Hakluyt blue cloth with bright gilt decoration and spine printing; dust-jackets unclipped, mildly rubbed at edges. This is a rather unusual Hakluyt publication, with over 100 pages of informed historical background written by the clearly dedicated editors - of great interest to those interested in the Sudan and Nilotic peoples. It appears from the synopsis given below that it was to great extent due to the editors that Schuver's valuable writings were not lost. cvii+ 392 incl appendices, bibliography and index + 18pls. Further photographs on request. The following synopsis is taken from the dustwrapper fold-down: "Juan Maria Schuver was born to a wealthy Amsterdam business family in the mid-nineteenth century. Established young as a travel writer and reporter, he decided to embark on scientific exploration. Leaving Cairo at the turn of 1880-1881 he proceeded up the Blue Nile, intending to find a new route through to the East African coast. This ambition was frustrated, mainly because of local political turbulence following the Mahdist challenge to the Sudanese government and internal stirrings in Abyssinia. As a result, Schuver remained for the better part of two years in the hills of the upper Blue Nile and the eastern watershed of the White Nile basin. He wrote lively accounts of these regions and his encounters with local people. He had to return to Khartoum at the end of 1882, but took a steamer up the White Nile in the middle of 1883. Somewhat impatiently, he ignored advice not to travel further southwards overland, and was murdered, a few days into western Dinka country. Schuver had planned books both in English and French on his explorations in the country 'Between Two Niles' The only version which saw publication was an edited German translation, prepared by Petermann's Mitteilungen as a special issue in 1883. A combination of chance, the present editors' interest in the region, and the collaboration of the Schuver family led to the re-discovery of the original manuscripts. The present volume offers the full English accounts supplemented by passages from the author's French revision, and also draws on other drafts and letters, to give for the first time a full picture of Schuver's African travels.".…
