The Last Train to Zona Verde is Paul Theroux's compelling account of his final African journey. Heading north from Cape Town, through South Africa, Namibia, Botswana and Angola, Paul Theroux makes a final journey along Africa's western edge. The end of the line is the Congo but Theroux discovers that his trip's pleasures are tempered by a growing sense that the Africa which so long ago helped form him has vanished, along with the hopes of many of its people. Yet after 2,500 miles Theroux finds that though this will be his ultimate African adventure there are still surprises to be found by the traveller prepared to step off the beaten track. "A melancholic, farewell journey...Theroux does all this inimitably, and more, getting better the more detours he takes". (Evening Standard). "Hard to put down, brutal honesty. Theroux proves himself a sharp observer of human foibles and a master of pithy description. The book he has crafted out of his experiences packs plenty of bang". (Spectator). "As we worry about the future of the continent, there could be no better guide than Theroux ...his sense that this is his final journey adds to the power". (GQ). "Excellent, barbed reportage". (Independent). "Probably the most important travel writer of his generation". (Sunday Times). Paul Theroux's books include Dark Star Safari, Ghost Train to the Eastern Star, Riding the Iron Rooster, The Great Railway Bazaar, The Elephanta Suite, A Dead Hand, The Tao of Travel and The Lower River. The Mosquito Coast and Dr Slaughter have both been made into successful films. Paul Theroux divides his time between Cape Cod and the Hawaiian islands.

Guinea Ecuatorial, situada en la fachada atlántica de África Central, alberga, pese a su pequeño tamaño, una de las mayores riquezas naturales del mundo. Los territorios continentales e insulares que la componen, cubiertos en su mayor parte por bosques tropicales humedos, ofrecen un enorme interes cientifico para el estudio de la biodiversidad, los ecosistemas y la historia evolutiva de esta region del planeta, y para apreciar y tratar de desentrañar el entramado de relaciones que forman el arbol de la vida. Fruto de la estrecha y larga colaboracion entre cientificos ecuatoguineanos y españoles, resultado tambien de los vinculos historicos que existen entre los dos paises, este volumen sintetiza, de una manera accesible y rigurosa, diferentes aspectos de la historia natural de Guinea Ecuatorial: su geologia, vegetacion, fauna y evolucion biocultural humana. Una vision holistica desde la que tambien se pone de relieve la necesidad de buscar un equilibrio armonico entre la preservacion y la explotacion razonable de los recursos naturales.

Tanzania es el país de África Oriental, junto con Kenia, que más atractivos ofrece, tanto a los viajeros individuales como a los numerosos grupos organizados que visitan el país guiados por los turoperadores. La antigua Tanganica es hoy uno de los grandes destinos del planeta donde observar la fauna africana en todo su esplendor en sus numerosos parques y reservas nacionales. Un safari en enclaves naturales como el cráter del Ngorongoro o el parque Serengeti asegura la posibilidad de volver a casa con recuerdos en la retina o en la cámara de los Big Five, los cinco titanes de la fauna africana: el león, el elefante, el búfalo, el rinoceronte y hasta el esquivo leopardo, además de incontables cebras, ñus, antílopes, jirafas y aves exóticas. Y para rematar el viaje después de un agotador recorrido por la sabana, nada mejor que reposar unos días en la mágica isla de Zanzíbar, dueña de una cultura propia: la suajili, mezcla de la idiosincrasia africana y la árabe y persa, y agraciada con extensas playas de fina arena blanca
