Livingstone's first book revolutionized the way European readers saw Africa and made him a hero in England. He returned again to the Zambesi with his brother Charles and others, this time with more equipment and funds. Again he faced hippopotami, crocodiles, impossible terrain, and disease, but his greatest enemies on this trip prove to be human. The British eventually lost faith in the expedition, but Livingstone proved in the end to have had tremendous foresight.

This riveting history is a firsthand account of the long and arduous search for one of the greatest explorers of the 19th century. Journalist and adventurer Henry M.

A real-life adventure story, How I Found Livingstone in Central Africa tells of the incredible hardships - disease, hostile natives, tribal warfare, impenetrable jungles, and other obstacles - faced by a daring explorer. This must-have account also includes a wealth of information on various African peoples.

Xavier Moret recorre en este audiolibro el África oriental, recordando a su paso a los exploradores que lo hicieron antes que él, cuando el centro de África era, en los mapas occidentales, un gran espacio en blanco. Su ruta parte de Zanzíbar, de donde salieron la mayoría de expediciones al interior del continente, sigue por Tanzania, el lugar donde se produjo el mítico encuentro entre Stanley y Livingstone, llega hasta Uganda, origen del Nilo, sigue hasta Kenia y se adentra luego en la despiadada colonización del Congo.

David Livingstone was a Scottish missionary and one of the greatest European explorers who ever lived. He fought all his life against slavery, and is remembered as a national hero for opening up the interior of the so-called "Dark Continent"; his expeditions had a tremendous influence on the colonization of Africa and the relation between Europeans and Africans. The son of a Christian missionary himself, Livingstone felt a spiritual calling to reach people in the interior of Africa in order to find new commercial routes and thus free the Africans from the plague of slavery.

Hello. I’m Steev Livingstone and I am the Forest Janny. In this podcast I speak to people who live and work in the Scottish Highlands and who have a connection to its wild places. At the beginning of 2025 I moved up to the Highlands and as an outsider myself, I’m especially keen to hear the stories of others who have been drawn to the area.

"Ud for Afrikas østkyst svømmer en ø i tropesolen; Zanzibar er dens navn, og den er berømt over hele jordkloden for sine kryddernelliker. Før fly blev et gængs transportmiddel, kom de rejsende sejlende til øen, og længe inden den dukkede op i horisonten, bølgede den stærke kryddernellikeduft skibets passagerer i møde." Journalist Arne Falk-Rønne er rejst til det afrikanske kontinent for at følge "I Stanleys fodspor" 100 år efter, han fandt Livingstone. Arne Falk-Rønne (1920-1992) var en dansk forfatter, journalist, rejseleder og eventyrer.
