Sobre este artículo
London: Dent / Everymans Library , 1987 Book. Near Fine. Pbk. 1st Pbk Edition. Travels in West Africa (Everyman Classics Series)No European woman had ventured where Kingsley would venture, and no man either. In defiance of Victorian notions about women's roles, she journeyed through West Africa, climbed mountains, experienced harrowing adventures, dwelling among cannibals, and lived to write one of the most admired books of high adventure of all time. Introduced and abridged by Elspeth Huxley from the book first published in 1897, 270p. maps .
Sinopsis
Supported by a family inheritance that gave her £500 a year, Mary Henrietta Kingsley traveled to Africa to complete the book her father had started. The subject was the culture of Africa and Kingsley stayed with local people while she learned to survive in the African jungles, studied cannibal tribes, discovered new species of fish, and climbed Mount Cameroon by a route untouched by any European before her. Kingsley's ideas greatly influenced European ideas about Africa and the African people and her 1897 account, Travels in West Africa, quickly became a best-seller.
