"Missionary Travels and Researches in South Africa, authored by David Livingstone, is a ... travel narrative that documents the extraordinary journeys of the Scottish explorer and missionary across Southern Africa during the 19th century ... David Livingstone's book chronicles his efforts to combine his missionary work with extensive explorations of the African continent. Through vivid descriptions and firsthand accounts, he shares his encounters with diverse African cultures, wildlife, and landscapes. Livingstone's exploration of the Zambezi River and his discovery of the Victoria Falls are among the notable highlights detailed in the book. Livingstone's narrative also delves into the harsh realities of the African slave trade and his dedication to ending this brutal practice. He provides insights into the challenges he faced, including navigating treacherous terrain and fostering relationships with local communities. The book captures Livingstone's deep respect for African cultures and his commitment to understanding and improving the lives of the people he encountered"--From Boswell Book Company website.

Banff Mountain Book Awards WINNER The spellbinding true story of retracing the extraordinary trek of Ewart "the Leopard" Grogan—the legendary British explorer who, in order to win the woman he loved, attempted to become the first person to cross Africa In 1898 the dashing British adventurer Ewart Grogan fell head-over-heels in love—but before he could marry, he needed the approval of his beloved's skeptical, aristocratic stepfather. Grogan, seeking to prove his worth and earn his love's hand, then set out on an epic quest to become the first man to cross the entire length of Africa, from Cape Town to Cairo, "a feat hitherto thought by many explorers to be impossible" (New York Times). A little more than a century later, American journalist Julian Smith also found himself madly in love with his girlfriend of seven years... but he was terrified by the prospect of marraige. Inspired by Grogan's story, which he discovered by chance, Smith decided to face his fears of commitment by retracing the explorer's amazing—but now forgotten—4,500-mile journey for love and glory through Africa. Crossing the Heart of Africa is the unforgettable account of these twin adventures, as Smith beautifully ineterweaves his own contemporary journey with Grogan's larger-than-life tale of cannibal attacks, charging elephants, deadly jungles, and romantic triumph.

"Traversa" is a fascinating account of the hardships and hilarity Fran Sandham experienced during his epic solo journey on foot across Africa, from the Skeleton Coast to the Indian Ocean through Namibia, Zambia, Malawi and Tanzania. Inspired by the legendary crossings of the great explorers, Sandham left the daily grind of London to undertake an extraordinary adventure. "Traversa" describes his brushes with danger in the form of lions and snakes, land mines and bandits, his 2-month battle with a syphilitic donkey, malaria and the everyday troubles that arise when walking across Africa. Underpinned with stories of the great explorers themselves - Livingstone, Stanley and Galton among others - "Traversa" is the written proof of Sandham's grit, determination and sheer obsession with the continent of Africa.

Excerpt from How I Crossed Africa: From the Atlantic to the Indian Ocean, Through Unknown Countries; Discovery of the Great Zambesi Affluents, &C.; Part I. The King's Rifle; Part II. The Coillard Family April had come to an end, and with the beginning of May set in the heat, which was very powerfully felt in Faro. I began to form projects for the summer, when one day I received a telegram requiring me to report my self immediately to the general in command of the division. On proceeding thither I found an order to repair without loss of time to the presence of the Minister of the Colonies. Adieu to home, adieu to dressing-gowns, adieu to slip pers! Adieu to the tranquil and placid life I had been spending amidst my dear ones I must return to the busy world once more. Four days later on, seated around a large table, in a great hall at the Ministry of Marine, were a dozen grave person ages, some with spectacles and some without, some old and others new, but all well known in the scientific or literary world, or for their public services, who had met together to discuss the often mooted question of Africa. This solemn session was presided over by the minister, Jose de Mello Gouvea. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
