| Summary | "Il fiume Bianco e i Dénka: Memorie" by G. Beltrame is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work narrates the author's experiences and observations during his missionary journeys and explorations in Central Africa, particularly along the White Nile and the Dénka tribes. It highlights both the natural landscape and the cultural practices of the people he encountered, reflecting a blend of adventure and ethnographic study. The opening of the text introduces the author's passion for Africa, which he has nurtured since his youth, and outlines his early travels to the region. It describes his encounters with local peoples, including the Dénka, as he expresses both admiration for their culture and a desire to convert them to Christianity. Notably, Beltrame recalls his journey along the White Nile, detailing the lush landscapes and rich biodiversity he observed, as well as the complexities of the Arab and Dénka interrelations. Through his reflections, he sets the scene for a deeper exploration of the region's customs, languages, and challenges faced by both missionaries and indigenous tribes.
