Perhaps they are tormented ghosts who cannot find rest. All three have been expelled in some way, sent on solitary journeys into the night. Celestino, an old slave trader, returns to the solitude of his home and garden after a life of horrors. Boa Morte da Silva, an Angolan who served on the Portuguese side in the Colonial War and has become a valet in Lisbon, writes endlessly to his daughter, asking for her forgiveness. And Bruma, an enslaved man, initiates a young writer, Eça de Queirós, into the world of literature. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn discrete yet overlapping tales, Djaimilia Pereira de Almeida's \u003ci\u003eThree Stories of Forgetting \u003c\/i\u003eexplores the experiences of those who live within the legacies of slavery, colonialism, and the Portuguese Empire. In these unstable chapters, we find incarnations of our despair at the questions that history does not answer, and allegories that may yet reveal new ways of seeing through the dark.","brand":"Alison Entrekin, Djaimilia Pereira de Almeida","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47285177417964,"sku":"9780374612092","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0684\/1791\/3068\/files\/9780374612092.jpg?v=1770399417","url":"https:\/\/intl.allstora.com\/products\/three-stories-of-forgetting","provider":"Allstora","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
