Sobre este artículo
New York:: Atlantic Monthly Press,, (2003). SIGNED hardcover first edition -. Fine in a very near fine dust jacket (small spot delaminated on front cover of dj from sticker removal).. First printing. Hartley, a journalist who worked in Africa in the 1990s describes his childhood as the son of a British colonial officer, a legacy that stretched back over 150 years - four generations of one family. As a journalist he witnessed genocidal activities in Ethiopia, Somalia, Rwanda, and the Congo; the death of his friends, and heard stories of terrible attrocities. Burnt out by a decade of horrors he retreated to his family's home in Kenya where he found the Zanzibar chest his father had left him and inside the diaries of his father's best friend who had died in mysterious circmstances more than 50 years earlier- and so he set out on a journey to Southern Arabia to unlock Davey's story and that of his family. SIGNED on the title page. Dust jacket praise from Jim Harrison who called this a stunning piece of writing. Photographs. 415 pp.
