Edizione: “forbath has dared set foot where no earlier writer dared to tread. others have followed a favorite african explorer or stream in the name of adventure and insight, but forbath is the first to attempt the ambitious task of putting them all together. in a swiftly moving narrative, he re-creates the questions asked by generations of western sailors and hikers. forbath has done a fine job of putting together the pieces of the puzzle he found while he watched the silvery gray water and listed to the sounds of silence at stanleyville” (“washington post”).
