In 'Ninety-Two Days', Evelyn Waugh narrates his journey to British Guiana. Two years after covering the coronation of the Emperor of Ethiopia for 'The Times', Waugh ventures into South America. With his characteristic ironic style, he describes his journey on foot and horseback through exotic lands, crossing rivers, savannas, and jungles, visiting missionaries, and negotiating with indigenous people and mestizos. This account offers a fascinating view of British Guiana through the eyes of a perceptive and observant traveler.
