Emin Pasha and the Rebellion at the Equator. A Story of Nine Months’ Experiences in the Last of the Soudan Provinces.

1890 AUTHOR'S INSCRIPTION Emin Pasha African Exploration Sudan Rebellion Stanley

"Emin Pasha and the Rebellion at the Equator" is a compelling work of historical narration authored by Arthur Jermy Mounteney-Jephson, with the cooperation and revisions of Henry Morton Stanley. The book is a vivid recounting of Jephson's nine-month journey within the last provinces of the Sudan, a period characterized by rebellion, hardship, and unrelenting resilience.

Mounteney-Jephson, following his return from Africa, chose to share his intimate experiences with Emin Pasha in the Equatorial Province, in response to persistent requests from friends and contemporaries. The book bridges a critical gap in the expedition's chronicle, offering unparalleled insights into the province, its people, and the intricacies of its governance. Mounteney-Jephson's tale unfolds the reality of Emin Pasha, the province's governor, countering his idealized image in Europe. Despite his reputation as a resistance hero, Emin Pasha's leadership revealed indecisiveness and weakness, as observed during Mounteney-Jephson's extended stay. The book, a mix of adventure, politics, and human resilience, provides a nuanced view of a unique era in African history.
