Winner of the Duff Cooper Prize, King Leopold's Ghost is the true and haunting account of Leopold's brutal regime and its lasting effect on a ruined nation. With an introduction by award-winning novelist Barbara Kingsolver • In the late nineteenth century, when the great powers in Europe were tearing Africa apart and seizing ownership of land for themselves, King Leopold of Belgium took hold of the vast and mostly unexplored territory surrounding the Congo River.

«Я не могу припомнить, чтобы мы когда-либо говорили о чем-то кроме угрей и о том, как их лучше ловить там, у ручья. На самом деле, я вообще не помню, чтобы мы разговаривали. Может быть, потому, что мы никогда этого не делали» • Европейский угорь Anguilla anguilla — одно из самых странных существ, созданных природой. Даже сегодня об угре известно удивительно мало.

По прибытии он превращается в стеклянного угря, а затем в желтого угря, прежде чем подняться в пресную воду. Он живет уединенной жизнью, скрываясь от света и, следовательно, от науки, в течение десяти, двадцати, пятидесяти лет, а затем осенью мигрирует обратно в море, превращается в серебряного угря и плывет обратно в Саргассово море, где дает потомство и умирает
