"Cinq années au Congo" de Henry M.Stanley. Une étude bibliophilique
Abstract
L'histoire des différentes éditions du The Congo and the Founding of its Free State est fort complexe. C'est aussi le seul texte du grand explorateur à être traduit en français par un Belge Gérard Harry (1856-1931), à être imprimé en Belgique et à paraître à Bruxelles. Les auteurs étudient ici ni le contenu ni l'illustration de l'édition en langue française de l'ouvrage de Stanley, mais se limitent à sa description matérielle. Préalablement, ils donnent un bref aperçu des circonstances historiques dans lesquelles il fut rédigé. Outre l'édition en langue originale, ils ont repéré les traductions française, allemande, espagnole, italienne, suédoise, danoise et néerlandaise. La parution en français de ce livre se caractérise par le fait qu'il en existe quatre émissions.
