Africa in the heart

A small literary gem that takes us on track from Brazzaville to Zanzibar in the footsteps of Savorgnan de Brazza and Stanley "discoverers" of Central Africas; a literary travel model that allows us to cross the destinies of Livingstone, Schweitzer, Tippu Tip (the famous and feared merchant desclaves Zanzibar) and Louis Ferdinand Céline (Back then LF Destouches) and ambiguous leaders of independence Jonas Savimbi to Detat contemporary chefs, not to mention the failure of Che Guevara pathetic beside the Tanganyika. We also retain the magnificent pages on Zanzibar, Sao Tome and deep forest of Congo as well as sensitive sketches of places, moments and characters in this literary crusaders quest.
Read complement the remarkable book by David Van Reybrouck: Congo, a story (2012).
