First Tour

Peter Forbes is twenty-three when he arrives in tropical Africa to join a survey party of the Topographic Surveys Directorate. His task is a physically demanding one, through equatorial rainforest to high mountains and grassy plateaux. Along the way he learns much about himself, and acquires a lasting love for the Dark Continent and its people.

Peter Forbes are douazeci si trei de ani cand ajunge in Africa tropicala pentru a se alatura unui grup de ancheta al Directiei Topografice. Sarcina sa este una solicitanta fizic, prin padure ecuatoriala plina de munti inalti si platouri ierboase.
