Not even a year later, Tomek Wilmowski is once again on an expedition! The young traveler, in the company of his father Andrzej Wilmowski, zookeeper Jan Smuga, bosun Tadeusz Nowicki and his faithful dog Dingo, is heading for Africa, a country full of contrasts, where pygmies, the smallest people in the world, live side by side with elephants. This time the firm Gagenbeka, which is engaged in catching wild animals for zoos, has set before the travelers a very difficult task - to catch gorillas and okapi. And the existence of the latter is not known. On the Black Continent the brave fur trappers are waiting for serious tests. Local tribes do not like strangers, and the mysterious jungle holds a lot of dangers: poisonous snakes, ferocious lions, insidious crocodiles .... If you hesitate, you'll be damned. But brave Tomek can't stand it all, because exciting adventures are worth the risk! More than one generation of young book lovers has grown up on the stories about the fearless Tomek Wilmowski, which came out from under the pen of Polish writer Alfred Shklarsky. Before you is the second novel in this series - "Tomek on the Black Continent", the translation of which has been re-calibrated and supplemented with interesting and informative popular science references. Wonderful illustrations for the book were created by artist Vladimir Kanivets.
