Description
This novel sits at the crossroads of autobiography and philosophical essay, plunging the reader into the tumult of Zaire’s political transition at the end of the Mobutu era.
Forced into exile by the collapse of my country, I traversed Southern Africa in a journey that led me from Angola to the lands of Swaziland, passing through post-war Mozambique and a South Africa in the midst of its post-apartheid transformation.
More than a simple testimony of my childhood, youth, education, and exile, this work explores the fine line between fatality and individual responsibility. Through my illusions and disillusions, I pose a fundamental question: to what extent are we the architects of our own downfall or the silent accomplices of our fate?
Having returned to my native land, I conceived this narrative not as a statement of failure, but as a true call to action. It is an invitation to reclaim the reins of our personal and collective histories—to no longer endure a « diverted destiny, » but to actively shape the course of events and our ultimate destination.
