Details

The 1890 edition of In Darkest Africa; or, The Quest, Rescue, and Retreat of Emin, Governor of Equatoria by Henry Morton Stanley (single-volume edition) is a gripping firsthand account of one of the most ambitious and perilous expeditions of the 19th century. Tasked with rescuing Emin Pasha, the beleaguered governor of Equatoria, Stanley and his team navigate the dense, uncharted jungles of Central Africa, facing extreme hardships including disease, starvation, hostile encounters, and the unforgiving terrain. This classic work, richly illustrated with maps and engravings, details not only the dramatic rescue mission but also the broader impact of European exploration in Africa.
