Motorsoul
The brutality and vitality of a world which we know nothing about is presented, in its rawest form, in four stories set in four African countries: Namibia, Congo, Senegal and Rwanda. It is a book about invisible Africa, with one common thread: Motorsoul. Abuse and violence, illness, heroic acts, religion, hope, magic and superstition unite and destroy communities, families and people in this action-packed novel. "Motorsoul is the intangible, primitive energy that ultimately moves human beings. Motorsoul makes us all equal, it cannot be dominated by our will and it reveals itself under the worst possible circumstances. Motorsoul never leaves us: it is our nature.” This is how the author defines Motorsoul, the thing that ultimately makes you react before making a quick decision. Are you sure you're acting with your brain?
