Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'The History of modern West Africa is largely the history of five centuries of trade with European nations commerce was the fundamental relationship that bound Africa to Europe '- Kenneth Onwuka Dike.African Tales Of a Green Planet is a fictional work set in the Niger Delta area of West Africa roughly between 1730-1850, among the Igbo speaking peoples of the Niger Delta. The Niger Delta area of Nigeria is an area blessed in economic terms and has played a pivotal role in the economic history of Africa as a whole. It is an area, which in the first 400 years of trade with Europe produced, first gold, then slaves during the period of the slave trade, and palm oil after the prohibition of the slave trade, and finally crude oil in modern times.This tale explores one man's attempt (Nwosisi) to preserve the African way of life in the Sacred Forest away from all foreign intrusion. He falls deeply in love with a very beautiful girl (Ugonma) and that changes not only the course of his life but that of his environs as well, a metaphor for Africa. This tale is recounted by an old Iroko tree five hundreds of years old. In true oral tradition it captures a story of love, trade and politics, power struggles, foreign intruders, mysticism, and the daunting task of one man's attempt to preserve 'a way of life' in danger of extinction. This attempt seemed doomed from the onset; just as the notion of preserving a green planet is doomed in the context of so-called modern civilization.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'The Inverted Pyramid' is a spy thriller that ingeniously explores the mind of its main character Zuby; while at the same time it reveals Nigeria's socio-political system with the aim of providing much needed answers to the many anomalies that exist in Nigerian society today. It gives an explanation both in political and economic terms for the slow rate of economic development, the very high level of corruption, and the apparent indifference of the Nigerian government to the economic plight of its people; amidst so much apparent wealth. It captures the Nigerian psyche explaining what we have all come to recognize as the 'Nigerian factor.' It also unveils a rare insight into the nuances of modern Nigerian society in which money, and sex play a pivotal role in the lives of the 'Vested Interest' who are the few who benefit from the status quo at the expense of the greater majority. An entertaining spy thriller with intrigue, espionage, and deception all captured within the cultural, social, and political backdrop of contemporary Nigeria.
