De vorst, de soldaat en de reiziger by Harrie Lemmens
Vier eeuwen Portugal - Angola. Zo luidt de ondertitel van deze brok fascinerende geschiedenis. Harrie Lemmens is vooral bekend van zijn vertalingen van Portugese literatuur. Hier reconstrueert hij de geschiedenis van de Portugees-Angolese relaties aan de hand van drie getuigenissen uit het verleden. Hij baseert zich daarbij op weinig gekend archiefmateriaal zoals de briefwisseling in de zestiende eeuw tussen de toenmalige koning van Kongo met zijn Portugese evenknie. Een andere getuigenis show more komt van een Portugese soldaat die in de zeventiende eeuw ten oorlog trok tegen de Afrikaanse koningin Jinga. Het laatste deel van het boek gaat over twee portugese ontdekkingsreizigers die in de 19de eeuw van Angola naar Mozambique trokken. Dit boek is allerminst dorre geschiedschrijving omdat Lemmens alles in zijn context plaatst en zijn getuigen zelf aan het woord laat. Fascinerende en verhelderende non-fictie. show less
