Wizard of the Crow. (Vintage) (Taschenbuch) von Ngugi wa Thiong'o, Ngugi wa Thiong'o   Synopsis: In exile for more than twenty years, Ngugi wa Thiong'o has become one of the most widely read African writers of our time, the power and scope of his work garnering him international attention and praise. His aim in "Wizard of the Crow" is, in his own words, nothing less than 'to sum up Africa of the twentieth century in the context of 2,000 years of world history.' Commencing in 'our times' and set in the 'Free Republic of Aburiria', the novel dramatises with corrosive humour and keenness of observation a battle for control of the souls of the Aburirian people. Fashioning the stories of the powerful and the ordinary into a dazzling mosaic, Ngugi reveals humanity in all its ceaselessly surprising complexity. Informed by richly enigmatic traditional African storytelling, "Wizard of the Crow" is a masterpiece, the crowning achievement in Ngugi wa Thiong'o's career thus far. a.areaLink, a.areaLink:visited { text-decoration: none; color: black; display: block; } .areaLink .innerLink { white-space: nowrap; text-decoration: underline; color: #039; } .crBlueBorder-tl { background: url( http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/G/03/x-locale/communities/reviews/border-box-tl.jpg) no-repeat top left; width: 1em; } .crBlueBorder-tc { background: url( http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/G/03/x-locale/communities/reviews/border-box-tc.jpg) repeat-x top; height: 1px; } .crBlueBorder-tr { background: url( http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/G/03/x-locale/communities/reviews/border-box-tr.jpg) no-repeat top right; width: 1em; } .crBlueBorder-bl { background: url( http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/G/03/x-locale/communities/reviews/border-box-bl.jpg) no-repeat bottom left; width: 1em; } .crBlueBorder-bc { background: url( http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/G/03/x-locale/communities/reviews/border-box-bc.jpg) repeat-x bottom; height: 1px; } .crBlueBorder-br { background: url( http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/G/03/x-locale/communities/reviews/border-box-br.jpg) no-repeat bottom right; height: 1em; } Rezensionen ansehen...   Angebote zu  Wizard ,  Crow ,  Vintage  ab 1 Euro!
