[AFRICA] BELLOTTI, Felice [Trans: SAVILL, Mervyn]

Fabulous Congo

London: Andrew Dakers Ltd., n.d. [1950]. First U.K. Edition. Octavo. 24cm. Publisher's green cloth titled in gilt to spine. Dustjacket. 221pp. Light wear and scuffing to corners and spine ends, sunning to extremities, strong and tight; internally clean, bookplate to verso of front flyleaf, illustrated throughout; in a clean photographic dustkacket with some wear and shallow fraying to the extremities, and a little soiling in places. A very good copy.

A detailed and interesting anthropological study of the various peoples and tribes which make up the region we refer to as "The Congo." Necessarily presented in a rather sensationalist and at times less than respectful way, it nevertheless embarks upon a journey of research and scholarship and completes it creditably; doing away with a number of preconceived beliefs about the region and contributing to the body of contemporary knowledge.
