Richard Burton proves once again his ability to write something interesting on any subject in this narrative of his trip from Liverpool to Fernando Po (Equatorial Guinea) in the early 1860's. The book is laid out chronologically, following his meandering progress down the west coast of Africa. Of course Burton stumbles upon many an adventure, as he inquires deeply into everything he encounters, not content to just pass through as an outsider. He is also able to expound on any subject, drawing on an incredible wealth of cultural and scientific knowledge to really flesh out his experiences. In two volumes.
