Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A moving and riveting epic novel--a family saga, spanning three generations and dealing with their dark and mysterious past, set in an Ethiopian, magical mountainous countryside, in a world of monkeys, goats and spirits. Desta, a seven-year-old boy and Abraham, his middle-aged father, are on separate but parallel missions. The boy dreams of climbing one of the mountains that circle his home to touch the sky and run his fingers through the clouds. Abraham yearns to find his own long lost father. Each faces a series of obstacles and each ultimately realizes his dream, although not in the way he hoped. In the center of this sweeping novel is a 2,800-year old Solomonic gold coin, a family heirloom that went missing along with Desta's vanished grandfather forty years earlier. A symbol of the family's financial success and personal pride, this coin is one of the reasons why Abraham grew up fatherless and why his mother abandoned her farmland estate and came to settle in an isolated, mountainous valley, setting the family saga in motion. …

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In the second act of this unfolding epic, the shepherd boy Desta is catapulted from his remote and isolated valley into a wider world.

An old compass and wooden rod had turned Desta's life upside down and propelled him into the unknown. Desta is an Ethiopian student prophesied to earn a modern education and find a missing ancient Coin of Magic and Fortune. After high school, he was set to study medicine in Bulgaria and search for the shekel. But at the last minute, his devices instead directed him to follow the sun west to pursue his goals. A friend hastily finds him a college and a benefactor for a year, and Desta travels westward across the globe from Ethiopia to America.
