Sinossi
A Togolese novel that delivers a rich, intimate portrait of a scholar whose life is inextricably bound to Africa.
For the French ethnologist Maurice Boyer, Africa isn't just a place; it’s a mirage, an enigma, a mirror reflecting his desires and doubts. The fieldwork he undertook in Tèdi, Togo, where he lived for years among the Tem people and tried to understand their customs and rituals, has left him with questions that have lingered: Who was a friend and who was a foe? Which stories were true and which were illusions? As decades pass and the roles of Aurélie, his wife, and Safi, his former student, begin to shift, Boyer finds himself wrestling not only with his own choices but with the legacy of knowledge itself.
Through the lens of this profound postcolonial quest, Sami Tchak explores Africa’s rich, complex reality through this intimate story of a scholar reconsidering his own understanding of culture, ethnology, and history. The Continent of Everything and Practically Nothing asks whether assembling more data can truly capture the complexity of a continent, and explores how academic ambition, history, and emotion shape how we understand the world, and how we live in it.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. A Togolese novel that delivers a rich, intimate portrait of a scholar whose life is inextricably bound to Africa. For French ethnologist Maurice Boyer, Africa is more than a placeit's a dream, a puzzle, a mirror reflecting his desires and doubts. His years of fieldwork in Tedi, Togo, where he lived among the Tem people and tried to illuminate their customs and rituals, marked him profoundly. Who was a friend and who was a foe? Which stories were true and which were illusions? As the years pass and the roles of Aurelie, his wife, and Safi, his former student, come into sharper view, Boyer finds himself wrestling not only with his own choices but with the legacy of knowledge itself. In a novel framed as a profound postcolonial quest, Sami Tchak explores Africa's rich, complex reality through this intimate story of a scholar wrestling with his own understanding of culture, knowledge, and history. The Continent of Everything and Practically Nothing grapples with whether assembling more data can truly capture the complexity of a continent, exposing how academic ambition, history, and emotion shape scholarship.
