Vozes d'África

(Portuguese Brazilian Edition) This book tells the story of the woman who, seeing a black traveler, saved from the Universal Flood in Noah's ark, offers herself to him as a wife. Her name is Africa, and unaware that she is joining a cursed husband. It is this same woman, a crippled lady, who narrates her martyrdom to God, while comparing it to the privileges of her sisters in Europe and Asia. And it is also she who accuses - America, 'traitor sister', 'condor that had turned into a vulture', feeds on her blood. Illustrated edition of one of Castro Alves' great abolitionist poems in which Africa cries out for justice. Presentation by Neil Lopes.
