Description

"Semblanzas, anécdotas e historias de las principales viajeras que llegaron a África en los siglos XIX y XX. Cristina Morató viajó por primera vez a África en 1983 y desde entonces ha recorrido varios países de este continente atraída por sus gentes y la grandeza de sus paisajes. Al igual que ella un buen número de extraordinarias viajeras y exploradoras sintieron en el pasado la «llamada de África». Estas damas que en plena selva se vestían formalmente para cenar o tomaban el té de las cinco en sus tazas de porcelana, también sabían cabalgar, cazar con arco, disparar un fusil, organizar una expedición con cientos de porteadores y construir un hogar en regiones inhóspitas. Aquí están las auténticas Memorias de África contadas por sus protagonistas: Mary Livingstone, Mary Slessor, Lady Juana Smith, Isabel de Urquiola, Alexine Tinne, Florence Baker, Mary Kingsley, Karen Blixen, Beryl Markham, Delia Akeley y Osa Johnson. Leyendo las aventuras de estas once mujeres -esposas de famosos exploradores, misioneras rebeldes, españolas de rompe y rasga, excéntricas aristócratas, apasionadas vividoras, cazadoras de elite y estrellas de cine-, nos sumergimos en un fascinante viaje por el África más legendaria." ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Drawings, anecdotes, and stories of the key travelers who came to Africa in the 19th and 20th centuries. Cristina Morató traveled to Africa for the first time in 1983 and ever since, she has traveled to several countries of that great continent attracted by its people and the greatness of its landscapes. Like her, a good number of extraordinary travelers and explorers have felt the "call of Africa." These ladies who, in the middle of the jungle would wear their formal dresses for dinner or for five o'clock tea in their porcelain cups, also knew how to ride, hunt with a bow and arrow, shoot a rifle, organize expeditions, and build a home in inhospitable regions. These are the authentic stories of what the movie "Out of Africa" tried to convey, told by their protagonists: Mary Livingstone, Mary Slessor, Lady Juana Smith, Isabel de Urquiola, Alexine Tinne, Florence Baker, Mary Kingsley, Karen Blixen, Beryl Markham, Delia Akeley, and Osa Johnson. By reading the adventures of these eleven women - wives of famous explorers, rebellious missionaries, take-charge type of women, eccentric aristocrats, passionate vixens, elite hunters, and movie stars - we immerse ourselves in a fascinating journey through a legendary Africa.
