Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
The amazing, shocking, and true autobiography of a trans-Atlantic slave trader who plied the slave trade between Africa and Cuba for twenty years from 1820 to 1840. Dealing forthrightly with all aspects of this trade in humans, the book starts with a small biographical background before moving in to the core of his story, which can be divided into five major sections: how Africans were captured, how they were transported, how they were "unloaded" at their destination, how the European powers attempted to halt the trade, and finally, the role of the Arab Muslim slavers in the awful business. Canot's book contains many revelations which have traditionally been obscured in other accounts of the trans-Atlantic slave trade, namely that the Africans had in face been enslaved by their own people first and then just sold on to the foreign slavers, that the slave traders faced fierce physical attempts by the British, the French, and other European powers to halt the inhuman trade, and that the Arab Muslim slavers in Africa were, along with the Africans themselves, the main drivers of the capture and availability of Africans for the slave markets in both the East and West. It is a breath-taking book that has lost none of its emotional power since its first publication. Completely reset and contains all the original illustrations.

This book is a result of an effort made by us towards making a contribution to the preservation and repair of original classic literature. In an attempt to preserve, improve and recreate the original content, we have worked towards: 1. Type-setting & Reformatting: The complete work has been re-designed via professional layout, formatting and type-setting tools to re-create the same edition with rich typography, graphics, high quality images, and table elements, giving our readers the feel of holding a 'fresh and newly' reprinted and/or revised edition, as opposed to other scanned & printed (Optical Character Recognition - OCR) reproductions. 2. Correction of imperfections: As the work was re-created from the scratch, therefore, it was vetted to rectify certain conventional norms with regard to typographical mistakes, hyphenations, punctuations, blurred images, missing content/pages, and/or other related subject matters, upon our consideration. Every attempt was made to rectify the imperfections related to omitted constructs in the original edition via other references. However, a few of such imperfections which could not be rectified due to intentional\unintentional omission of content in the original edition, were inherited and preserved from the original work to maintain the authenticity and construct, relevant to the work. We believe that this work holds historical, cultural and/or intellectual importance in the literary works community, therefore despite the oddities, we accounted the work for print as a part of our continuing effort towards preservation of literary work and our contribution towards the development of the society as a whole, driven by our beliefs. We are grateful to our readers for putting their faith in us and accepting our imperfections with regard to preservation of the historical content. HAPPY READING!
