Summary:
In Africa, the invisible meets the visible and sometimes precedes it in the lives of men, so much so that the irrational part seems to take precedence over the rational. Chance here does not exist and all that is lived, ostentation or nefarious, noble or ignoble, in the joy as in the misfortune, is justified by the interweaving of strange, unusual phenomena, pertaining to the occultism which spreads the novel by Amadou Hampâté Bâ and revealing as if by magic a piece of this Africa of darkness.--Fnac
