Company description::
During the course of this year’s television season, the popular primetime drama, “ER” depicted a journey to Africa. The two doctors in the storyline were bombarded with the cultural differences between Africa and the United States. It is debatable whether or not this dramatic television show reflects reality in that portion of the world. However, many television viewers were exposed to a version of what life may be like for people in this intriguingly complex culture. Author Thaddeus Agwo is an authentic representative of African culture and he has written a fascinating book about his life and heritage, titled The Mysterious Virtues of Paul Abanda.
This unique new novel is filled with the mysteries of village law practiced in a small African village. Thaddeus Agwo writes of his own coming of age in his African village, in an African city, and finally in America. The author’s multicultural background gives him a unique and global perspective on his own heritage. This book gives the reader the opportunity to share in Agwo’s experiences. It also allows us to immerse our minds in a world that may be completely foreign to our own. In the author’s own words, “I want, as my father did and my grandfather and his father, to conduct the current of my culture, to dispel darkness with the light of my history, to illuminate, in the best measure I can manage, what can be through what was. I want to honor my heritage and this book is one attempt.”
In a world that seems to shrink daily through the marvel of modern technology, it is imperative to familiarize ourselves with the true mysteries of other cultures. The Mysterious Virtues of Paul Abanda is an opportunity that should not be missed. This book is published by American Book Publishing and is available to order at stores near you. It is also available at a discount on the Publisher Direct Discount Bookstore’s website at http://www.pdbookstore.com.
