Translated by Yonas Tesfaye Woldetsadik

Sebeez is a notable literary work by Dr. Alemayehu Wassie Eshete, a prominent Ethiopian forest ecologist and author. Unlike his earlier “mystical novels” such as Emegua and Fikarie, Sebeez is a collection of real-life experiences. 

• Genre: It is described as a literary memoir or a collection of real-life experiences.
• Content: The book departs from his previous structured fictional narratives to present personal accounts gathered across different times and places throughout the author’s life.
• Themes: It often intertwines ecological scholarship with cultural heritage, reflecting the author’s deep connection to Ethiopia’s church forests and his personal intellectual journey.
• Translations: Originally written in Amharic, it has been translated into English as Sebeez: Translated from Amharic to English (published in early 2026).
