Hardback. Etat : New. Hanibal (1697- 1761) was probably the most outstanding African in Europe in the 18th Century, his rags to riches life, and the fact that he was the great-grandfather of Russia's greatest writer, Alexander Pushkin, makes him of even greater interest. Now finally appearing in English, this was the book, based on original research, which proved fairly conclusively that Hanibal (sometimes spelt Gannibal in English) was born in Logone-Birni, in present day Cameroon rather than, as was supposed, in Ethiopia. This book recounts his life story. He was taken as a slave to Istanbul and then to Russia at the age of 8 where Tsar Peter the Great adopted and educated him. He was sent to study mathematics and military engineering in France, where he joined the French army fighting against Spain and was promoted to the rank of captain. Back in Russia, he was promoted but briefly exiled to Siberia where he designed fortresses on the frontier. His first marriage was a disaster but he went on to marry a Swedish aristocrat with whom he had seven children, one of whom, Osip, was to be the grandfather of Pushkin. There were moments in his life when he suffered for being black, yet he ended his life as a pillar of the Russian aristocracy, even owning serfs. Hanibal's contribution to the technical advancement of the Russian army was huge. He was commander-in-chief, director of fortifications, and head of the engineering corps. In 1725-26 he published an important text book on geometry and fortification for engineering students and introduced the study of civil engineering into the Russian schools of military engineering.

Couverture souple. Etat : Très bon. in-8 br. (15 x 22,5), 287 p., Numéro spécial de Présence Africaine, 40 illustrations h.-t., très bon état."Aurai-je un jour ma liberté ? Il est temps, grand temps : je l'implore Au bord de mer j'attends le vent ; Je fais signe aux voiles marines. Sous le suroît défiant les flots, Quand prendrai-je mon libre essor Au libre carrefour des mers ? Il faut fuir les bords ennuyeux D'un élément qui m'est hostile Et sous le ciel de mon Afrique Sous les houles du Midi Regretter la sombre Russie Où j'ai souffert, où j'ai aimé, Où j'ai enseveli mon cur" (Alexandre Pouchkine). Né à Moscou le 6 juin 1799 dans une famille de la noblesse russe, Alexandre Pouchkine était aussi l'arrière-petit-fils d'un Africain célèbre dans l'histoire militaire et technique russe, Abraham Petrovitch Hanibal (1696-1781). De fait, bien que Russe, Pouchkine avait une partie de ses racines en Afrique noire. Les liens entre Pouchkine et le monde noir sont innombrables et leurs points de rencontre sont parfois inattendus. La revue Présence Africaine ne pouvait rester indifférente au Bicentenaire de la naissance du fondateur de la littérature russe moderne, qui aimait l'Afrique et la revendiquait comme sa seconde patrie.
