This volume brings together extracts from the explorers’ diaries accompanied by a narrative situating the texts in geographical, historical and socio- political context. They complement the publication of some of McEwan’s earlier diaries, and are arguably the most important, dealing with the last portion of William McEwan’s life - his arrival in Malawi, his meeting with Swahili slave traders, and his experiments with photography. Finally, the writings document McEwan’s death as told by his companion Donald Munro.
