Ein letztes Mal in Afrika

Ten years after his first major trip to the "Kingdom of Light", Paul Theroux returns to his beloved Africa - and finds a ruined paradise. He plans to travel from Cape Town through Namibia and Angola to Timbuktu, but with each mile northward, the misery, corruption, and his struggle with 21st-century developments and aid efforts become more daunting. For all the beauty he recounts with warmth, he cuts short his journey into the heart of darkness and returns to South Africa. His book tells of a continent in decline, of a sensitive man and of his shocks. Intense, controversial and stirring.
