About the Book

Akoni, nacido en Benín, tenía 12 años en 1770, en su aldea de Dabeya. Creció en la felicidad de su familia, hijo del rey Djibali. Sus días estaban llenos de juegos inocentes e historias compartidas alrededor del fuego. Akoni es un niño curioso, ingenioso y querido por todos en la comunidad yoruba.

La historia comienza describiendo la belleza de la vida cotidiana en la aldea, donde Akoni descubre el mundo que le rodea con asombro. Las tradiciones, creencias y costumbres yoruba se presentan con todo lujo de detalles, transportando a los lectores a la encantadora atmósfera del África del siglo XVIII.

Sin embargo, la felicidad de Akoni se ve repentinamente truncada por la llegada de forasteros portugueses, esclavistas en busca de jóvenes cautivos para venderlos a las plantaciones de las Indias Occidentales. El Rey quiere proteger a su pueblo, se declara la guerra y el desenlace será trágico. Akoni es capturado, arrancado de su familia y de su hogar.

El viaje de Akoni a través del Océano Atlántico a bordo de un barco negrero está retratado con conmovedora realidad. Los lectores sienten el dolor físico y emocional de los esclavos hacinados en condiciones inhumanas, enfrentados a la enfermedad, el hambre y la crueldad despiadada de los negreros portugueses.

La narración se traslada a la difícil vida en una plantación de Santo Domingo, donde Akoni y sus compañeros se ven obligados a trabajar bajo un sol implacable, sometidos a la crueldad de los colonos. La resistencia de Akoni emerge cuando se niega a perder la esperanza y lucha por su dignidad y su libertad.

La historia explora las amistades que se forjan ante la adversidad, en particular la que existe entre Akoni y Jelani, un hombre mayor que se convierte en mentor y amigo valioso. Momentos de solidaridad, revuelta y sueños de libertad tejen un poderoso tejido emocional que une a los personajes y a los lectores.

Cuando estalla la revuelta en la plantación, Akoni desempeña un papel central, utilizando sus conocimientos adquiridos en secreto para educar a sus compañeros y orquestar la búsqueda de la libertad. Sin embargo, la amarga victoria en la plantación no significa el final del viaje de Akoni.
Conseguirá, contra todo pronóstico, regresar a Benín, un momento conmovedor lleno de emotivos reencuentros y enfrentamientos con los cambios en su aldea natal. Akoni comparte su historia con la comunidad, transmitiendo las lecciones aprendidas y la necesidad de recordar el pasado para forjar el futuro.
