Descripción
Ruta por el norte de Etiopía
Prólogo de Javier Reverte
Ricardo Artigas Coarasa, journalist, es licenciado en Derecho y Periodismo.
Behind the country of famine and drought lies a fascinating and unknown history that decades of wars and misfortunes could not delete. El “país de las caras quemadas” para los griegos, the only African state that has not been colonized, able to defeat a European army in the battlefield, the right to try to soar. For the Spanish, also, la antigua Abisinia es la tierra de Pedro Páez, Spanish, el primer europeo que contempló las fuentes del Nilo Azul, y a quien el escocés James Bruce usurpó ese honor autoproclamándose el descubridor de las mismas. On the ashes of a forgotten empire, XXI century Ethiopia struggles to find the path to prosperity. Is, certainly, an arduous task, but a nation with such historical foundation has earned an opportunity.
This book is, somewhat, an act of love for a great country, an outstanding debt to the friendliness of its people, with past ignored, also, a modest gesture of atonement as a holder against awful. Ethiopia does not deserve that stigma.
“Cualquier viajero que se aventure por los caminos del norte de Etiopía debería llevar en la mochila este libro de Coarasa, si es que quiere entender los territorios que recorre” (Javier Reverte).
