Dark Star Safari: Overland from Cairo to Capetown

Libro Usado, Tapa Blanda. The legendary travel writer’s thrilling and dangerous account of his journey across Africa. A rattletrap bus, dugout canoe, cattle truck, armed convoy, ferry, and train. In the course of his epic and enlightening journey―an overland trek from Cairo to Cape Town―wittily observant and endearingly irascible Paul Theroux endures danger, delay, and dismaying circumstances. Gauging the state of affairs, he talks to Africans, aid workers, missionaries, and tourists. What results is an insightful meditation on the history, politics, and beauty of Africa and its people. Theroux returns to the continent he knew as a young man, asking a hard question: After forty years of independence, foreign aid, and political turmoil, what has become of Africa?
