Reseña del editor:
Set in a tribal village during the years of the Idi Amin terror in Uganda, Abyssinian Chronicles takes us into the heart of Africa, vividly immersing us in the mesmerizing extremes of beauty and brutality, wisdom and ignorance, wealth and poverty, hope and despair that define the continent today. We come to intimately know an extended family rich in centuries-old tradition, and follow the unsentimental education of the boy who takes it all in, who learns, observes and teaches, and starts to feel the very earth moving under the African experience and the people he loves. Filled with extraordinary characters, animated by a wicked sense of humour and guided by intense, clear-eyed compassion, this novel feels at once classic and unique. `As Rushdie's Midnight's Children was for modern India, Abyssinian Chronicles will likely prove to be a breakthrough book for Uganda' Time Out US `A spectacular first novel. Epic, sprawling, brimming with life - and death' Elle US

Descripción Condición: Good. The voice we hear is that of Mugezi, a quick-witted, sharp-eyed man whose life encompasses the ancient and the modern, peace and insane violence, despotism and democracy. Born in a rural village in the early 1960's, coming of age in the captial city of Cakmpala, he serves in the army, marries, divorces, and in 1985 emigrates to the Netherlands. Through him we witness the quotidian richness of Ugandan life as well as its most brutal political horrors. Revolution, and the reign of Idi Amin and its chaotic aftermath, act as the backdrop to Mugezi's life and to the wider drama of family, friends, and foes, in both Uganda and the Netherlands. Mugezi is a brilliant creation: a wise and droll interpreter of his life and times. Isegawa's tale is unforgettable, a windon on Uganda's recent history, a journey of exploration into the nature of love and of power, and our introduction to a superlative new writer. heavy 480 pages.
