Led by David Livingstone, the Scottish explorer and missionary, they are said to have come to civilise "backward" Africans, which the author creatively re-imagines, arguing that it is far from the truth. Instead, their actions gave impetus to colonialism proper. In this book the omniscient narrator, Everywhere, is God's special envoy mandated to witness history with far-reaching consequences for humanity. His investigation is to help nail David Livingstone on Judgment Day, much the same way St Peter chronicles events in the Book of Life. Read about how, Everywhere, the spirit rides on wind, walks on water, enters into his characters' stream of consciousness and even discerns how they interpret the world around them. The novel retraces Livingstone's early life, from his deprived childhood in Blantyre, Scotland; his ideological evolution and training in London and his dramatic sojourn in Monomotapa kingdom, which he half-believes is his destiny. The satirical tone in the novel aptly captures that delusional aspect of Livingstone's "God-ordained" mission to the world." --Publisher. 500 $a Novel. 600 10 $a Livingstone, David, $d 1813-1873. 600 17 $a Livingstone, David, $d 1813-1873. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00031340 650 0 $a Biographical fiction, English $z Kenya. 650 0 $a Historical fiction, Kenyan (English) $y 21st century. 650 0 $a Kenyan literature (English) $y 21st century. 650 7 $a Biographical fiction, English. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00832127 651 0 $a Africa $v Fiction. 651 7 $a Kenya. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01208718 651 7 $a Africa. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01239509 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Literature. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft 830 0 $a African classics series (Braamfontein, South Africa) 830 0 $a Peak library fiction. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317030739.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=61F95688E9E911EBBBC9467A3DECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
