Disciples of Fortune - Janvier Tisi - Bog

Bag om Disciples of Fortune

A bright-eyed explorer and soldier in the German colonial army in Kamerun adopts Josef Nana Njike and takes him to Germany. While in Germany, Josef studies Agronomy and flirts with political ideologies. He returns to German Kamerun after failing to marry his first love, and without their son, Hans. But as his benefactor's disciple with a mission, he pursues his dream. Josef is a man with unusual strengths and makes unprecedented sacrifices while building his business empire and shaping the political future of his people in the new geopolitical reality that emerged after the defeat of Germany in World War One called French Cameroun. He confronts the realities of French colonial rule without the protection of his benefactor, grapples with its bizarre challenges, and loses the heir to his legacy without losing his vision for his people. So, Josef is elated when Hans escapes Nazi Germany to Kamerun and joins him and his new family. The African sage guides his first son in giving birth to the third generation of the Njike family in a land with a mysterious way of transforming heroes into victims and villains into masters. Josef joins his ancestors as an unprecedented legend, but the years after his death would prove that he may have underestimated the viciousness of the forces that were committed to thwarting the dream of his people and destroying his family. The zest for life, the search for its true meaning, and the unequivocal love for family weave the characters into this spellbinder.
