David Livingstone was a doctor from Scotland, trained at the
University of Glasgow and sent to South Africa by the London
Missionary Society. He attended to both the spiritual and physical
needs of people as he met them, but he also aimed to help people by
being more strategic - trying to end slavery and promote trade.
These quests caused him to be the first European to cross the
African Continent. It should be noted that Livingstone's words are
of his time and would be seen as racist by today's standards. He
uses the terms and the science that were available to him, which
were flawed, but is fascinated by the people that he meets and
approaches them as fellow human beings. He writes with delicious
humor and captivates the reader. This is book that both fascinates
and enthrals.
