'An absorbing story' SALMAN RUSHDIE 'Rich, vivid and gripping'
GUARDIAN 'Feels at once historical and contemporary' NEW YORK TIMES
BOOK REVIEW In 1527, hundreds of settlers arrived on the coast of
modern-day Florida and claimed the region for Spain. Within a year
of navigational errors, disease, starvation and fierce resistance
from indigenous tribes, only four survivors remained. Three were
nobleman, whose stories found their way into the official record.
The fourth was known only as Estebanico, a vibrant merchant from
Barbary forced into slavery and a new name, reborn as the first
African explorer of the Americas. This is his story: a journey
across the great swathes of the New World, where would-be
conquerors are transformed into humble servants, fearful outcasts
into healers, and the silenced into storytellers.
