Stanley – The Impossible Life of Africa`s Greatest Explorer

Henry Morton Stanley is arguably Britain’™s greatest land explorer of all time. His character though, is held in an entirely different regard – today he is remembered as a cruel imperialist in Africa, and as an American journalist who said: ‘œDr Livingstone, I presume?”.In this compelling biography, Tim Jeal reveals the truth about Stanley and shows how the Welsh-born workhouse boy has been misrepresented in previous accounts of his life. Drawing on thousands of new documents, Jeal vividly recreates the drama, suffering and courage of Stanley’™s three great journeys that solved the mystery of the sources of the Nile and the Congo.Through this superb tome Jeal movingly unveils a figure far more tragic, generous-hearted and chameleon-like than had ever been suspected.
