Enjoy this audiobook with MP3 Audiobook Player - the ultimate iOS audiobook experience
At the end of the 19th century, when the European powers divided Africa for themselves, King Leopold of Belgium carried out a brutal sacking of the territory surrounding the Congo river that provoked the death of over 10 million Africans. A rich and perturbing story, it describes a megalomaniac of monstrous proportions. It is also the moving portrait of African rebels who did not kneel and a handful of valiant missionaries and explorers who traveled to Africa in search of adventure and instead became witnesses to a genocide.El fantasma del rey Leopoldo relata como a finales del siglo XIX, cuando las potencias europeas se repartían África a golpe de escuadra, el rey Leopoldo II de Bélgica llevó a cabo un brutal saqueo del territorio que rodeaba el río Congo. Provocó la muerte de diez millones de personas mientras cultivaba, irónicamente, su fama de monarca humanitario. El fantasma del rey Leopoldo es un relato rico y perturbador: es la descripción de un megalómano de proporciones monstruosas; y es también el retrato conmovedor de quienes desafiaron a Leopoldo, los dirigentes rebeldes africanos que lucharon a la desesperada y un puñado de valientes misioneros, viajeros y jóvenes idealistas que fueron a África en busca de trabajo o aventura y que acabaron siendo testigos de un genocidio.
