| Meer info | This book became a bestseller because it detailed what Park observed, what he survived, and the people he encountered. His dispassionate descriptions set a standard for future travel writers to follow and gave Europeans a glimpse of Africa's humanity and complexity. Park introduced them to a vast continent unexplored by Europeans, and proposed by example that Europeans could exploit it. |
