Book Description
Excerpt from A Pathfinder in South Central Africa: A Story of Pioneer Missionary Work and Adventure There is no doubt that in recent years Africa has been gaining an increasingly prominent position, not only in the thought of the Christian Church, but also in the deliberations of European Parliaments, with the result that the political map of the 'Dark Continent' has undergone considerable modifications during the last few years. And when we consider the diversity of its products, the vastness of its mineral wealth, its wonderful possibilities of trade and commerce, we may safely predict that its importance will assuredly grow. The amazing variety of Africa's countless inhabitants is surprising. Here men may be found in every stage of development, from the cultured and refined Europeans of the coast towns, down to the dwarfs of the swamps and the pigmies of the Central forests. In every corner of that great land there are problems to be solved that will tax the faith and courage and resources of the wisest and best among us. European civilisation that for so many years has only fringed the 'Dark Continent,' is to-day rapidly penetrating it. And I venture to affirm that civilisation is necessary and inevitable for the African. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
" ""The Ila Speaking"" is a record of life in a Central African village around a century ago. It originated in conversations recorded by Methodist missionaries as they attempted to learn the language and customs of the Ila people. Over the years 1906 to 1966 they collected over 12000 items. What began as a vocabulary with examples ended as the self-portrait of a people and a way of life. The author worked with the Ila from 1958 to 1966, later producing a ""Dictionary of Ila Usage"" (LIT Verlag 2000). The present book is a series of extracts from the dictionary arranged by subject, with a commentary. It is the author's hope that `the voices come over loud and clear to you the reader, and that you come away from this book with a feel for Ila humour, Ila life, and Ila reflections on people and their ways. I did, and I am sure you will too' (Professor Graham Furniss, School of Oriental and African Studies - London). "
