Ajutor

A scholar and explorer, Dr. Samuel Fergusson, accompanied by his manservant Joe and his friend professional hunter Richard ‘Dick’ Kennedy, sets out to travel across the African continent — still not fully explored — with the help of a balloon filled with hydrogen. He has invented a mechanism that, by eliminating the need to release gas or throw ballast overboard to control his altitude, allows very long trips to be taken. This voyage is meant to link together the voyages of Sir Richard Burton and John Hanning Speke in East Africa with those of Heinrich Barth in the regions of the Sahara and Chad. The trip begins in Zanzibar on the east coast, and passes across Lake Victoria, Lake Chad, Agadez, Timbuktu, Djenné and Ségou to St Louis in modern day Senegal on the west coast. The book describes the unknown interior of Africa near modern day Central African Republic as a desert, when it is actually savanna.Un savant et explorateur, le Dr Samuel Fergusson, accompagné de son serviteur Joe et son ami chasseur professionnel Richard ‘Dick’ Kennedy, décident de survoler l’Afrique orientale, de Zanzibar aux sources du Nil – pas encore totalement explorée – à bord d’un ballon gonflé à l’hydrogène, le ‘Victoria’. Il a inventé un mécanisme qui, en éliminant la nécessité de libérer du gaz ou de jeter de lest pour contrôler son altitude, permet de très longs trajets à prendre. Ce voyage est destiné à relier les voyages de Sir Richard Burton et John Hanning Speke en Afrique de l’Est avec celles de Heinrich Barth dans les régions du Sahara et du Tchad. Le voyage commence à Zanzibar sur la côte est, et passe à travers le lac Victoria, le lac Tchad, Agadez, Tombouctou, Djenné et Ségou à St Louis dans le jour moderne Sénégal sur la côte ouest. Le livre décrit les multiples et dangereuses aventures que vont vivre les trois hommes.
