5.0 out of 5 stars A man of his time, 26 April 2003
By A Customer
Working from uneven material, the author has drawn a deft and consistent portrait. Unflinching in his description of the attitudes of the time, the story also holds some mystery. Where did one find the backing to mount a substantial expedition amid a 1920s economy? How did one recruit a dozen Dayak tribesmen?
The massive effort required may be revealed in AFR Wollaston's own books. The Congo war still smoulders, and having read Adam Horschild's King Leopold's Ghost, perhaps I shall attempt 'From Ruwenzori to the Congo'.
A succinct book for a curtailed life, it carries throughout a soft metallic hint of premature death, and in retrospect brings on uneasy and morbid thoughts about the odd friend who died young, and how they seemed so achingly vital.
Above all, it is beautifully written by a reluctant biographer with a novelist's eye.
