Moses Isegawa - Abyssinian Chronicles
Voted one of Africa's 100 best books of the past century.
Set in a village during the years of the Idi Amin terror in Uganda, Abyssinian Chronicles takes us into the heart of Africa, vividly immersing us in mesmerizing extremes of beauty and brutality, wisdom and ignorance, wealth and poverty, hope and despair. We come to intimately know an extended family rich in tradition, and follow the unsentimental education of the boy who takes it all in, who learns, observes and teaches, and starts to feel the very earth moving under the African experience and the people he loves.

Paul Theroux - Dark Star Safari: Overland from Cairo to Cape Town
'A wonderful, powerful book, a loving letter to the continent' - Sunday Times, UK
Paul Theroux sets off for Cape Town from Cairo - the hard way. Travelling across bush and desert, down rivers and across lakes, and through country after country - Egypt, the Sudan, Ethiopia, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Malawi, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, South Africa - he visits some of the most beautiful landscapes on earth, and some of the most dangerous. It is a journey of discovery and rediscovery - of the unknown and the unexpected, but also of people and places he knew as a young and optimistic teacher forty years before.
