Uwe Timms grandioser, historischer Roman ›Morenga‹ Deutsch-Südwestafrika, 1904. Beginn eines erbarmungslosen Kolonialkrieges, den das Deutsche Kaiserreich gegen die aufständischen Herero und Hottentotten führt. An der Spitze der für ihre Freiheit kämpfenden Schwarzen steht Jakob Morenga, ein früherer Minenarbeiter. Was damals mehr als drei Jahre lang in dem heute unabhängigen Namibia geschah, hat Uwe Timm in einer Montage von historischen Dokumenten und fiktiven Aufzeichnungen des Oberveterinärs Gottschalk aus Hamburg zu einem grandiosen historischen Roman verdichtet.
