Benín es la parte que explica el todo africano. Tal y como cuenta Joan Riera en la presentación de la guía: "visitar Benín es como leer la edad de un tronco de árbol varias veces centenario. Al igual que los aros del arbol, las gentes, pueblos, mercados y paisajes son la historia viva del continente africano. Asi, uno no debe sorprenderse de las practicas rituales vudus de sus gentes, de sus tatuajes tribales o de las prendas coloristas de sus ropajes. Ademas esta la riqueza de su historia, presencia silenciosa de su pasado colonial. Ninguna otra costa africana simboliza tan bien la fusion de las culturas europea y africana.El rigor cientifico (el autor es antropologo), unido a su pasion y amor por el continente negro hacen de este libro no solo una guia de viajes, sino un acto inmenso de homenaje a un pueblo, el de Benin, que es paradigma de lo mas autentico de Africa.

Redactar una lista de las maravillas que aquí y allí pueblan Etiopía es una tarea ingente y a la vez inútil: nos dejaríamos demasiadas. ¡Hay tantas Etiopías en esta tierra milenaria! Pero aún no existe el pais que se resista a Rumbo a y los proyectos imposibles nos gustan especialmente. Vamos alla: las ruinas de los palacios en Axum y su relacion biblica con el rey Salomon; los imponentes castillos medievales de Gonder; las espectaculares montañas Simien; las increibles iglesias excavadas en roca viva de Lalibela; ¡las miticas fuentes del Nilo Azul!; los monasterios ortodoxos y la riqueza etnica de los valles del Omo y el Mago; las cataratas de Tis Isat; la ciudad prohibida de Harar No. Hemos fracasado: no se puede en una solapa transmitir tanta belleza.Mejor dejense guiar por la mano experta de Denberu Mekonen, que es el mas solido puente cultural entre Etiopia y nuestro pais, y hagan caso de la advertencia de Jose A. Pujante: nadie que haya pisado este pais ha vuelto siendo el mismo. Sentira la imperiosa necesidad espiritual de escuchar de nuevo su llamada, y volver.
