Beschreibung:
Michela Wrong has been a foreign correspondent since joining Reuters after University and has worked extensively in Africa for the BBC and has also worked for the Sunday Times. She now writes for the Financial Times.
A century after Conrad's "Heart Of Darkness", Michela Wrong visits the Congo during the turbulent reign of Mobuto Sese Seko. A story of dark comedy and social turmoil, which is a testament to the strength of the human spirit in a country gone mad. 16pp b/w illus.
A story of grim comedy amid the apocalypse and a celebration of the sheer indestructibility of the human spirit in a nation run riot: Michela Wrong's vision of Congo/Zaire during the Mobutu years is incisive, ironic and revelatory.
