Henry Morton Stanley (1841–1904), the Welsh-born explorer famous for his 1871 meeting with the missionary David Livingstone, published this intimate autobiography in 1909. Through his recollections we learn how his troubled early life - an impoverished childhood in a workhouse and some harrowing experiences as a young soldier - were what drove him to succeed as an explorer, and gave him the strength to deal with the sometimes vehement opposition he encountered. Although Stanley died before finishing this book, his wife Dorothy brought it to completion by compiling and editing the letters and memoirs he wrote during his travels, so that his avowed aim - to encourage impoverished young people to realise their ambitions - was met. This is the story of a man who, in the context of his own time, achieved 'greatness' against the odds, though his imperialist and allegedly racist views later caused the eclipse of his reputation.

David Livingstone und Henry Morton Stanley - Lebenslauf, Persönlichkeit und Forscherdasein
Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2010 im Fachbereich Geschichte - Allgemeines, Note: 1,7, Universit t Erfurt, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: 1. Einleitung "Dr. Livingstone, I presume."/ "Doktor Livingstone, wie ich vermute." Diese Begr ungsworte, die Henry Morton Stanley an David Livingstone richtet, als er ihn endlich findet, gehen in die Geschichte ein. Er wird von Reisenden, die sich in Afrika zuf llig begegnen oftmals bei der Begr ung wiederholt. Beide, der gesuchte und gefunde Livingstone und der suchende und findende Stanley waren zwei der bedeutendsten Erforscher Innerafrikas. Viele Schriftsteller, die Zeitgenossen von Henry Morton Stanley und David Livingstone waren, lassen sich von ihren Entdeckergeschichten und Expeditionsberichten inspirieren. Zum Beispiel Joseph Conrad, der sich nicht nur von der Suche Stanleys nach Livingstone, sondern auch der Befreiung Emin Pashas durch Stanley anregen lie . Er schickt in seinem Roman "Herz der Finsternis" einen Seemann auf die Suche nach einem verschollenen Abenteurer, der sp ter in der Wildnis sterben wird. Dieses Thema wird in vielen Literaturen sp ter immer wieder aufgegriffen. Doch wer waren die beiden Personen hinter dem Ruhm und der Rolle der Helden in der ffentlichkeit? Welche Motivation und Intentionen hatten sie bei der Ausf hrung ihrer Missionen? Diese und andere Fragen sollen in der folgenden Arbeit behandelt werden. Dazu sollen zun chst die Charaktere von David Livingstone und Henry Morton Stanley skizziert werden. Im Einzelnen sollen ihre Herkunft, ihre Kindheit, ihre Ausbildung und vor allem ihre Charaktereigenschaften und ihr u erliches Auftreten behandelt werden. Der dritte Punkt soll sich explizit auf ihren Umgang mit Sklaven und der Sklaverei im Allgemeinen befassen. Wie gingen die beiden jeweils mit ihren Dienern um? Welche Meinungen hegten sie ber die "Schwarzen"? Der vierte Punkt soll schlie lich die Durchf hrung ihrer Missionen betrachten. Dazu z hlt auch der Umgang w hrend der Reisen mit anderen
