Robin Furneaux Knihy

Kniha je historií velké řeky od dob, kdy na jihoamerické pevnině přistáli španělští a portugalští dobyvatelé, historií jejich obyvatetů, kteří vydávali do pralesa v jejím povodí .

Focusing on William Wilberforce's remarkable advocacy, the book highlights his pivotal role in abolishing the Slave Trade and securing freedom for slaves. Starting his activism in his twenties, he dedicated nearly fifty years in Parliament to various social causes, guided solely by his conscience. His influence extended beyond politics, as he interacted with prominent figures of his time, including monarchs and influential leaders. Wilberforce's life and work significantly shaped the transition between the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
