Stanley is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book chronicles Stanley's exploration and the relief expedition aimed at rescuing Emin Pasha, who was isolated during a tumultuous period in Sudan. The narrative not only focuses on the perilous journey through Africa but also touches upon the broader political and social contexts that influenced the events surrounding the Soudan. At the start of the narrative, Stanley reflects on the historical calamities associated with British involvement in Egypt and the Soudan, setting the scene for the dire circumstances faced by those like Emin Pasha. He offers insight into the socio-political turmoil that preceded his expedition, including the rise of the Mahdi and the failures of the Egyptian government. Stanley outlines the motivations behind the relief expedition and provides background on Emin Pasha, detailing his loyal governance in Equatoria and the dire straits he faced as communication lines with the outside world were severed. The beginning establishes the urgency and gravity of the mission, as Stanley prepares both himself and his potential audience for the journey and challenges ahead.
