The Mission Or Scenes In Africa (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781419174292)

""The Mission or Scenes in Africa"" is a novel written by Captain Frederick Marryat. The book is set in Africa and tells the story of a group of British missionaries who travel to the continent to spread Christianity. The novel is divided into several chapters, each of which describes a different aspect of life in Africa. The book is filled with vivid descriptions of the landscape, culture, and people of Africa, as well as the challenges faced by the missionaries as they attempt to convert the local population. The novel is also filled with adventure, as the missionaries encounter dangerous animals, hostile tribes, and other obstacles on their journey. Ultimately, ""The Mission or Scenes in Africa"" is a powerful portrayal of the clash between European and African cultures, and the difficulties of trying to impose one's beliefs on another culture.""You must not be surprised at the off-hand and unceremonious way we have in the colonies. People meeting abroad, even Englishmen occasionally, throw aside much ceremony. I mention this, because Major Henderson intends to call this afternoon, and propose joining our party into the interior. I do not know much of him, but I have heard much said in his favour, and it is easy to see by his manners and address that he is a gentleman. Of course, when he stated his intention, I could do nothing but refer him to you, which I did. What do you think, Wilmot?""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
