Beskrivelse
""Two Trips to Gorilla Land and the Cataracts of the Congo V1"" is a travelogue written by the famous British explorer, Richard F. Burton. The book chronicles Burton's two expeditions to Central Africa in the mid-19th century, during which he explored the region's dense jungles and encountered various native tribes. The first trip, which took place in 1858, saw Burton and his team venture into what is now known as Gabon, where they encountered gorillas and other exotic wildlife. The second trip, which took place in 1863, saw Burton travel up the Congo River to explore the region's famous cataracts, which posed a significant challenge to European explorers at the time. Throughout the book, Burton provides vivid descriptions of the landscapes, people, and wildlife he encountered, as well as his own thoughts and reflections on the experience of exploring one of the world's most remote and challenging regions. The book is a fascinating account of one of the most important periods in the history of African exploration, and a must-read for anyone interested in the history of travel and adventure.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
