A compulsively readable account of an African country now virtually
inaccessible to the outside world and one journalist's daring and
adventurous journey. When Daily Telegraph correspondent Tim Butcher
was sent to cover Africa he quickly became obsessed with the idea
of recreating H.M. Stanley's famous expedition - but travelling
alone. Despite warnings that his plan was 'suicidal', Butcher set
out for the Congo's eastern border with just a rucksack and a few
thousand dollars hidden in his boots. Making his way in an
assortment of vessels including a motorbike and a dugout canoe,
helped along by a cast of characters from UN aid workers to a
campaigning pygmy, he followed in the footsteps of the great
Victorian adventurers. VINTAGE VOYAGES: A world of journeys, from
the tallest mountains to the depths of the mind
