Pilgrimage of Gold: The Memoirs of Mansa Musa (In Their Own Voices: Unfiltered Histories) - Softcover
Synopsis
“My caravan glittered like sunrise on the Niger—yet even mountains of gold could not equal the weight of faith that drew me toward Mecca.”
Step into fourteenth-century West Africa through the eyes of the Lion of Mali, the wealthiest ruler the world has ever known. Pilgrimage of Gold lets Mansa Musa himself recount his legendary Hajj of 1324—an odyssey so lavish it shook the economies of empires.
Born of the Keita dynasty and heir to Sunjata’s legacy, Musa guides you from bustling Niani through the blistering Sahara to the luminous courts of Cairo and the Holy Cities of Islam. Witness the diplomatic chess of gifting gold enough to dazzle sultans, the spiritual surrender of circling the Kaaba, and the daring vision that turned Mali into a beacon of scholarship, architecture, and trade on his return. Feel the tension of governing a realm that stretches from salt mines to forest goldfields, the humility of a king who kneels before God, and the thunderous pride of a people who call him “Mansa of Mansas.”
Part of the In Their Own Voices: Unfiltered Histories series, this immersive historical memoir weaves meticulous scholarship with cinematic first-person storytelling. Perfect for readers of narrative nonfiction, African history, Islamic studies, and epic quest tales.
“A magnificent blend of gold-dust spectacle and heartfelt devotion—I could taste the desert and hear the griots.” – Early Reader Review
