Sobre este artículo
This is an ingeniously conceived history of what is now Benin, seen through the port of Dahomey, once the fiefdom of a white Brazilian slave-trader called da Silva.
In his second book, Chatwin vividly sketches the bizarre mix of peoples and beliefs that that came together to allow the ghastly reality of the slave trade in the early nineteenth century.
Hardcover.
Sinopsis
In this vivid, powerful novel, Chatwin tells of Francisco Manoel de Silva, a poor Brazilian adventurer who sails to Dahomey in West Africa to trade for slaves and amass his fortune. His plans exceed his dreams, and soon he is the Viceroy of Ouidah, master of all slave trading in Dahomey. But the ghastly business of slave trading and the open savagery of life in Dahomey slowly consume Manoel's wealth and sanity.
