Product Description
Review
‘A masterly account…Marsden's compelling narrative is full of gems… “The Barefoot Emperor” 'warms the insides' in specifically Ethiopian ways. It's a triumph; a work of entirely unpredicted necessity.’ Independent
‘Compelling…a balanced, full-bodied account…of these extraordinary events…Marsden, an expert on Ethiopia, is also a gifted storyteller and his narrative has pace and, above all, suspense.’ Sunday Times
‘Marsden has done an amazing job of reconstruction… wonderfully strange.’ Daily Express
‘An amazing story…a page-turning narrative of a sort I haven't read in years.’ Spectator
‘Marsden has combined his outstanding skills as a travel writer - his intimate knowledge of a foreign clime, his instinctive sympathy for a lost culture, his wonderfully evocative, almost poetic prose style - with the research talents of a first-rate sleuth to produce a quite spellbinding work of historical biography ’ Sunday Telegraph
‘Marsden first visited Ethiopia in the 1980s; his understanding of the country is manifest on every page. His narrative … is beautifully paced, and his story is incredible.’ Daily Telegraph
