Equator Crossings: Travelogue Extraordinary is set against a backdrop of nineteenth-century Africa, Zanzibar, Europe and Oman. An upstage American press magnate's single three-letter-word telegram to his British competitor leads Henry Morton Stanley to 999 gruelling days of exploration in a quest to discover and define the watersheds of Africa's two gigantic rivers, the Nile and the Congo. This geographical and scientific feat, that drastically changed the economic and political history of the world, now provides an epic narrative of adventure, travel and romance.
Paul Huygelen's professional career has been mostly involved in international affairs, be it with the United Nations, a multinational corporation or a major Middle East financial institution. His thorough knowledge of East and Central Africa, through his extensive business trips in the region, helped him with the research fo rhis book. In the framework of his career, Paul Huygelen has written scores of business reports and articles in various specialized publications. Equator Crossings: Travelogue Extraordinary is, however, his first novel. Paul Huygelen holds a PhD from the University of London.
