Detailed information

Product detailed description

The second installment of a gripping trilogy about slavery and the struggle to abolish it in the 18th century. The year is 1787. Josef and Alma have arrived in Saint-Domingue, following the trail of the ship Sweet Amelia and its elusive treasure. But Alma has only one goal: she wants to find her younger brother, Lama. While she searches for him among the thousands of slaves struggling to survive on the sugarcane plantations and cotton fields of Louisiana, Josef crosses the Atlantic once again. There is talk of riots in London. The power of Versailles in France is waning. Although Alma and Josef had to part ways, their journeys constantly remind them of what binds them together. The second part of a grand story about the most important things –⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and above all, about freedom: both the freedom we see around us and the freedom we carry within ourselves, our own freedom and that of others.

Baobab Bookshop in Tábor

Baobab is a small family-run publishing house founded at the turn of the millennium in Prague’s Vinohrady district by Juraj Horváth and Tereza Horváthová. What began as a passion for artist’s books and bibliophile editions has grown into one of the leading Czech publishers of illustrated books for children.

The name refers to the baobab tree – a symbol of resilience, creativity, and community. Like the tree, their publishing work provides shelter for stories and connects generations through imagination and craftsmanship.

Baobab focuses on contemporary illustrated books, collaborating with prominent illustrators, writers, and designers. Their books balance poetic storytelling, visual inventiveness, and educational value while maintaining a distinctive artistic voice.

Beyond publishing, Baobab organizes cultural events and exhibitions, such as the Baobabí léto and Tabook festivals, and runs bookshops and galleries in Prague and Tábor. They foster a creative community around illustration, literature, and independent publishing.

In 2011, Baobab founded the Miroslav Šašek Foundation, reviving his legendary This is... travel series and supporting illustrators through annual grants and residencies. The publishing house continues to bridge heritage, education, and contemporary visual storytelling.
