Summary "King Mombo" by Paul B. Du Chaillu is an adventurous narrative written in the early 20th century. The book chronicles the travels and experiences of the author in Africa, particularly highlighting the interactions with the various tribes and the local rulers, focusing on the titular character, King Mombo. At the start of the book, Du Chaillu prepares to leave New York by a small schooner headed for the West Coast of Africa. He describes the cramped conditions aboard the ship and his reflections on the vast Atlantic Ocean. As he sails away from land, he is filled with both excitement and trepidation about what lies ahead—a journey filled with unknowns, including the indigenous tribes, wildlife, and the dense African forest he is eager to explore. The narrative sets a tone of exploration, wonder, and the inherent challenges of venturing into uncharted territories as he approaches King Mombo's village, highlighting the sense of adventure and encounters with nature that are central to the story.
