About the Book

In the jungle of animals, where everyone is compelled to live on edge, not knowing what to expect the next moment, misfortunes and sufferings of all types,when they befall individuals, are accepted as a natural and blessed necessity for the continuation and sustaining of life. Once in a while, however, this rule is overturned in the anguish of the pain caused by such a dreadful reality. In Jungle Revolt, the merciless slaughter of the family of Mr Pig before his own very eyes compels him, in his humbleness, to dare this long established and fast rule of the survival of the fittest in the jungle. And notwithstanding the obviously formidable challenges to such an unprecedented undertaking, he manages, at the expense of his own life, to shake the foundations of the rule leaving behind a lasting legacy that does not necessarily annul the rule, but brings relief to many. Jungle revolt tries to explain a peculiar and age old human phenomenon. On account of different abilities and natures, stronger human beings tend to lord it on the weaker ones who, on account of their weakness are generally resigned to the undesirable fate. Occasionally, however, because of this unpleasant reality, these weak ones stand up in revolt, yearning for a better life, and even though they may not reap exactly what they desire, their situation, compelled by a Higher Power could not be exactly the same again.


About the Author

The author, born in 1976 in the north western regional headquarters of Bamenda, Cameroon, grew up to quickly notice the great disparity in the fortunes of different people in his society, and the world at large, and became interested to understand the explanation of this disparity which, in this piece, he does not take as much interest in the cause of the disparity as in the reaction of the less privileged, which he believes must come one day, and the resultant consequence of such a reaction when it does come. He is also the author of the renown NELSON MANDELA: A Purpose fulfilled.
