| Description: |
`The Congo' is something of an enigma, not least because there are actually two Congos: the Republic of Congo and the Democratic? Republic of Congo. So, if one is planning to visit `the Congo', it is only sensible that one adopts the essential advice to `first choose your Congo'. This is what Brian and his wife did, and this is what happened. |
| Synopsis: |
`The Congo' is something of an enigma, not least because there are actually two Congos: the Republic of Congo and the Democratic? Republic of Congo. So, if one is planning to visit `the Congo', it is only sensible that one adopts the essential advice to `first choose your Congo'. This is what Brian and his wife did, choosing to travel to the Republic of Congo - the safer of the two. He secured a place on an expedition into the heart of the Congo rainforest, where marauding rebels and gun-toting thugs were nowhere to be found; only a pristine environment, extremely well-stocked with an extravagance of natural wonders. First Choose Your Congo is a work that shines an illuminating light into the rarely-visited dark heart of Africa, but it is also a work that is intended to be provocative, irreverent - and amusing. It is not a work dedicated entirely to the process of tracking Western lowland gorillas and the discovery of an Ayatollah monkey, but a somewhat `generous' interpretation of the travel genre. It is inexplicably the ninth book in David's seven-part travel series and, intriguingly, the first to reveal the connection between the Congo's forest elephants and Steven Spielberg's Jurassic Park. Previous books in David's `Brian's World' series have been featured in Backpacker Trade News and the Sunday Post. This hilarious take on traditional travel writing will appeal to those with an interest in different cultures. |
