The Moor's account : a novel  Cover Image Book Book

The Moor's account : a novel / Laila Lalami.

Summary:

"In these pages, Laila Lalami brings us the imagined memoirs of the first black explorer of America: Mustafa al-Zamori, called Estebanico. The slave of a Spanish conquistador, Estebanico sails for the Americas with his master, Dorantes, on a danger-laden expedition to Florida. Within a year, Estebanico is one of only four crew members to survive. As he journeys across America with his Spanish companions, the Old World roles of slave and master fall away, and Estebanico remakes himself as an equal, a healter, and a remarkable storyteller. His tale illuminates the ways in which our naratives can transmigrate into history--and how storytelling can offer a chance a redemption and survival." -- from back cover.
