Travel Translation Series: Adventures in the Lake District of Central Africa I
About This Novel
This book is a record of British explorer Richard F. Burton's nearly three years of travel in the Lake District of Central Africa in the 1850s. Under the leadership of the Royal Geographical Society, Burton and John Speke set out from Zanzibar on the east coast of Africa and headed west to the hinterland of Africa to find the source of the Nile River. In the book, Burton describes the customs and customs of Central Africa in great detail, including the local indigenous races, religions, forms of government, slavery, rural life, house architecture, folk customs, medicine, animals and plants, etc. The style of writing is real and not pretentious. It not only provides a wealth of knowledge, but also presents the most authentic features of Africa.
