Twelve Years in Ethiopia: Book 2 (Discoveries)

In this second installment of D'Abbadie's memoir of exploration in Ethiopia, our adventurous French missionary travels from the imperial capital of Gondar further upcountry, encountering the Ras (emperor) and several princes and vassals of the realm. He witnesses the aftermath of a bloody conflict with a rebellious army, enjoys the lavish hospitality of friendly hosts, contemplates the relations between Muslims and Christians in Africa and Europe, traces the routes of the Scottish explorer Jacques Bruce and the Spanish missionary Pedro Paez, and discovers the sources of the Abbaie, one of the main headwaters of the mighty Nile. Book Two is the latest installment of this fascinating adventure, heretofore unknown in the English language.
