A travelogue by Graham Greene, about a 350-mile, four-week walk through the interior of Liberia in 1935. It was Greene's first trip outside of Europe. He hoped to leave civilization and find Africa's "heart of darkness" in the as-yet unmapped interior of Liberia. Relying on local guides and a chain of porters, Greene and his cousin set off from Kailahun, Sierra Leone and travelled south-easterly through the jungle highlands and across the headwaters of several rivers. He crossed through a section of French Guinea, going between the Liberian towns of Zorzor and Ganta, before turning south-west and arriving at the coast at Grand Bassa from where he traveled by sea to Monrovia.
