Alma. The wind is stronger. Fombel T., de

1786, the eve of the French Revolution. In La Rochelles, a trading ship is preparing for sailing to Lisbon, where Joseph Mart will move on his side with a secret mission. On the west coast of Africa, Alma runs out of the native, closed from the world of the valley, to find the missing brother. On the sea path between Europe, Africa and the new light, their fate will inevitably intersect, as well as the fate of hundreds and thousands of other free and involuntary participants in the colonial economy of Europe.

A fascinating novel-travel of slave trade and the struggle for liberation.
