Como eu atravessei Àfrica do Atlantico ao mar Indico, volume segundo

A determined explorer charts a bold trek from the Atlantic coast of Benguela deep into the interior of Africa, mapping uncharted rivers, cataracts and mountain passes while recording the customs of the peoples he meets. The narrative blends meticulous geographical notes with vivid ethnographic sketches, supported by dozens of hand‑drawn maps and illustrations that bring the landscape to life. Early chapters follow his arrival at the Zambezi, where he is welcomed by King Lobossi and drawn into the delicate politics of the Barôze court, facing intrigue, an attempted murder and a sudden blaze that forces a hurried retreat to the mountains.

Amid these adventures, the story introduces the Coillard family, who find themselves imprisoned in a remote settlement and grapple with a serious illness. Their resolve and the doctor's interventions set the stage for a daring departure across harsh terrain. The account then moves toward a grueling desert crossing, where scarcity of water and encounters with nomadic groups test the travelers’ endurance and resourcefulness, promising further discoveries ahead.
