| Résumé : |
Livingstone, perhaps the best know missionary of them all. The story of a poor lad from Scotland whose attempts to find the source of the Nile and famous meeting with Henry Morton Stanley have become the stuff of legend.
The truth behind the legend, however, is even more compelling. Drawing extensively from Livingstone's personnel notes and letters, Rob Mackenzie unfolds the intensely human story of a man with a vision - to set souls free from slavery, both physically and spiritually, and to open up Africa to Christianity and lawful commerce. |
