| Description: | In search of direction, Jeffrey Tayler left a comfortable but unsatisfying existence in Moscow for a taste of adventure. Seduced by Victorian explorers' tales of derring-do, he decided to embark on an expedition to the Democratic Republic of Congo (formerly Zaire), deep in Africa's heart of darkness. Leaving the capital, Kinshasa, on a barge teeming with merchants, deck-hands, prostitutes, families & fishermen, Tayler heads up the Congo river towards Kisangani, 1,100 miles away. Then, at the end of a journey which would have made a book in itself, the real test began - a descent of the river's longest navigable stretch in hand-carved pirogue... |
| Key Points: | "Captivating
Reading" THE SUNDAY TIMES "A fascinating record of an often breathtaking journey, Tayler's account is also an incredible adventure story" IRISH NEWS |
