About this book
In an era marked by the fervor of exploration and the quest for natural resources, "The Blind Lion of the Congo" by Elliott Whitney delves into the complexities of colonial ambition and human resilience. This gripping novel follows young Burton St. John as he embarks on a perilous journey to the heart of Africa, driven by the allure of ivory hunting alongside his intrepid uncle, George William Wallace. As Burton navigates the treacherous landscape, he encounters the stark realities of exploitation and the moral dilemmas faced by those who seek fortune in foreign lands. Ideal for students and civic activists, this tale challenges readers to confront the duality of adventure and ethical responsibility in the age of imperialism.
