A Journey Into A World Beneath (eBook, ePUB)

Beschreibung

A Journey Into A World Beneath is briefly sizzled with romance of old times. From the beginning, you are bound to feel being part of the characters in the story. Sure enough, you will travel the journey and explore too, for out of the tale, rises the living story...
The Journey into a world beneath is based on a true legend that lives around the small lake on the heights of the Mau. The Mau rises from the Western side of The Great Rift and drops all the way to the Lake Victoria. It provides the water that feeds Lake Victoria and thus the River Nile. Mau heights hold some of the world's largest craters. The heights rise well over 9,000 feet above sea level. The story centers on one of the heights which is the Timboroa peak. Timboroa is a real place. To its westerly side lie the heights of the Nandi Hills where the Nandi warriors battled the British for ten years until when their leader was murdered in cold blood by a British soldier. These heights have their own story. It is also where the Maa fought the Nandi for grazing grounds. But the legend here has naught to do with the wars. Nature has a way of demonstrating its power to man. When traveling up North in Kenya, remember to look out the window of your vehicle while at at the Timboroa heights, for to your right, ten meters from the road, lies our lake. You can't miss it if you are an observant traveler. If you have time, you could alight and ask around, for the legend still lives on!

Autor

Will Anthony Jr. is currently the Chairman of the Uasin Gishu County Land Control Board which caters for over one million people. Before this stint, he worked in other capacities with the National government. He has also been lecturer in three religious institutions, a service to the youth to gather knowledge from the aging population. In his life time, Will Anthony Jr. says he has met a lot of people and can unflinchingly say that he loved most of them. Why most of them? Well, it is a tall order to love everyone you meet! Will Anthony Jr. has written several e-books touching on diverse subjects that relate to society. The books extensively cover human social and economic practices and this is so because expertise in one field in Africa can become a drudgery according to his practical view. His perception is that if you were born in Africa and the continent is your aboriginal home, you are likely to have English as your second language (ESL). Sometimes it could even be a third language. For him, he had to learn his mother tongue then learn both English and Swahili simultaneously. He went to his pre-primary bare foot, later he joined the local primary school 5 Km away and had to trek barefoot again not because his parents could not buy him shoes but because cobblers were a rare find. That journey was a daily toil of 10 Km, 5 days in a week or ~270 days yearly for 7 years. With a smirk he says that when you achieve a PhD in Africa, then You have done Plenty of hard Digging (PhD) or you have a Permanent head Damage (PhD) and you might end up in a ditch because your IQ cannot contain the booze like the local fellas!
"Why did the English colonize Africa?" To keep the African languages in Czech (check), and he says that one must forgive this pun. But besides the pun, English has broken both social and economic barriers of the once "dark continent" whose forefathers slaved the white farms and firms to lace the pockets of their Lords.
A PhD holder in Africa will still practice other 'trades' though they maybe 'very' learned because poverty is shameless, one has to draw bounds through plenty of smart work or else, it will be a shame to steal so as to maintain class.
He published a book in 1992, but the publisher coned him , he took her to court and the case aged in judicial corridors for 12 years. He then made a decision to abandon the matter and to forget about writing books. However, Self publishing made him to change that decision. More tha...
