The Passing Wind - Nol Alembong - Bog

The Passing Wind presents the message of a Cameroonian to his fellow Africans and mankind in general. In the wide-ranging impressive collection, Nol Alembong dilates on the hierarchy of the physical and spiritual components of man, underlining in the process that purity and integrity are foremost among the values that man ought to uphold. Like some of his predecessors, the author occasionally assumes the role of a critic, alerting Africans about the danger which misuse of power and injustice pose to their development.
