| Summary | "Como eu atravessei Àfrica do Atlantico ao mar Indico, volume primeiro" by Serpa Pinto is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work documents the author's extensive travel and exploration journey across Africa, particularly from Benguella to the Indian Ocean. It combines personal narrative elements with geographical and ethnographic observations, reflecting both the challenges and the varied cultures encountered during the expedition. The opening of the narrative introduces Serpa Pinto's gratitude towards individuals and institutions that supported his journey. He dedicates the book to King D. Luiz I of Portugal, expressing thanks for the financial resources allocated for the expedition and recounting the vital assistance received from various figures in the Portuguese government, geographic societies, and friends. The initial chapters outline the preparations for the journey, the challenges of securing carriers for the expedition, and the author's interactions with significant figures such as the explorer Stanley, all while emphasizing the vast difficulties faced when exploring the uncharted territories of Africa.
