Selim, the son of a noble Arab of Zanzibar, joins a trading expedition into the interior, where it meets disaster. Captured, enslaved and befriended by Kalulu, a young African chief, he must survive war, captivity and the brutality of the slave trade before he can hope to return to the coast. The explorer’s attitudes to Africa are very much those of the 1870s.
