Una raccolta di storie africane, di grande forza evocativa, in cui il magico realismo di Ben Okri, insignito del ''Booker Prize'' nel 1991, ci dà la chiave di lettura del travagliato sviluppo di un continente. Un intenso scenario africano dove la gente mantiene ancora forti legami con la cultura e la religione animista dei villaggi. Sotto un sole implacabile o nella stagione delle piogge, la vita a Lagos è intensa, a volte drammatica, ma ricca di calda umanità e anche di poesia. La narrazione travalica il reale, giungendo inarrestabile in un universo onirico intessuto delle mitologie ancestrali che abitano l'anima e l'immaginario del popolo nigeriano.
