Est\u0026amp;aacute;n lejos de nosotros y de todo el mundo. Son los ex\u0026amp;oacute;ticos de los ex\u0026amp;oacute;ticos.

El poeta se refer\u0026amp;iacute;a a unas criaturas tan fabulosas como nuestros duendes.

They are the exotic of the exotic. Homer gives this name to certain beings in \u003ci\u003eThe Iliad\u003c\/i\u003e, and from one of his verses springs one of the most ridiculous and enduring misconceptions in scientific history. The poet referred to creatures as fabulous as our gnomes. However, the myth endured and, from the nineteenth century on, against all prognosis and driven by science, literature, and fantasy, many explorers have gone looking for them in the heart of Africa.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Heart\u0026amp;rsquo;s Darkness\u003c\/i\u003e follows the adventures of some of them: the extravagant and seductive Paul Du Chaillu, the arrogant German botanist Georg Schweinfurth, the unjustly forgotten ethnographer Paul Schebesta, painter Anne Eisner and her husband Patrick Putnam, anthropologist Colin Turnbull, and even Albert S\u0026amp;aacute;nchez Pi\u0026amp;ntilde;ol himself. They all embarked on this voyage towards something so very important to them, and they all found what they were looking for.
