Sobre IBD

We now have a unique opportunity to examine how novelist Charles Beadle portrayed the African sleeping sickness epidemic: first in a work of literature, A Whiteman’s Burden, and then in a mass-market form of genre fiction, The Lost Cure. In both these works, the devastation of the pandemic that claimed hundreds of thousands of lives is etched with vivid, moving poignancy. The Lost Cure is featured in Adventure magazine’s 30 January 1923 issue but has never before been published in book form. As always, Beadle’s work resonates with a potent authenticity, because it’s deeply grounded in actual experience. A courageous explorer and innovative writer, he spent a dozen years in Africa between 1898 and 1910, building a treasure trove of memories and existential observations that would later nourish his stories, essays, and novels.

  • A Passionate Pilgrimage. Edited with an Introduction and Afterword by Rob Couteau
    Charles Beadle
    In 1915, Charles Beadle had the honor of creating a banned literary novel, A Passionate Pilgrimage, one of ten books blacklisted between 1914 and 1916 by Britain’s Circulating Libraries Association. By today’s standards, there’s nothing lewd, graphic, or obscene in this largely autobiographical confession. But for the Britain of 1915, Beadle’s carefree portrayal of casual sensu...

The round mud huts of the askaris were like two columns of khaki troops marching rigidly on each side of the parade ground. To the north, upon a slight rise of ground, were the white men’s quarters; the non-commissioned officers had four bungalo...
