Henry Morton Stanley is arguably Britain’s greatest land explorer of all time. His character though, is held in an entirely different regard
- today he is remembered as a cruel imperialist in Africa, & as an American journalist who said: “ Dr Livingstone, I presume?”. In this compelling biography, Tim Jeal reveals the truth about Stanley & shows how the Welsh-born workhouse boy has been misrepresented in previous accounts of his life. Drawing on thousands of new documents, Jeal vividly recreates the drama, suffering & courage of Stanley’s three great journeys that solved the mystery of the sources of the Nile & the Congo. Through this superb tome Jeal movingly unveils a figure far more tragic, generous-hearted & chameleon-like than had ever been suspected.

Sir Henry Morton Stanley, greatest of African explorers, was one of the most fascinating late Victorian adventurers. Born into poverty & illegitimacy, he survived a series of incredible adventures at sea & in the USA to emerge as a journalist of talent after the American Civil War. His coverage of the British Ethiopian expedition to chastise Emperor Theodore brought him to the attention of James Gordon Bennett who commissioned him to find David Livingstone in Africa, the greatest single feat in African exploration. Yet behind the public man lay a disturbed personality. A pathological liar with sadomasochistic tendencies, Stanley's achievements exacted a high human cost. As Frank Mc Lynn's masterly study shows, his foundation of the Congo Free State on behalf of Leopold II of Belgium, & the Emin Pasha Relief Expedition were both dubious enterprises which tarnished his reputation, revealing the complex
- & often troubling
- relationship that Stanley had with Africa.

This intimate portrait by his former personal assistant & confidante reveals the man behind the legendary filmmaker--for the first time. Stanley Kubrick, the director of a string of timeless movies from Lolita & Dr. Strangelove to A Clockwork Orange, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Full Metal Jacket, & others, has always been depicted by the media as the Howard Hughes of filmmakers, a weird artist obsessed with his work & privacy to the point of madness. But who was he really? Emilio D` Alessandro lets us see. A former Formula Ford driver who was a minicab chauffeur in London during the Swinging Sixties, he took a job driving a giant phallus through the city that became his introduction to the director. Honest, reliable, & ready to take on any task, Emilio found his way into Kubrick`s neurotic, obsessive heart. He became his personal assistant, his right-hand man & confidant, working for him from A Clockwork Orange until Kubrick`s death in 1999. Emilio was the silent guy in the room when the script for The Shining was discussed. He still has the coat Jack Nicholson used in the movie. He was an extra on the set of Eyes Wide Shut, Kubrick`s last movie. He knew all the actors & producers Kubrick worked with; he observed firsthand Kubrick`s working methods down to the smallest detail. Making no claim of expertise in cinematography but with plenty of anecdotes, he offers a completely fresh perspective on the artist & a warm, affecting portrait of a generous, kind, caring man who was a perfectionist in work & life. ...
