«Viaje a Sierra Leona en la Costa de África» is John Matthews's travel account, published by Espasa in 2004 in paperback (155 pages, in Spanish).
John Matthews, an English officer, travelled along the coast of Sierra Leone in the eighteenth century and gathered his testimony in eight letters. He describes the landscape, vegetation, animals, and the customs and beliefs of its inhabitants. He combines the explorer's observation with geography, biology, ethnology, and ethnography.
The book was originally published in English as A Voyage to the River Sierra-Leone, on the Coast of Africa. It includes a prologue by Juan Eslava Galán and belongs to the Relecturas Viajes collection.
For readers of travel literature and exploration history, especially those interested in eighteenth-century West Africa.
John Matthews and Caitlín Matthews are English writers. Together, they have written over 150 books and translated into more than thirty languages. Their work also includes Tarot decks, a card-based storytelling system, screenplays, and songs.
