书籍简介
这是关于医生、探险家大卫·利文斯通 (David Livingstone) 的布瓦纳·达迪 (Bwana Daudi) 遗体的故事，以及 69 位男女抬着他的遗体走了 1,500 英里，以便将他运过大海，埋葬在自己的国家。
他那个时代的智者说，利文斯通冲进了他们故乡的黑暗，留下了一条光明的轨迹，追随他的白人可以安全地行走。 但在佩蒂娜·加帕（Petina Gappah）的激进小说中，是那些处于历史阴影中的人——那些拯救了白人骨头的人； 他的黑暗同伴； 他忠实的随从踏上了史诗般的葬礼进行曲——他们的声音再次以灼热的强度响起。
这趟穿越非洲内陆后、命运攸关的旅程由利文斯通的尖刻厨师哈利玛和他忠诚的三个仆人雅各布、丘玛和苏西带领。 他们讲述了他的尸体如何从 19 世纪的非洲被运出的故事——携带着在非洲大陆播下残酷殖民种子的地图——具有神话的力量。 它不仅象征着奴隶制的虚伪，而且描绘了一个在彻底变革的风口浪尖上颤抖的世界，也是对人类勇敢、忠诚和爱的颂扬。
This is the story of the body of Bwana Daudi, the Doctor, the explorer David Livingstone - and the sixty-nine men and women who carried his remains for 1,500 miles so that he could be borne across the sea and buried in his own country.
The wise men of his age say Livingstone blazed into the darkness of their native land leaving a track of light behind where white men who followed him could tread in perfect safety. But in Petina Gappah's radical novel, it is those in the shadows of history - those who saved a white man's bones; his dark companions; his faithful retinue on an epic funeral march - whose voices are resurrected with searing intensity.
This final, fateful journey across the African interior is lead by Halima, Livingstone's sharp-tongued cook, and three of his devoted servants: Jacob, Chuma and Susi. Their tale of how his corpse was borne out of nineteenth-century Africa - carrying the maps that sowed the seeds of the continent's brutal colonisation - has the power of myth. It is not only symbolic of slavery's hypocrisy, but a portrait of a world trembling on the cusp of total change - and a celebration of human bravery, loyalty and love.
