A propos de cet article

Paperback. A dark, immersive journey through the brutal machinery of the Dutch and English slave trade.A brutally realistic novel of slavery, power, and survival in seventeenth-century West Africa. 1687. Along the West African coast, European traders, African rulers, and Moorish middlemen fight for dominance in the most brutal economy the world has ever known: the trans-Atlantic slave trade. Human lives are currency. Loyalty is fragile. Power is everything.Skipper Aldemar Burghoutsz and Gillis Graauw are Dutch traders trying to live with the consequences of their past. Drawn into a world built on violence, fear, and exploitation, they face a trade where no one leaves unscathed-least of all those who believe they still have a conscience. Their journey forces them to confront betrayal, shifting alliances, deadly sea voyages, and the moral cost of survival. Black Cattle offers an unflinching portrayal of the systems that fueled the slave trade. Rather than heroes and villains, the novel reveals a complex network of ambition, resistance, and complicity-European and African alike. Through vivid descriptions, historically grounded scenes, and deeply human characters, the story exposes the cold machinery of colonial power. Meticulously researched and rooted in documented historical realities, the novel immerses readers in the maritime world of seventeenth-century trade routes, coastal societies, and the economic structures that sustained early colonial expansion. This is not a tale of good versus evil. It is a dark and immersive exploration of how ordinary people become trapped in extraordinary brutality-and how some still try to hold on to their humanity. Praised for its emotional depth, historical accuracy, and powerful storytelling, Black Cattle is a must-read for readers who value serious historical fiction grounded in real-world history and cultural context.Black Cattle (original Dutch title: Kroesvee) was published in the Netherlands in 2019 and has since been reprinted three times. The novel is included in the literature list of the official historical Canon of the Netherlands (June 2020). It is the first of four standalone historical novels (Sons of Japheth series) about the Dutch and the slave trade in the 17th century.Paperback and hardback versions are provided with more than 60 beautiful black and white illustrations. A gripping novel of greed, loyalty, and survival in the brutal world of the seventeenth-century Dutch slave trade. This item is printed on demand.
