1795 bricht der junge schottische Arzt Mungo Park in offizieller Mission auf, um das weitgehend unbekannte, unerschlossene, wilde Innere Afrikas weiter zu erforschen. Angezogen vom gewaltigen Strom Niger und dem legendären Timbuktu, der »Königin der Wüste«, dringt er tief in den »dunklen Kontinent« vor. Vier vorherige Expeditionen waren bereits gescheitert, sein direkter Vorgänger war unterwegs ermordet worden. Parks Rückkehr am Weihnachtstag 1797 ist eine Sensation, seine Berichte machen ihn berühmt. Doch Park ruht sich auf seinem Ruhm nicht aus, er kommt in der Heimat nicht zur Ruhe, denn er ist dem Zauber Afrikas verfallen. Ermutigt durch den Erfolg seiner ersten Expedition unternimmt er 1805 entgegen vieler Warnungen eine zweite Reise. Diesmal gelangen nur seine Tagebücher zurück in die Heimat - er selbst bleibt in den Weiten Afrikas verschollen. Bei heutigen Reisen ins innerste Afrika ist aufgrund der politischen Lage oft noch Vorsicht geboten, trotzdem werden touristische Niger-Flussexpeditionen auf den Spuren Parks angeboten. In seinen lebendigen, eindrücklichen Schilderungen ist es möglich, sich lesend sicher dort zu verlieren, wo Mungo Park selbst verloren ging: auf der Lebensader Niger, im Herzen Afrikas.

Mungo Park (1771-1806) was a Scottish surgeon and explorer. Encouraged by Sir Joseph Banks, he was sent by the African Association, in 1795, to explore the interior of Africa, forbidden to western traders. He is believed to have been the first European to reach the River Niger. His return was delayed by imprisonment and illness, and he did not arrive back in Scotland until December 1797, having been thought dead. He later went on a second expedition to Africa, and died there in 1806. This account of his earlier travels, published in 1799, was an immediate best-seller, with three editions in the first year. Park presents a straightforward account of his journey, together with observations about daily life in West Africa, with none of the arrogant superiority so often expressed by European travellers. The book includes a vocabulary of Mandinka words, plates and maps, and a geographical appendix.
