About this product

Product Information

David Livingstone has gone down in history as a fearless explorer and missionary, hacking his way through the jungles of Africa to bring light to the people - and also to free them from slavery. But who was he, and what was he actually like? `He was an extraordinary character' according to biographer Stephen Tomkins `unbelievably bad at personal relationships, at least with white people, with infinite self-belief, courage and restlessness. He was a flawed but indomitable idealist.' Fascinating new evidence about Livingstone's life, and his struggles have come to light in the letters and journals he left behind, now accessible to us for the first time through spectral imaging. These form a large part of the source material for this excellent biography, which provides an honest and balanced account of the real man behind the Victorian icon.

A Compelling Read So Far
Any book about this missionary and exploration hero is worth reading. As far as I have read, the book gives interesting insight and does not try to paint Dr Livingstone as an infallible saint, but rather a normal but precocious man that God used in an extraordinary way.
