Der Literaturnobelpreisträger von 2021 erstmals als ungekürzte Lesung. Sansibar, Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts: Der zwölfjährige Yusuf lebt mit seiner Familie im ländlichen Ostafrika. Als der Vater sich verschuldet, wird der Junge an einen Gläubiger verkauft, an "Onkel Aziz". Von einem Tag auf den anderen landet er in der Stadt, zwischen afrikanischen Muslimen, christlichen Missionaren und Indern vom Subkontinent.

Quand ses parents annoncent à Yusuf, douze ans, qu'il va partir séjourner quelque temps chez son oncle Aziz, il est enchanté. Prendre le train, découvrir une grande ville, quel bonheur pour lui qui n'a jamais quitté son village de Tanzanie. Il ne comprend pas tout de suite que son père l'a vendu afin de rembourser une dette trop lourde - et qu'Aziz n'est pas son oncle, mais un riche marchand qui a besoin d'un esclave de plus chez lui.
