Paradise

The action of the novel takes place in colonial Africa at a time when English invaders are pushing the natives off their land, and the Germans are planning to build a railway across the continent.

Yusuf's father sells his son into... slavery to pay off debts. Initially, Yusuf finds himself in the shop of his newly minted owner, and then embarks on a journey across the country with a trading caravan.

The collapse of the old world, intertribal wars, superstitions, questions of slavery and inner freedom through the eyes of a boy, combined with the problems of growing up and forbidden love, illuminate for the reader the dense fabric with which Africa wraps its beauty and brutality.
