Pour réveiller l’intérêt du public du sort qui aurait été pendant longtemps celui de ce délice de récit d’aventure, Bill F. Ndi passe par Fontenelle pour ainsi justifier sa mission traductrice. Il s’agit d’une traduction du titre original anglais, Adventures by Sead’Edward Coxere, qui tient toute son importance du fait qu’elle permet de mettre en évidence les grandes lignes de l’évolution des idées et des mentalités dans la société anglaise du 17ème siècle. Cette traduction que nous offre Bill F. Ndi est (...)

Africa is victim of its leaders. Africans have the leaders they deserved.

This is the story of an African-American’s tour in an African country. The story suggests that this country would have been a better place if only the big men of power and their accolades could shelve (...)

2011, author(s)-editor(s) Colin Diyen
This is a hilarious book of prejudices and stereotypes that make the reader laugh and frown, stop and think. In men’s circles it is commonplace to hear men’s talk such as: What can a man do without a woman by his side?; Women spice life somehow; they are like that type of pain that you enjoy as it hurts; or like pepper, a hot spice that many Africans enjoy in their meals despite its sharp burning taste. Of course, there is much more to a woman – her subtlety and beauty of being infinitely (...)
