Jedoch fehlte mir ein Nachwort, in welchem Diop erklären würde, welche Teile auf wahren Begebenheiten beruhen und wo er seiner Fantasie freien Lauf gelassen hatte. Bei historischen Büchern, die auf wahren Begebenheiten bzw. Personen beruhen, wäre so ein Leitfaden nicht schlecht. Pas marquante pour moi car le rythme est très étrange, avec une première partie un peu longue, sur la vie d'Aglaé et le réaménagement du château de Balaine, qui ne reviendront plus dans le récit et qui ne sont que l'excuse pour la trouvaille des carnet de Michel Adanson, qui constituent le cœur du livre. Ces carnets d'ailleurs : écrits dans le style du 18e siècle, les liens amicaux et amoureux y sont exagérés, et cette histoire d'amour unilatéral au premier regard et en côtoyant la personne seulement 2 jours en tout et pour tout, ca ne m'a jamais attiré. Ces carnets sont aussi un peu longs, et semblent raconter des faits un peu superflus sur la fin.

But even more, poignant and heart-wrenching than the cells and the chains were the small "door of no return" through which every man, woman, and child walked to the slave boat, catching a last glimpse of their homeland. To «Τη Νύχτα, Όλα Τα Αίματα Είναι Μαύρα» είναι ένα από τα καλύτερα βιβλία που έχω διαβάσει τα τελευταία χρόνια και γι’ αυτό το λόγο περίμενα το επόμενο βιβλίο του Νταβίντ Ντιόπ με ανυπομονησία και με αυξημένες προσδοκίες. You'd think the resentment built up in the neglected child of a botanist would cause her to hate plants and possibly even reject nature, but if anything, she loved the natural world more than her father did. She learned that unlike cruel people, plants and trees harbor no ill will towards us. If we tend to them, they will provide enduring joy. She is able to open herself up, in opposition to her closed-off father.

In his village in Upper Kwanta, 11-year-old Kofi loves his family, playing oware with his grandfather and swimming in the river Offin. He’s warned though, to never go to the river at night. His brother tells him ”There are things about the water you do not know." “Like what?" Kofi asks. “The beasts,” his brother answers. Harvard University economics professor Nathan Nunn says that although Africa experienced four slave trades between 1400 and 1900, the transatlantic slave trade is the best known. The Portuguese started it in 1519, and by the time it ended in 1867, Britain, France, the Netherlands and others had all taken part in it. About 15 million people from West Africa, Central Africa and Eastern Africa were captured and shipped to European colonies in inhumane conditions. Around 9.6 million people are said to have survived, while millions of others died during the journey.
