Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The book begins with a Prologue. A prominent settler legislator as far back as the 19th century foresees the development of tribal problems in Liberia. He is against the apprenticeship program for civilizing the natives because he sees it as a transplant from America to Africa of the slave/master… relationship. So set is his mind against it that when he contracts malaria, from which he eventually dies, he relates, in his delirious state, the happening of a whole century later. One hundred years later, while cleaning out his study, his great, great, grandson, Edward, comes across the manuscript, in the form of notes the legislators daughter had taken. The story Aaron Ashe is a prominent businessman residing in the city of Monrovia. His main holding is an oil palm plantation and a piggery that he has developed some way outside the city. He makes regular visits to his farm, not only to work, but many times to entertain foreign business associates. On these occasions, the workers on the farm, who are all indigenous people, marvel at the apparent wealth of the white people. Eleven year old Fahn Tamba, son of the headman on the farm, realizes that his own people: his mother, his aunt, other relatives, could be just as beautiful and civilized as the foreign ladies and the settler ladies who come up from Monrovia. The fact that they are not is because nobody has given them the opportunity to better themselves. He and his older cousin resolve to do something about this. The crux of the matter, he decides, is to get an education. After discussing this with his parents, Mrs. Tamba asks Mr. Ashe to assist; in effect, to take the boy to Monrovia as an apprentice in his home. Mr. Ashe agrees. Arthur Duncan, a soccer star, is the son of a preacher in Grandcess, a typical coastal town in Liberia. Not being blessed with direct settler involvement, the citizens are not as privileged as the people in Monrovia are. They have, however, evolved into a sort of middle class society. Being originally of indigenous stock but now educated, mainly through the efforts of missionaries, are not fully accepted into the settler elite. Arthur is concerned about the lack of organized commercial activity among the Liberian people in his area. His concern is further enhanced by the visit of a preacher from the United States of America. He resolves to go to Monrovia and attempt to find the answers to some of his questions. Having just graduated from high school, and with no colleges in his area, it was not difficult for him to convince his father to let him attend the University of Liberia in Monrovia. In Monrovia, the eldest son of Aaron Ashe is also a soccer star who has just graduated from high school. He and Arthur Duncan play on opposite sides of a major tournament. Later, they find themselves classmates at the University of Liberia and a strong friendship develops between the two young men. Through this, Fahn gets to meet Arthur who he had admired ever since he saw him play in that soccer tournament. At the University, there are many students from the interior who are children of the indigenous people. Being away from home and having very little or no money at all, life is very difficult for these young people and making ends meet is a daily struggle. In complete contrast is the plight of the Monrovia students. More often than not their parents are a part of the establishment. They live at home, wear nice clothes, have three square meals a day and always seem to have money to do the things they want to do. The students from the interior relate this directly to their origin and feel that the Government treats their people, and hence them, as second class citizens by not providing much needed opportunities in the interior. Because there are no recreational facilities o.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Swamp Fox is the story of a southern revolutionary hero. Francis Marion was a lawyer and a successful plantation owner in South Carolina. He was no longer a young man in 1776. Marion had already served with distinction in the South Carolina militia during the Indian uprisings years before. And ye…t when his country needed him he answered the call and took up his old position as a major in the militia. The British were sending a fleet of warships against Charles Town and he had volunteered to defend the city. The story, Swamp Fox, begins as Francis constructs a fortress using the only materials available. Even his superiors believe any attempt at defense is futile, but Francis perseveres. The defense of the city is successful, Marion is elevated to the rank of Colonel, and for a period of time the war doesn't seem to impact the south. The story touches upon the elegant life of the wealthy southerners as Marion and Mary are guests at a ball giving in honor of the Marquis de La Fayette upon his arrival in America. Francis begins to get on with his life and proposes marriage to the beautiful Mary Videau. Unfortunately he chooses the very day that Savannah is attacked and falls to the British. The British again turn their attention on Charles Town. On the evening of the attack, all officers meet to finalize their plans and in a freak accident, Francis breaks his ankle and is ordered to go home. Protesting the situation Francis is taken home by Oscar, his plantation overseer and friend since childhood. Oscar, and all the blacks who work on Marion's plantation, are freed men and women since Marion is very much against slavery. Charles Town falls to the British and all the American officers are either killed or captured. The British know of Colonel Francis Marion and are searching for him as he is the only remaining American officer in the south. To hide from the British, Francis takes to the swamp with a handful of close friends. From the safety of the swamp, Francis Marion plans to rally others to the American cause of Liberty and Freedom and strike at the British. Other southerners hear that Colonel Marion is in the swamp calling for recruits and slowly a small band of men come together. They begin to harass the British who are still searching for him. Just when they seem to have captured him he slips away like a ghost into the swamp. It is the frustrated British who dub him 'The Swamp Fox'. Throughout the tale, Francis fights discrimination and prejudice against blacks. He staunchly defends his beliefs even voicing them to his superiors. In one instance, he and is men offer their services to General Gates who laughs at them and mocking promotes Marion to the rank of general. The title sticks as Francis shrugs off the insult and continues fighting on his own. On occasion, and then only at night, Marion is able to go to the Videau plantation to see Mary. He dare not go to his beloved plantation, Pond Bluff, as the British watch it constantly. Marion's band grows in size and he is able to attack the British on a larger scale, but he always is depressed as he doesn't have any contact with the American forces. Working alone, without orders, he claims that he wouldn't know if the war was over or who won. He just continues to fight and har.
