Book Synopsis
A lost treasure of women's travel writing that shocks and impresses, while shedding valuable light on the gender and race politics of the period

Trade Review
"There is a long chain of accounts by literary travellers to the Congo over more than a century, and it is good to have one such revealing narrative carefully restored to an uncensored version at last. The chilling episode at its heart reminds one of the cruel megalomania of Joseph Conrad's Mr. Kurtz." Adam Hochschild, author of King Leopold's Ghost "This fascinating, contemporaneous account will appeal to intrepid travelers." Library Journal
