Stolz auf seine Provinz und im Vertrauen auf die Treue seiner Unterthanen, bat er Herrn Stanley, einen seiner Offiziere bei ihm zurückzulassen, damit dieser ihm helfe, die Leute auf den Marsch nach der Küste [.] vorzubereiten [.]. Herr Stanley wählte mich und ließ mich bei Emin zurück, während er selbst nach Jambuja zurückkehrte, um die Nachhut zu holen. Ich war noch nicht lange in der Provinz gewesen, als ich Dinge zu sehen begann, welche mich sehr überraschten und die ich nur beklagen konnte. Auf Disciplin [.] wurde nicht nachdrücklich gehalten, da die Leute Emin's seine Befehle offen besprachen und bekrittelten. [.] Ich möchte nicht über Emin urtheilen und habe von seinem Mangel an Festigkeit nicht mehr gesagt, als ich zum Verständniß der Darstellung für absolut notwendig halte. Mir gegenüber ist er stets liebenswürdig gewesen [.]. [.] Emin ist ein ausgezeichneter Gelehrter [.]. Die wissenschaftlichen Arbeiten waren es, die sein höchstes Interesse in Anspruch nahmen und ihn mitunter veranlaßten, die Pflichten seiner Stellung hintanzusetzen." (p. XI ff.). -- "After a career in the military, Arthur Jermy Mounteney Jephson (1858-1908) became an adventurer and African explorer, and most notably took part in the ill-fated Emin Pasha Relief Expedition of 1886 to 1889 headed by Henry Morton Stanley. Emin Pasha was the German-born Governor of southern Sudan's province of Equatoria. A private relief mission was proposed to 'rescue' Emin Pasha after losing contact following revolts in the province. The expedition went up the Congo River, taking an extremely challenging route. This resulted in the group suffering severe losses due to disease and hunger and once Emin Pasha was found, it transpired that he did not wish to be rescued at all. After being held prisoner by rebel officers for several months, Arthur eventually escaped and he returned to England in 1890. Although there was initial recognition for the mission, criticism developed as the true human cost of the trip became clear. After his return, he wrote two books about his experience, he was awarded a medal by the Royal Geographical Society of London and he became a queen's messenger in 1895. Arthur died aged 50 [.] in 1908 [.]. He was a member of the notable Jephson family of Cork, Ireland" (berkshirerecordoffice org uk: Posted in This months highlight on 23 Jul 2021, online). -- NETTOGEWICHT / Net weight / Poids: 1.2 kg - VERSANDKATEGORIE / Weight category / Poids brut 2 kg - Sprache: de

An engrossing account of Mounteney-Jephsons travels and harrowing experiences in the Equatorial Province from 1888-89 with Emin Pasha. He recounts in riveting detail the harsh and unfair treatment he received while in Emins territory and indeed of his long imprisonment there. His book revealed an unknown side of the governors leadership style in Africa, one which was weak and ineffective. "It was not until I had witnessed many deplorable examples of his weakness and vacillation that I began to lose faith in his judgment, and it was not until afterwards, when I had conversed frequently with his people and himself about things in his province, and the repulse of the Mahdis forces four years before, that I found out that Emin had only told part of the story."-Preface. Mounteney-Jephson was actually sent on the mission to Emin Pasha by Henry Stanley who wrote the Prefatory Letter and also revised and collaborated on the writing of this book. An important narrative of early English governing in Equatorial Africa.

Description: 1890 AUTHOR S INSCRIPTION Emin Pasha African Exploration Sudan Rebellion Stanley Emin Pasha and the Rebellion at the Equator is a compelling work of historical narration authored by Arthur Jermy Mounteney-Jephson, with the cooperation and revisions of Henry Morton Stanley. The book is a vivid recounting of Jephsons nine-month journey within the last provinces of the Sudan, a period characterized by rebellion, hardship, and unrelenting resilience. Mounteney-Jephson, following his return from Africa, chose to share his intimate experiences with Emin Pasha in the Equatorial Province, in response to persistent requests from friends and contemporaries. The book bridges a critical gap in the expeditions chronicle, offering unparalleled insights into the province, its people, and the intricacies of its governance. Mounteney-Jephsons tale unfolds the reality of Emin Pasha, the provinces governor, countering his idealized image in Europe. Despite his reputation as a resistance hero, Emin Pashas leadership revealed indecisiveness and weakness, as observed during Mounteney-Jephsons extended stay. The book, a mix of adventure, politics, and human resilience, provides a nuanced view of a unique era in African history. This specific copy includes the authors inscription!
