Mou-Setsé: A Negro Hero; The Orphans' Pilgimage: A Story of Trust in God
1880
Two journeys. Two continents. One unshakable faith in survival. Mou-Setsé, son of a chief in a West African village, knows nothing of the "civilisation" the English speak of, but he knows his mother's love and his father's pride. That world shatters when slave traders burn his village and sell him into bondage. Years of brutal captivity follow, but Mou-Setsé never loses his courage or his hope, and when freedom finally comes, he dedicates his life to freeing others who suffer as he did. Parallel to his story runs the tale of three Austrian orphans: Toni, Hans, and Nanny. Left penniless after their parents' death, they must cross perilous mountain terrain to find a grandfather they've never met, surviving on faith and determination alone. These interweaving narratives, published in 1880, offer something remarkable for their era: an African protagonist whose heroism rivals any European adventurer's, and a quiet insistence that children of any background possess extraordinary inner strength.
