The book details Livingstone's expedition to uncharted territories in Africa, focusing on the exploration of the Zambesi River and its tributaries, as well as the impact of European expansion on local societies, particularly concerning the slave trade. The opening of the text sets the stage for Livingstone’s ambitious journey, laying out the purpose of the expedition, which includes the discovery of lakes Shirwa and Nyassa, and the awareness of the brutal realities of the slave trade. We are introduced to the key figures involved in the expedition, the logistical preparations made for exploring the Zambesi River, and the underlying humanitarian goals that drive Livingstone's mission. The initial chapters also describe the landscape and biodiversity they encountered as well as the conflict arising from the Portuguese slave trade, foreshadowing the challenges Livingstone and his companions would face on their journey.
