Herzen Von Afrika

Herzen von Afrika

by Georg Schweinfurth

Schweinfurth trat 1868 im Auftrag der Humboldt-Stiftung in Berlin eine große Reise nach Afrika an. 1869 reiste er von Khartum aus nilaufwärts nach Faschoda und nach dem Gebiet der Dschur. Mit Sklavenjägern immer weiter vordringend, durchzog er die Länder der Bongo, Schilluk, Nuer und der Dinka, unternahm eine Reise zu den menschenfressenden Niam-Niam, besuchte das Land der Mittu und Madi und entdeckte im Lande der bis dahin noch unbekannten, ebenfalls kannibalischen Monbuttu, den Uellefluß (Uelle-Makua (Ubangi)). Ebenso gewann er sichere Kunde von dem Zwergvolk der Akka. Nach Überwindung der größten Schwierigkeiten traf er im Juli 1871 wieder wohlbehalten in Khartum ein. "Die von ihm erlangten Resultate in Ethnographie, Botanik und Geographie reihen sich daher dem Bedeutendsten an, was je auf afrikanischem Boden erreicht worden ist." (Friedrich Embacher über das Werk Im Herzen von Afrika). (Summary by Wikipedia)Das CD Booklet enthält einige Zeichungen von Georg Schweinfurth, auf welche im Laufe der Lesung verwiesen wird. Ein Ausdruck zur Veranschaulichung der Verweise wird empfohlen.
