| Résumé : |
In this sympathetic biography of Henry Morton Stanley, who famously asked, 'Dr Livingstone, I presume?', Tim Jeal takes issue with the portrayal of Stanley as a cruel racist who tricked the Congolese chieftains into giving their lands to the Belgians. He argues that Stanley was a gentle and courageous if insecure man, who respected Africans and would not have been able to succeed in his expeditions without native support.
