Description

Remote People is a humorous travelogue that recounts Evelyn Waugh's experiences in Africa during the 1930s. The book begins with a vivid account of the coronation of Emperor Ras Tafari, followed by stories of the author's encounters with eccentric expatriates, settlers, and dignitaries.

As Waugh navigates the complexities of African culture, he also shares three personal 'nightmares' that capture the frustrations of travel, including the challenges of returning home.
