Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An African Adventure Rom earliest boyhood when I read the works of Henry M. Stanley and books about Cecil Rhodes, Africa has called to me. It was not until I met General Smuts during the Great War, however, that I had a definite reason for going there. After these late years of blood and battle America and Europe seemed tame. Besides, the economic war after the war developed into a struggle as bitter as the actual physical conflict. Discord and discon tent became the portion of the civilized world. I wan ted to get as far as possible from all this social unrest and financial dislocation. So much interest was evinced in the magazine articles which first set forth the record of my jour ney that I was prompted to expand them into this book. It may enable the reader to discover a section of the one-time Dark Continent without the hard ships which I experienced.

Download or read book Adventures Classic Reprint written by Lord Baden-Powell and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Adventures The word "Pentwall" is not in the dictionary. Actually it has no meaning. But I thought it might tickle your curiosity. If I headed this page as "Preface" probably you would not read it. Few people read Prefaces. But I want to save you from having to wade through this book in order to find out what it is about. So I tell you, here and now, that it records incidents and impressions of my recent trip round Africa, and that one of its objects is to encourage people - especially Scouts and other young creatures - to travel. You see, life is short; yet much of it is wasted by people becoming vegetables, and not very satisfied or satisfactory vegetables at that. Whereas a little roaming about this wonderful globe while they are on it can give them that wider outlook and those greater sympathies which develop the soul in the individual and goodwill and peace in the world. Knowing this of the book, you can now take it or leave it. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Man-Eaters of Tsavo: And Other East African Adventures From the time of Herodotus until to-day, lion stories innumerable have been told and written. I have put some on record myself. But no lion story I have ever heard or read equals in its long sustained and dramatic interest the story of the Tsavo man-eaters as told by Col. Patterson. A lion story is usually a tale of adventures, often very terrible and pathetic, which occupied but a few hours of one night; but the tale of the Tsavo man eaters is an epic of terrible tragedies spread out over several months, and only at last brought to an end by the resource and determination of one man.

Book excerpt: An African Adventure This book is a result of an effort made by us towards making a contribution to the preservation and repair of original classic literature. In an attempt to preserve, improve and recreate the original content, we have worked towards: 1. Type-setting & Reformatting: The complete work has been re-designed via professional layout, formatting and type-setting tools to re-create the same edition with rich typography, graphics, high quality images, and table elements, giving our readers the feel of holding a 'fresh and newly' reprinted and/or revised edition, as opposed to other scanned & printed (Optical Character Recognition - OCR) reproductions. 2. Correction of imperfections: As the work was re-created from the scratch, therefore, it was vetted to rectify certain conventional norms with regard to typographical mistakes, hyphenations, punctuations, blurred images, missing content/pages, and/or other related subject matters, upon our consideration. Every attempt was made to rectify the imperfections related to omitted constructs in the original edition via other references. However, a few of such imperfections which could not be rectified due to intentional\unintentional omission of content in the original edition, were inherited and preserved from the original work to maintain the authenticity and construct, relevant to the work. We believe that this work holds historical, cultural and/or intellectual importance in the literary works community, therefore despite the oddities, we accounted the work for print as a part of our continuing effort towards preservation of literary work and our contribution towards the development of the society as a whole, driven by our beliefs. We are grateful to our readers for putting their faith in us and accepting our imperfections with regard to preservation of the historical content. HAPPY READING!

Download or read book African Stories Classic Reprint written by Albert David Helser and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-05-17 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from African Stories Mr. Helser has given us an accurate translation of the native material which we hope will sometime be supplemented by the publication of the native texts. What may appear now and then as a curious turn of English style is not a defect, it is due to the close adherence to native style. Thus the mode of thought and expression of the native is brought clearly before us. Taken in connection with the voluminous litera[ ture on Sudanese folklore, the tales give us an insight into the inner life of the natives that cannot be equalled by any description of a traveller, no matter how observant he may be. Nothing renders the spirit of an alien culture more clearly than the tales dealing with everyday life, with adventures that seem interest ing to the native, and with their beliefs in regard to the supernatural. The collection is a valuable contribution to native lore and will be found of great interest to the reader who wishes to understand alien cultures.

Download or read book The Granta Book of the African Short Story written by Helon Habila and published by Granta Books. This book was released on 2011-09-01 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Presenting a diverse and dazzling collection from all over the continent, from Morocco to Zimbabwe, Uganda to Kenya. Helon Habila focuses on younger, newer writers - contrasted with some of their older, more established peers - to give a fascinating picture of a new and more liberated Africa. These writers are characterized by their engagement with the wider world and the opportunities offered by the end of apartheid, the end of civil wars and dictatorships, and the possibilities of free movement. Their work is inspired by travel and exile. They are liberated, global and expansive. As Dambudzo Marechera wrote: 'If you're a writer for a specific nation or specific race, then f*** you." These are the stories of a new Africa, punchy, self-confident and defiant. Includes stories by: Fatou Diome; Aminatta Forna; Manuel Rui; Patrice Nganang; Leila Aboulela; Zo Wicomb; Alaa Al Aswany; Doreen Baingana; E.C. Osondu.
