Descrizione libro Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. In 1623 Richard Jobson published an account of a 1620-1621 English voyage up River Gambra, during which a party, led by himself, penetrated to a point some 460 miles up-river. The purpose of the voyage was to make contact with the gold trade of the West African interior, but in this there was little success. However, Jobsons account of the river, its commerce, natural history, peoples, religions and polities, was the earliest to appear in print, in this fullness of detail, in any language. It was also the earliest detailed account of any part of Black Africa, by an Englishman. Jobsons account, almost entirely original, has special interest in its authors observations on the African scene, particularly those on the African peoples and individuals encountered. Jobson discusses such topics as local agriculture and trade, the role of Islam, political culture, and the position of women. Despite the limits of his experience, his observations are seemingly accurate and generally perceptive, as well as being (perhaps unexpectedly) often tolerant and even sympathetic. A volume of three writings by Richard Jobson: "The Golden Triangle or a discovery of the River Gambra"; "The discovery of Gambra in the Sion"; "Discovery of the Country of King Solomon"; and extracts from other early sources.
