L’esploratore conobbe nell’Ottocento la sua consacrazione definitiva. L’iconografia popolare racconta le gesta di uomini alla conquista di immensità sconosciute, con in testa il casco coloniale e nelle mani una mappa, un sestante o un fucile: un ritratto eccezionale, ma ingenuo. Nella realtà, gli esploratori furono espressione di un’epoca, con una precisa funzione sociale e politica: informare i contemporanei sullo stato del mondo, cercare risorse, fondare colonie. Al tempo stesso, però, dai loro diari traspaiono uomini inquieti, a disagio se non in totale rottura con le società da cui provengono. Nelle «terre incognite» gli esploratori cercavano non solo fama e ricchezze, ma la possibilità di dare un senso alla propria esistenza. Di quell’epopea il cinema e l’editoria hanno consegnato una lettura quasi esclusivamente anglosassone, imperniata sui nomi di Livingstone, Stanley, Burton, Speke..
