Plains covered with parched, thorny shrubs and vast extensions of sandy ground seem ablaze in a shimmering haze that refracts on the journalist’s eyes forcing him to squint. “Water and shade, such fluid, inconstant things, and the two most valuable treasures in Africa”, this half-historian, half-journalist recalls while revisiting the thirty years he spent roaming the most recondite spots of this battered continent castigated both by man and the most hostile aspect of nature. A place where its people are one with its arid terrain, blinding light and spicy smells. A place where the night belongs to myth and spirits, where time stretches and melts without shape or tempo. A place where history does not exist in archives or records because it can only be measured by memory, by what can be recounted here and now. So I sit down next to Ryszard and I listen to his chronicle.

Her family was not part of the privileged Raffles Hotel set, with their big houses and servants. Her father worked in construction, building roads, the city’s hospital and a mosque. Olga and her siblings grew up in Johor Bahru, a diverse part of Malaya just across the causeway from Singapore, amongst children of all faiths and cultures, who played together without a thought to race or class. It was a very happy upbringing.Zhabei: businessmen in, 46; Great Way Government jurisdiction over, 170; industry in, 21, 23; refugees from, 52; war in, 20, 21 Southeast Asia: British colonialism in, 252; distribution of medical manual in, 80n33; market for Chinese goods, 35, 54; market for New Asia Pharmaceutical Company, 68; New Asia sales agencies in, 70, 78; and the rubber industry, 29; source of rice, 125, 126, 126n49 The Heelstone's shadow is now visible on the grass, and the tip of the shadow on Stone 30 has moved to the right

Olga and her friends bravely raided the vegetable plot; “dodging the searchlights” and sometimes enduring severe punishments. She stood alongside the other women and children through the ordeal of Tenko in the blazing sun. They were used as slave labour. Halfway through their captivity, Olga’s ten-year-old brother William was put into the men’s camp, where he suffered terrible cruelty that scarred him for life. From a geopolitical point of view, this denomination of Land of the Rising Sun was an opportunity for the Japanese authorities to assert their stature against China thanks to their privileged position facing the solar star . But it seems important to us to specify here to what extent the sun is an essential symbol of the archipelago due to the preponderant place it occupies in Japanese mythology.Chongqing: as center of journalism and culture, 86, 347; government, 187–88, 200, 202; New Asia Pharmaceutical Company offices in, 69–70; and Shanghai economy, 4, 5.
