FNH audio presents an unabridged reading of How I Found Livingstone. In 1866 Dr David Livingstone entered the dark continent of Africa in search for the source of the river Nile and disappeared. In 1869 Henry M. Stanley, funded by the New York Herald drove his expedition into the heart of Africa to find and relieve Livingstone. Stanley's journey became a true-life adventure. Adversity of every kind stood in his way. Starvation, inundation, murderous natives, mutiny, thieves, extortionists, murderers, slavers, and even becoming embroiled in a war.

On Inhumanity is bracing and vital listen in a world lurching towards authoritarian political regimes, resurgent white nationalism, refugee crises that breed nativist hostility, and fast-spreading racist rhetoric. The book will open your eyes to the pervasive dangers of dehumanization and the prejudices that can too easily take root within us, and resist them before they spread into the wider world.

"Timerne der passerer på en psykiatrisk afdeling, er de længste jeg har levet igennem. Tiden er en kompakt masse, en klippe foran én man aktivt skal hakke sig igennem, kæmpende og svedende; som redskaber bruger vi ikke hammer og segl, men kaffe, smøger, bordtennis og brætspil at slå tiden ihjel med. Med så sløve våben tilgængelige føles det som at svømme ad en uendelig flod i substans så tyk som tjære."
