The Long Dark Trail
()
About this ebook
This extraordinary novel provides a soul-searching account of America’s miraculous, complex history, recounting the triumphs and despairs of generations of white and black Americans joined together by slavery and its aftermath. The country’s changing racial landscape is reflected in the fortunes of the book’s main protagonist, Bob Allen’s daughter Elizabeth, and her biracial “dream son” Jesse.
Dawit Tekie Teclemariam
Dawit was born and brought up in Asmara, Eritrea. After completing high school in his homeland, he left for Italy at a young age. He accumulated years of experience in various fields; among these, he was privileged to travel as a sailor across the world, which fueled his vivid and colorful imagination. Despite not having undertaken any formal writing courses, Dawit mulled over The Long Dark Trail (formerly known as The Verdict of Time) for decades, taking inspiration from his many personal experiences as well as from books, films, travels, folklore, people and nature. Dawit first wrote the story in Tigrigna, his native language. He then proceeded to collaborate with an esteemed group of translators to work on the Amharic and English versions simultaneously.
