Houseboy by Ferdinand Oyono
Toundi Ondoua, the rural African protagonist of Houseboy, encounters a world of prisms that cast beautiful but unobtainable glimmers, especially for a black youth in colonial Cameroon. Houseboy, written in the form of Toundi's captivating diary and translated from the original French, discloses his awe of the white world and a web of unpredictable experiences. Early on, he escapes his father's angry blows by seeking asylum with his benefactor, the local European priest who meets an untimely death. Toundi then becomes "the Chief European's 'boy'--the dog of the King." Toundi's attempt to fulfill a dream of advancement and improvement opens his eyes to troubling realities. Gradually, preconceptions of the Europeans come crashing down on him as he struggles with his identity, his place in society, and the changing culture.

The science of Becoming Rich by Joshu...
Introducing to you the new book: The Science of Becoming Rich with a sub title Creative Thinking, the alternative option for financial success.
Whereas money is a key issue in this book, mind attitude is the underlying dominant factor. It describes a journey toward a destination.
This book explores critical areas that relate to human attitude to issues in life, with a view to bringing in new thinking that imparts change for success in life.
The book contemplates impressing into the inner mind, a thinking process that would make the individual learn to focus on the positive driving forces in life like faith, self confidence, determination, persistence, decisiveness, patience and many others. By so doing, this thinking process weakens the destructive power of the negative inhibiting forces such as doubt, indecision, fear, worry, intimidation, bitterness and the like, which work in the mind as resistance blocks to any progress. These divert the potential productive energy from taking action positively. By developing the positive driving forces the reader will open their minds to the opportunities around, which will make new mental skills grow and achieve according to their expectations.
