Description
Fans ofA ChocolatA andA ApocalypseNowA will love this â?oemotionally empatheticâ?? adaptation. (Screencraft)â?oI felt like a kid again, watching an old black-and-white Tarzan movie, with all of its prejudices and biases, but also with all of its excitement and adventure.â?? â?"Dennis T. Faleris, Amazon reviewerThe untold story of â?~Stanley and Livingston,â?T and the woman who made their fame possible. A No one had heard from Janet Livingstonâ?Ts brother in years. The world-famous missionary and explorer had captured the imagination of millions with his book about his travels through the Colonial British Empireâ?▌ but then he simply vanished. A So, when Janet received a cryptic message from Africa, along with a necklace their father gave him, she knew he was still alive and needed her help. But a woman traveling alone to the farthest corners of the Empire was simply out of the question. A Enter Henry Stanley, the over-confident American explorer. All too happy to make his mark by finding David Livingston, he was not about to let a woman, of all things, slow him down. Heâ?Td lead the team, assuming Janet, who had never left her tiny Scottish town, would simply drop out before they even started. A Into Africa is the thrilling story of Janet Livingston, her epic clash with Henry Stanley and her surprising relationship with their guide, Goma Foutou, amidst the brutal reality of a continent ravaged by the slave trade and European colonialism. â?oIâ?Tm a fan of The Poisonwood Bible, which deals with Africa, colonialism, missionaries, and cultural clashes, so I had to check this out. I was not disappointed! I highly recommend Into Africa to fans of The Poisonwood Bible.â?? â?"Avid Reader and Book Collector, book reviewerâ?oTruly fascinating and original depiction of a true story...faithfully adapted.â??A â?"Screencraftâ?oAnd, as a history buff, it was enjoyable to read about the other events taking place at the same time.
