The Scottish missionary and explorer David Livingstone (1813 – 1973) died in today’s Zambia in search of the sources of the Nile. Under the guidance of his cook Halima, 69 companions brought his body back to London. A daring 1,600-kilometer-long journey begins as a race against hunger and disease. An exciting adventure novel that addresses the history of African colonialism and slavery.
