The Two Princes of Calabar: An Eighteenth-Century Atlantic Odyssey
ISBN: 9780674032057 / Angielski / Miękka / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In 1767, two "princes" of a ruling family in the port of Old Calabar, on the slave coast of Africa, were ambushed and captured by English slavers. The princes, Little Ephraim Robin John and Ancona Robin Robin John, were themselves slave traders who were betrayed by African competitors--and so began their own extraordinary odyssey of enslavement.

Randy Sparks made the remarkable discovery of the princes' correspondence and has managed to reconstruct their adventures from it....

Eppure quel folle re prussiano, Federico II, che chiamavano il Grande, si muoveva con la sicurezza di chi aveva la certezza...
