Guerra de Biafra. Posterior creació de Metges sense fronteres. ( ![]() "El món va callar mentre nosaltres moríem" La història de la guerra del Biafra. Els personatges són: dues germanes bessones d'una família molt rica que vivia a Lagos, l'intel·lectual, professor de matemàtiques a la Universitat de Nsukka, un anglès que vol escriure un llibre i el noi Ugwu.
While there are disturbing scenes, the writing is superb, and Adichie puts a human face on war-torn Africa. The characters are authentic, the story is compelling. It is a worthwhile read, which will linger in your thoughts long after you turn the last page. Pertany a aquestes col·leccions editorialsContingut aTé l'adaptacióHa inspirat
A haunting story of love and war from the best-selling author of Americanah and We Should All Be Feminists. With effortless grace, celebrated author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie illuminates a seminal moment in modern African history: Biafra's impassioned struggle to establish an independent republic in southeastern Nigeria during the late 1960s. We experience this tumultuous decade alongside five unforgettable characters: Ugwu, a thirteen-year-old houseboy who works for Odenigbo, a university professor full of revolutionary zeal; Olanna, the professor's beautiful young mistress who has abandoned her life in Lagos for a dusty town and her lover's charm; and Richard, a shy young Englishman infatuated with Olanna's willful twin sister Kainene. Half of a Yellow Sun is a tremendously evocative novel of the promise, hope, and disappointment of the Biafran war. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
