Book excerpt: After an astonishing career as explorer and missionary, Dr David Livingstone disappeared back into his beloved Africa for one last time in search of the source of the Nile. He believed that the river sprang from four mysterious fountains which had been known to the ancient Greeks. Livingstone faced his task with unparalleled bravery but he was frail and eventually he died on the shores of a swampy lake. Over a century later, Colum Wilson and Aisling Irwin, husband and wife, retraced his last journey on foot, canoe and bicycle. They found vivid evidence of his continuing legacy to East Africa - and haunting echoes of his spirit.

Download or read book Livingstone's 'lives' written by Justin Livingstone and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2014-11-01 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: David Livingstone, the ‘missionary-explorer’, has attracted more commentary than nearly any other Victorian hero. Beginning in the years following his death, he soon became the subject of a major biographical tradition. Yet out of this extensive discourse, no unified image of Livingstone emerges. Rather, he has been represented in diverse ways and in a variety of socio-political contexts. Until now, no one has explored Livingstone’s posthumous reputation in full. This book meets the challenge. In approaching Livingstone’s complex legacy, it adopts a metabiographical perspective: in other words, this book is a biography of biographies. Rather than trying to uncover the true nature of the subject, metabiography is concerned with the malleability of biographical representation. It does not aim to uncover Livingstone’s ‘real’ identity, but instead asks: what has he been made to mean? Crossing disciplinary boundaries, Livingstone’s 'lives' will interest scholars of imperial history, postcolonialism, life-writing, travel-writing and Victorian studies.

Download or read book The Last Journals of David Livingstone, in Central Africa, from Eighteen Hundred and Sixty-Five to his Death written by Horace Waller and published by Read Books Ltd. This book was released on 2015-02-18 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book (first published in 1874) contains extracts from last journals written by David Livingstone, together with an account of his last moments and sufferings. This fantastic volume is recommended for those with an interest in the life and work of the famous explorer, and is not to be missed by collectors of antiquarian literature of this ilk. Horace Waller (1833–1896) was an English activist and missionary famous for being a close friend of David Livingstone and a prolific writer on the subject of Africa. David Livingstone (1813 - 1873), was a Scottish Congregationalist pioneer medical missionary with the London Missionary Society, as well as a famed explorer. Perhaps one of the most popular national heroes of the late-nineteenth century in Victorian Britain, Livingstone had a mythic status, which operated on a number of interconnected levels: Protestant missionary martyr, working-class "rags to riches" inspirational story, scientific investigator and explorer, imperial reformer, anti-slavery crusader, and advocate of commercial empire. Many vintage texts such as this are becoming increasingly rare and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now, in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The captivating, untold story of the great explorer, David Livingstone: his abiding faith and his heroic efforts to end the African slave trade Saint? Missionary? Scientist? Explorer? The titles given to David Livingstone since his death are varied enough to seem dubious—and with good reason. In view of the confessions in his own journals, saint is out of the question. Even missionary is tenuous, considering he made only one convert. And despite his fame as a scientist and explorer, Livingstone left his most indelible mark on Africa in an arena few have previously examined: slavery. His impact on abolishing what he called “this awful slave-trade” has been shockingly overlooked as the centerpiece of his African mission. Until now. The Daring Heart of David Livingstone tells his story from the beginning of his time in Africa to the publicity stunt that saved millions after his death.

Download or read book David Livingstone written by Charles Silvester Horne and published by . This book was released on 1913 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At first it seemed unnecessary to re-write his life. The task has been so well fulfilled by many sympathetic biographers. For anyone who has the patience and the leisure it is to be found recorded in the fascinating pages of his journals. But it is so great a possession that there seemed to be room for yet another attempt to present it to those in our busy century who ask for short measure and a clear, simple narrative of facts. This is what the present biography aspires to be. The author has aimed not so much at telling the story as at allowing the story to tell itself. It may be added that, in the belief of the writer, Livingstone is greatest, not as a scientist, nor an explorer, but as a man and a missionary. - Preface.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This continuation volume of the Pan-African Chronology set covers the most significant events in the African diaspora from the end of the American Civil War through the pre-World War I years. This was a time of great change for black Americans--Reconstruction, the founding of the NAACP, the formation of the separate but equal doctrine, and the migration of blacks from the rural South to Northern cities. The eradication of slavery as a legalized institution was finally realized in the Americas, while the struggle to end it in Asia was also taking place. European colonialism in Africa was accelerated, ironically coinciding with humanitarian efforts to end the slave trade on the African continent. These events and many others are covered here.
