Sobre este artículo
The Folio Society, 1976 With a printed picture of the cover and brown maps of Africa on the end papers, and brown sprayed edges at the top only, this is the 1976 edition of Travels in West Africa. A previous owner of this copy has stamped their name on the front page, as can be seen in the image, but it only adds to the character of this book.. Hardcover. Very Good.
Sinopsis
What this book wants is not a simple Preface but an apology, and a very brilliant and convincing one at that. Recognising this fully, and feeling quite incompetent to write such a masterpiece, I have asked several literary friends to write one for me, but they have kindly but firmly declined, stating that it is impossible satisfactorily to apologise for my liberties with Lindley Murray and the Queen's English.
Reseñas
El Feb 7 2011, Honeykitten dijo:
I loved this book. It is available at my local library but I want my own copy because I am sure I will read it again. Before I read this I read A Voyager Out which was very helpful. Her writing style is similar to conversation she writes as a Victorian Cockney would talk using colloquialisms. Plus she was a very bold woman understanding her upbringing made reading her book more understandable. Very glad to have met Mary Kingsley through these two books.
