But the true story behind Dr. David Livingstone and journalist   Henry Morton Stanley is one that has escaped telling. \u003ci\u003eInto Africa \u003c\/i\u003eis an extraordinarily   researched account of a thrilling adventure—defined by alarming foolishness, intense   courage, and raw human achievement.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In the mid-1860s, exploration had reached a   plateau. The seas and continents had been mapped, the globe circumnavigated. Yet   one vexing puzzle remained unsolved: what was the source of the mighty Nile river?   Aiming to settle the mystery once and for all, Great Britain called upon its legendary   explorer, Dr. David Livingstone, who had spent years in Africa as a missionary. In   March 1866, Livingstone steered a massive expedition into the heart of Africa. In   his path lay nearly impenetrable, uncharted terrain, hostile cannibals, and deadly   predators. Within weeks, the explorer had vanished without a trace. Years passed   with no word.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e While debate raged in England over whether Livingstone could be found—or   rescued—from a place as daunting as Africa, James Gordon Bennett, Jr., the brash   American newspaper tycoon, hatched a plan to capitalize on the world’s fascination   with the missing legend. He would send a young journalist, Henry Morton Stanley,   into Africa to search for Livingstone. A drifter with great ambition, but little   success to show for it, Stanley undertook his assignment with gusto, filing reports   that would one day captivate readers and dominate the front page of the \u003ci\u003eNew York   Herald\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Tracing the amazing journeys of Livingstone and Stanley in alternating   chapters, author Martin Dugard captures with breathtaking immediacy the perils and   challenges these men faced. Woven into the narrative, Dugard tells an equally compelling   story of the remarkable transformation that occurred over the course of nine years,   as Stanley rose in power and prominence and Livingstone found himself alone and in   mortal danger. The first book to draw on modern research and to explore the combination   of adventure, politics, and larger-than-life personalities involved, \u003ci\u003eInto Africa\u003c\/i\u003e is a riveting read.","brand":"Crown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43365584470271,"sku":"9780767910743","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9780767910743_s600x595.jpg?v=1775598886","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9780767910743","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
