Sobre IBD

The Mission follows the adventures of three English brothers who travel to southern Africa as missionaries. As they navigate the challenges of life in a foreign and untamed land, they encounter dangerous wildlife, unfamiliar cultures, and moral dilemmas. Through their journey, Marryat explores themes of faith, colonialism, and survival, creating a vivid adventure story set against the backdrop of Africa’s vast wilderness.Captain Frederick Marryat (1792-1848) was a pioneer of the sea story. 'Jacob Faithful,' the tale of a boy born and rasied on a river-barge on the Thames, gives a picture of life in London and on the river in the early 19th century. [Facsimile reprint.]
