Hardcover. Enlarged format.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis third Soviet edition offers a classic account of David Livingstone’s second major African expedition, chronicling his exploration of the Zambezi River and its tributaries. The text provides a deep dive into the internal logic of 19th-century geographical discovery, including the arrangement of the expedition's scientific observations, the search for a navigable route to the interior, and the first detailed European descriptions of Lake Nyasa and the Shire Valley. Co-authored with his brother Charles, David Livingstone's narrative combines rigorous botanical and zoological data with a profound humanitarian critique of the East African slave trade, which he encountered throughout his travels.\u003cbr\u003eThe 1956 Geografgiz publication is noted for its high-quality cartographic materials and illustrations prepared by artists N. V. Seregin and A. N. Pavlov. These visual elements, along with the included maps, serve as vital primary sources for visualizing the landscapes and cultures of Central and Southeast Africa as they appeared to Victorian explorers. The book documents the challenges of river navigation on the steamer Ma-Robert and the tragic loss of members of the expedition party. For bibliophiles, geographers, and collectors of travel literature, this enlarged format edition is an outstanding specimen of Soviet popular-science publishing, preserving the spirit of the great age of African exploration in a sturdy and scholarly presentation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stanza Rare Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43963096662058,"sku":"EB-306564123546","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0701\/6359\/5306\/files\/57_cd31cec8-5dc4-4abc-ba01-a5a955f9f83b.jpg?v=1768161021","url":"https:\/\/stanzararebooks.com\/products\/livingstone-journeys-on-the-zambezi-1956-%d0%bb%d0%b8%d0%b2%d0%b8%d0%bd%d0%b3%d1%81%d1%82%d0%be%d0%bd-%d0%bf%d1%83%d1%82%d0%b5%d1%88%d0%b5%d1%81%d1%82%d0%b2%d0%b8%d0%b5-%d0%bf%d0%be-%d0%b7%d0%b0%d0%bc%d0%b1%d0%b5%d0%b7%d0%b8","provider":"Stanza Rare Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
