Opis

This book is dedicated to the eastern African slaves, who were forced to leave their families, to be sold on the auction block. As domestic servants, they nursed the master's children, and sometimes, even shared his bed. Can you name one of the cities in eastern Africa? No? Can you name a country that is located on the east coast of Africa? I thought not-- few westerners can. Long before we were born, our forefathers drifted casually from one ethnic alliance to another. They never realized that someday in the future that their descendants would want to know about their ethnic origins. Identifying yourself as a citizen of where you live describes you inadequately. Even though you come from a cosmopolitan melting pot, your physical appearance and your character betray your early experience of having been reared as part of an ethnic group. You are not just the product of where you were born. Even your preference in food betrays your origin, so why not surrender and explore the past to understand these historic, promiscuous relatives? They are often incredible This novel presents a fictional account about the adventurous antecedents of an American, who goes to the modern Republic of South Africa and explores his roots. Follow the adventures of these fictional characters as they seek trade with China and start commercial ventures in Egypt. Then accompany another descendant on his pilgrimage to Mecca in Saudi Arabia. Track the family as their business shifts from slavery and piracy to respectable shipping. Travel with the next generations as they marry and adopt new lives all over the world. Follow them as their descendants seek to learn of their heritage. Mix that with your imagination and apply a little geography, and you will realize that all of us are draped in David's cloak of variegated colors Everyone must bow to his own fate, even though it be found in the remotest part of Africa. This novel concludes, when our modern-day hero, Hannibal encounters his own special destiny in life.
