Summary | "Como eu atravessei Àfrica do Atlântico ao mar Índico, volume segundo" by Pinto is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book details the author's remarkable journey across Africa, focusing on ethnographic studies and geographical determinations, specifically from Benguella to the eastern regions of the continent. The narrative describes the author's interactions with various tribes, notable figures such as King Lobossi, and the challenges faced during the expedition, all set against the backdrop of the complex political landscape of the time. At the start of the narrative, we are introduced to the author's explorations in the kingdom of Barôze, where he chronicles his audience with King Lobossi and his interactions with the king's advisors. The author describes the rich political organization of the kingdom and highlights the complexities of indigenous governance, including alliances and intrigues. In the opening chapters, he faces health challenges, topics of trade, and the brewing tensions within the kingdom, which ultimately lead to a violent attack on his camp. This establishes the groundwork for a gripping tale of survival and diplomacy in a land filled with diverse people and perilous situations. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
