Kurzbeschreibung
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.

Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
If Ngugi were to stop writing today, I would say THE WIZARD OF THE CROW crowmed his writing history as his masterpiece. The ideas in the book are broad-ranged and are brought out through characters that deep, alive and imposing. The Republic where the story is set can be any of the many Sub-Saharan countries that have been hijacked by people of the evil disposition (the local kleptocrats, blood-thirsty maniacs and their foreign backers).
WIZARD OF THE CROW says what other titles like Triple Agent Double Cross, The Beautiful Ones are not yet born, Disciples of Fortune, 1984; did not completely say. In short it brings African literature again to the spot light. I recently read The Usurper and Others, Half of a Yellow Sun. In short, there are beautiful African writings out there that are very insightful.
