WITH A NEW INTRODUCTION FROM DAVID OLUSOGA

Winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award

Tracing his ancestry through six generations – slaves and freedmen, farmers and blacksmiths, lawyers and architects – back to Africa, Alex Haley discovered a sixteen-year-old youth, Kunta Kinte. It was this young man, who had been torn from his homeland and in torment and anguish brought to the slave markets of the New World, who held the key to Haley's deep and distant past.

CU O NOUA INTRODUCERE DE LA DAVID OLUSOGA Castigator al Premiului Pulitzer si al Premiului National al cartii Urmarirea stramosilor sai de-a lungul a sase generatii - sclavi si eliberati, fermieri si fierari, avocati si arhitecti - inapoi in Africa, Alex Haley a descoperit un tanar de saisprezece ani, Kunta Kinte. Acest tanar, care fusese smuls din patria sa si in chinuri si angoase aduse pe pietele sclavilor din Lumea Noua, a fost cel care a detinut cheia trecutului profund si indepartat al lui Haley.
