Listen to «le Talisman brisé»

“Listen to the wind, it’s the Sahara crying. It’s waiting for the man of integrity who can make it green again.” Kwamé, a non-Francophone African, hasn’t forgotten the story. And he believes it too: the Sahara can turn green again. It’s the reason that he came here, to work in the experimental garden run by Professor Omar. One day, as Kwamé is working in the garden, Professor Omar is kidnapped right under his nose… on the scene of the crime lie the professor’s broken talisman and a handheld computer. Kwamé launches himself into a dangerous investigation: suspected by the police, threatened by strange individuals, and feeling wary of the large NGO working with the police, he decides to find the professor on his own. Speaking hesitant French, which he improves thanks to his dictionary and the people he meets, Kwamé follows the clues that lead him, via the high spots of the Neolithic Sahara and the River Niger, closer to the crucial man.
