Ousman Umar tells his own story: he grew up in a savanna village in Ghana and, as a boy, seeing a plane fly over, he wanted to see the world. At thirteen he set out for Europe, the Land of the Whites, crossing the Sahara on foot and the sea in a small boat, and it took him four years to reach Spain.

Who it's for
For readers of memoirs and true stories about African migration to Europe, told plainly in the first person. Some passages about death and suffering on the way are hard to read.
Why people still read it
Journalists such as Julia Otero, Gemma Nierga and Ana Pastor recommended it, and La Vanguardia noted how plainly he tells what he lived through.

Written with the help of AI from Open Library and todostuslibros, without giving away the ending, and reviewed by a person.

Why we only look at used copies

In Spain, Law 10/2007 fixes the price of new books: the publisher sets it and shops can only take 5% off. Amazon, FNAC and your local bookshop all cost the same. The only place the price moves is second-hand.
