From Publishers Weekly Fanfani, vice-president of the International Red Cross-Red Crescent and the wife of a former prime minister of Italy, organized the Ship of Peace which left Italy carrying supplies, tools and water to drought-plagued Africa in 1985. This journal parallels the ship's log of the often hazardous journey. At each port of call there is so much evidence of suffering that Fan fani writes in her diary, "Misery is a monotonous spectacle." As she records touching episodes in which the joy of giving is reflected in the receivers' eyes and words, she also notes the great topographical contrasts between lush southern Africa and the famine-decimated north. The journal ends with the mercy mission completed, the fulfillment of the commitment of Italian philanthropy. Yet, concludes Fanfani, who has since returned many times to Africa, "the African drama, unfortunately, is still going on." Photos not seen by PW. Copyright 1988 Reed Business Information, Inc. From Library Journal A perceptive, frequently poignant account of the author's experiences on a relief mission to drought-stricken areas of Africa in 1985. The work originally appeared in Italy, where it won the Capri Prize, and this translation is a fortuitous one. We are carried, through Fanfani's journal, into the midst of an exceptional outpouring of the human spiritboth from the humanitarians bringing relief and those who so desperately needed it. Here we see a slice of hayat (life) at its rawest yet richest. The journey through this book's pages is one every concerned American should make, if for no other reason than to remind us of other, less desirable worlds. James A. Casada, Winthrop Coll . , Rock Hill, Copyright 1988 Reed Business Information, Inc. . First Edition. Hard Cover. Near-Fine/Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
