| Summary | "The Country of the Dwarfs" by Paul B. Du Chaillu is a travel narrative written in the late 19th century. The book chronicles the author's adventurous expedition through Africa as he seeks to explore the land inhabited by the mysterious "Dwarfs" or Pygmies. With his background as an explorer and naturalist, Du Chaillu's account promises rigorous observations of the cultures and environments he encounters." "At the start of the narrative, Paul Du Chaillu prepares for an ambitious journey to Africa aboard his schooner, the Mentor, with Captain Vardon. The section details his meticulous packing of supplies and equipment, including clothes for five years, scientific instruments, and presents for local tribes. Following a successful voyage, Du Chaillu arrives at the Commi country, where he reunites with old friends and navigates the changes that have occurred in his absence, setting the stage for his explorations into the interior where he aims to meet the Dwarfs."
