For the Russian reader, Africa is still terra incognita. Its diverse geography corresponds to the abundance of original and absolutely different cultures.
Alexander Stesin, a writer, poet and doctor, has been traveling around this not yet fully explored continent for many years, plunging into its life and history. He cures typhus in the desert and malaria in the jungle, studies the Swahili and Chwi languages, collects oils in Madagascar, compares the cuisines of Senegal and Somalia, translates local classics and contemporary authors. Before us is a new type of African text for Russian literature: a hundred years after the travels of Nikolai Gumilyov, Stesin turns out to be an intermediary between cultures, disenchanting long-established stereotypes about a continent that may have to determine the future.
