In Amnézia, well-known translator and poet Burton Raffel brings to life the story of a small South Pacific island nation, liberated from its colonial past for only a few decades. Its life is still primitive. The heroine is beautiful, fearless and gifted Francisca Nomadacoff, who has grown up like most Amnézians, without the slightest formal education. But her natural abilities have been honed to great effect by her father, a hunter of remarkable talent. Using only her own instincts and hard-earned authority, Francisca has lived her life with no time for or interest in men. Then civil war erupts between Alphaville, the nation's prosperous capitol, and the angry citizens of Amnézia. Francisca leads her people to victory, and is then elected governor of Alphaville, not realizing how much she and her world are truly on the road to modernization, and the great changes - and romance - that awaits her.
