Softcover. Condizione: As New. Leichte Kratzer / Abnutzungen / Druckstellen. De West-Indische Compagnie heerst over de Afrikaanse Goudkust. Aan de andere kant van de Atlantische Oceaan schreeuwen de plantages om goedkope arbeidskrachten, maar het aanbod is schaars. Afrikaanse koninkrijken en Europese compagnieën handelen volgens oude verdragen, die zorgvuldig worden nagekomen. Als in november 1687 een dorpje in het Denkyira-rijk door illegale slavenhalers wordt leeggeplukt, zijn daarom de rapen gaar. Hollanders, Zeeuwen, Brandenburgers en andere Europeanen vechten om de buit, terwijl lokale stammen proberen wapens te bemachtigen om zo hun invloed uit te breiden.Het resultaat: een moeras van intriges, corruptie en geweld. In die agressieve wereld leeft blank en zwart wantrouwend naast elkaar, verbonden door hebzucht en geteisterd door hitte, ziekte en armoede. Aldemar Burghoutsz, schipper van de Griffioen, probeert zijn ruimen vol te krijgen. Slaven brengen geld op. Zij zijn vee. Kroesvee.Kroesvee is een roman, met fictieve personen en gebeurtenissen. De grote lijnen zijn echter historisch en de (politieke/sociale/militaire) context is zo waarheidsgetrouw mogelijk geschetst. Decor, landschappen, forten en nederzettingen zijn authentiek en zo veel mogelijk gebaseerd op oude reisverslagen.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. A historically grounded novel of slavery, power, and survival in the ruthless world of the seventeenth-century Caribbean.1685. When the Dutch merchant Balthasar Coymans secures the coveted Spanish Asiento contract-the exclusive right to supply enslaved Africans to Spain's American colonies-he gains access to the richest slave market in the Atlantic world. Control of this trade promises immense wealth, but it also unleashes fierce competition among merchants, colonial officials, and rival trading networks determined to claim their share. Across the Caribbean and the ports of Spanish America, fortunes rise and fall with every shipment of human cargo. Contracts are fragile, loyalties shift constantly, and corruption thrives in the shadow of colonial power. Traders, sailors, agents, and intermediaries become entangled in a vast web of commerce, intrigue, and betrayal. But another power stands in the way. In the Spanish colonies, the Holy Office of the Inquisition watches closely over foreign merchants and their dealings. Suspicion, denunciation, and religious scrutiny can destroy fortunes as quickly as political rivals. In a world where profit depends on fragile privilege, one accusation may be enough to bring the entire enterprise crashing down. Asiento offers an unflinching portrayal of the economic machinery that sustained the seventeenth-century slave trade to Spanish America. Through vividly drawn characters and meticulously researched historical settings, the novel reveals the ambitions, rivalries, and moral compromises that shaped the Caribbean world.This is not a tale of swashbuckling adventure. It is a dark and immersive exploration of a system where human lives became commodities-and where power belonged to those who controlled the trade. Asiento is the third of four standalone historical novels (Sons of Japheth Series) about the Dutch and the slave trade in the 17th century. The novel is included in the literature list of the official Historical Canon of the Netherlands (2025), in the section 'VOC and WIC.' Dutch merchant secures Spanish Asiento contract, unleashing competition, corruption, and betrayal in the ruthless seventeenth-century Caribbean slave trade. This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. An epic 17th-century novel of captivity, power, and Mediterranean piracyA historically grounded novel of captivity, diplomacy, and survival in the ruthless world of seventeenth-century North Africa. Based on documented events, maritime records, and diplomatic accounts, the story brings to life the political, economic, and human realities of the early modern Mediterranean.1678. The Dutch trader ship Sint Joris leaves the Dutch Republic in high spirits, bound for Paramaribo (Suriname) with a hold full of Schiedam gin and a handful of unsuspecting passengers. But off the Cape Verde Islands, disaster strikes: Algerian corsairs overwhelm the ship, and every soul on board is thrown into chains. What begins as a routine crossing becomes a nightmare as the Dutch disappear into the brutal world of Moorish slave markets, forced labor, and desperate bargaining for freedom.In Algiers, envoy Thomas Hees fights a different battle. Tasked with securing a peace treaty to protect Dutch merchant ships from Mediterranean piracy, he enters a city shaped by power struggles, corruption, and political intrigue. But the English and French have the same goal-and they are willing to sabotage negotiations, manipulate rivalries, and spill blood to dominate the region's maritime trade.Amid shifting alliances, court conspiracies, and the crushing machinery of North African slavery, a darker threat descends upon Algiers: the Black Death, cutting down rich and poor alike and sending the city into chaos.On the Barbary Coast delivers an unflinching portrayal of a world where diplomacy is as deadly as warfare, where survival depends on calculated loyalty, and where the line between captor and captive is thinner than anyone dares to admit. Meticulously grounded in original seventeenth-century accounts, maritime records, and diplomatic history, the novel recreates the political, economic, and cultural realities of the early modern Mediterranean world.This is not a tale of swashbuckling pirates. It is a raw and immersive journey into a society held together by fear, ambition, and the fragile hope of redemption-a historical novel that brings documented history to life through human experience.On the Barbary Coast (original Dutch title: In Barbarije) is the second of four standalone historical novels (Sons of Japheth Series) about the Dutch and the slave trade in the 17th century. It was first published in the Netherlands by LM Publishers in 2021. The novel is included in the literature list of the new Historical Canon of the Netherlands (November 2021), in the section 'VOC and WIC.Print editions include more than 60 black and white illustrations specially created for this edition. A Dutch ship is taken by Algerian corsairs and crew and passengers disappear into the brutal world of Moorish slave markets, forced labor, and desperate bargaining for freedom.
