Dark Star Safari - by Paul Theroux (Paperback)

Dark Star Safari by Paul Theroux is a thrilling and dangerous account of his journey across Africa, filled with witty observations and endearingly irascible narration.

Join him as he takes on the length of Africa by rattletrap bus, dugout canoe, cattle truck, armed convoy, ferry, and train, encountering natives, aid workers, missionaries, and tourists along the way.

This masterwork by a master writer offers a litany of Africa's ills, but also makes you fall in love with the continent.

With a gritty lesson in history, politics, aid relief, and tourism, this book is a middle-aged man's meditation on life and travel, and a complete portrait of a continent's people, politics, and economy.

Don't miss out on this epic journey through Africa, a continent of incredible disparity and resilience.
