📔 Two Trips to Gorilla Land and the Cataracts of the Congo

by Richard Francis Burton

Quotes from this book

The Isángú, or Ingwánba, the craving felt after a short abstinence from animal food, does not spare the white traveller more than it does his dark guides; and, though the moral courage of the former may resist the "gastronomic practice" of breaking fast upon a fat young slave, one does not expect so much from the untutored appetite of the noble savage.
