Description

Mulheres de Cinza e o primeiro livro de uma trilogia sobre os derradeiros dias do chamado Estado de Gaza, o segundo maior imperio em Africa dirigido por um africano. Ngungunyane (ou Gungunhane, como ficou conhecido pelos portugueses) foi o ultimo de uma serie de imperadores que governou metade do territorio de Mocambique. Derrotado em 1895 pelas forcas portuguesas comandadas por Mouzinho de Albuquerque, Ngungunyane foi deportado para os Acores onde veio a morrer em 1906. Os seus restos mortais ter?o sido trasladados para Mocambique em 1985. Existem, no entanto, vers?es que sugerem que n?o foram as ossadas do imperador que voltaram dentro da urna. Foram torr?es de areia. Do grande adversario de Portugal restam areias recolhidas em solo portugues. Esta narrativa e uma recreac?o ficcional inspirada em factos e personagens reais.
