Mathématiques congolaises

by In Koli Jean Bofane

 
In a very troubled Kinshasa, Célio could have continued his sorry journey longer still, if it hadn´t been for his encounter with the director of an office whose activities were very confidential, linked to the Presidency of the Republic. The hunger was enough of an incentive to render the debate over good and evil irrelevant. Nothing is for free in this town, the young man knows this, and he takes there the occasion to join the elite circle of modern sorcerers who manipulate beings and everyday life.

Orphan since one of the wars which ravaged the country, Célio keeps a school book, discovered in the bag of his murdered father at random by a runaway. It´s thanks to the theorems and definitions that Célio Mathématik hopes to influence his destiny, of which he feels he is only the puppet.
