Publisher's Synopsis

Although a staunch supporter of French colonialism, Paul Hazoume's narrative captures the customs and traditions of Dahomey. This novel, set in the first half of the 19th century, depicts a pattern of war, slave trade and human sacrifice - practices that earned Dahomey a reputation for brutality.
