- Synopsis
- First published in 1935, The African Queen is the story of Charlie Allnutt and Rose Sayer, a disheveled trader and an English spinster missionary, who are thrown together when World War I reaches the heart of the African jungle. Fighting time, heat, malaria, and bullets, they escape on a rickety steamboat, where they fall in love and hatch an outrageous military plan of their own. The story was immortalized in the 1951 film starring Katharine Hepburn and Humphrey Bogart. The African Queen is packed with vintage Forester drama--unrelenting suspense, reckless heroism, impromptu military maneuvers, leaky boats, near-death experiences, and a good old-fashioned love story to boot.
