Der Roman erzählt die wahre Geschichte von Werner Munzinger aus Olten in der Schweiz, der über Umwege in Abessinien im Gebiet des heutigen Eritrea landet und dort auf erstaunliche Weise zum Pascha ernannt wird. Eine dieser Geschichten, von denen man kaum glauben kann, dass sie (zumindest größtenteils) genau so passiert sind...

Ausgestiegen kurz vor der Hälfte. Einfache, schnörkellose Sprache. Die Figuren erschienen mir aber allzu sehr klischiert. Deshalb konnte sich die eigentlich vielversprechende, akribisch recherchierte Ausgangslage bei mir nicht in gespannte Leselust umwandeln.

Tarih romanları sevmeyenlerin bile sıkılmadan okuyabilecekleri bir kitap. Bir Kuzey Avrupalının Osmanlı İmparatorluğu himayesindeki Batı Afrika topraklarında geçirdiği olaylar ve dönemim Avrupa Afrika siyaseti hakkında giriş sevide bilgiler içeriyor.

the storytelling can be a bit dull at times, but it's obvious that the author did a comprehensive research beforehand. and he did a great job reflecting that research into the story. it was a fun read. educational, even.

Cain't nobody write about Fernweh wie 'n Schwiizer. Super Darstellung von Kolonial Nord-Afrika. The contemporary story in Olten was a little weak, and did not add much, but that is all that kept this from being 5 stars. The letters between the brothers Munzinger were wonderful.

Ein tolles Buch über Auswanderung, in die Nilgegend um gutes zu tun, nämlich die Sklaverei abzuschaffen.
Passt zum Lesen während einem Reiseaufenthalt in Aegypten, Sudan oder Aethiopien.
