Combining rich historical detail with gripping narrative, this bestseller ranks in the top 200 for African history and biographies, captivating readers with its vivid portrayal of exploration, political intrigue, and human endurance. ## Description In 1866 Britain's foremost explorer, Dr David Livingstone, went in search of the answer to an age-old geographical riddle: where was the source of the Nile? Livingstone set out with a large team, on a course that would lead through unmapped, seemingly impenetrable terrain into areas populated by fearsome man-eating tribes. Within weeks his expedition began to fall apart - his entourage deserted him and Livingstone vanished without trace. He would not be heard from again for two years. While debate raged in England over whether Livingstone could be found in the unmapped wilderness of the African interior, James Gordon Bennet, a brash young American newspaper tycoon, hatched a plan to capitalise on the world's fascination with the missing legend. He commissioned his star reporter, Henry Morton Stanley (born John Rowlands in Wales!), to search for Livingstone. Stanley undertook his quest with gusto, filing reports that captivated readers and dominated the front page of the New York Herald for months. INTO AFRICA traces the journeys of Livingstone and Stanley in alternating chapters. Livingstone's is one of trials and set-backs, that finds him alone and miles from civilisation. Stanley's is an awakening to the beauty of Africa, the grandeur of the landscape and the vivid diversity of its wildlife. It is also a journey that succeeds beyond his wildest dreams, clinching his place in history with the famous enquiry: 'Dr Livingstone, I presume?'. In this, the first book to examine the extraordinary physical challenges, political intrigue and larger-than-life personalities of this legendary story, Martin Dugard has opened a fascinating window on the golden age of exploration that will appeal to everyone's sense of adventure. Review: Ein Muss für Freunde alter Entdeckungen - Die Geschichte der Entwicklung Afrikas und des großen Einflusses der Araber und des Islams ist ein interessantes Nebenprodukt dieses Werkes. Exakt und ohne lästigen Kommentar geschrieben. Review: Ripping Yarn - I loved this book. I get through maybe 20 history books a year but this is one of the most enjoyable I've ever read. Thanks to Stanley's diary there is a lot of information about the perils he faced so there's plenty of detail and a real insight into the characters involved. And what perils. Virtually every few pages describe a new threat to his mission, something which would have caused lesser mortals to give up and go home. Perhaps the best thing though is the background about the truly awful life he had had before becoming a journalist which made him absolutely determined that he would succeed in his mission and gain the World's respect, whatever the cost. This gives the story real human interest. Well written, fascinating and I actually missed reading it when it was finished. I loved it. ## Features - Binding : paperback - Pages : 416 - Publisher : Bantam Books (Transworld Publishers a division of the Random House Group) ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #87,959 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #134 in History of Africa #177 in Biographies of Political Leaders #214 in Biographies of Travelers & Explorers | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 489 Reviews | ## Images ![Into Africa: The Epic Adventures Of Stanley And Livingstone - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81elqjotl-L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ein Muss für Freunde alter Entdeckungen *by B***R on 7 October 2019* Die Geschichte der Entwicklung Afrikas und des großen Einflusses der Araber und des Islams ist ein interessantes Nebenprodukt dieses Werkes.

Même si la trame est entièrement historique, l'ouvrage se lit comme un roman et est recommandé par Bill Bryson, écrivain-voyageur américain que je vous recommande chaudement (A lire notamment: in a sunburned country sur l'Australie, son exploration passée, ses dangers, les mésaventures de l'auteur, etc.) Into Africa n'est cependant pas à mettre entre toutes les mains 1°) parce qu'il faut maîtriser la langue de Shakespeare, bien sûr 2°) parce qu'il faut parfois avoir le coeur bien accroché pour digérer les descriptions des moeurs de certaines tribus, des maladies, des attaques des animaux carnivores. En tout cas une chose est sure: vous admirerez ces aventuriers d'un âge révolu qui risquaient plus leur vie que nos aventuriers contemporains suréquipés et survaccinés... --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/254199664-into-africa-the-epic-adventures-of-stanley-and-livingstone](https://www.desertcart.us/products/254199664-into-africa-the-epic-adventures-of-stanley-and-livingstone) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-07-15*
