- Seller's Description:
- New York. 1994. New Press. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Slightly Worn Dustjacket. ISBN: 156584162x. 247 pages. hardcover. Jacket Illustration By Debbie Lush. Jacket Design By Charles Nix. FROM THE PUBLISHER-PARADISE is at once the story of an African boy's coming of age, a tragic love story, and a tale of the corruption of traditional African patterns by European colonialism, It presents a major African voice to American readers—a voice that prompted Peter Tinniswood to write in the London Times, reviewing Gurnah's previous novel, ‘Mr. Gurnah is a very fine writer. I am certain he will become a great one, ‘PARADISE is Abdulrazak Gurnah's great novel. At twelve, Yusuf, the protagonist of this twentieth-century odyssey, is sold by his father in repayment of a debt. From the simple life of rural Africa, Yusuf is thrown into the complexities of precolonial urban East Africa—a fascinating world in which Muslim black Africans, Christian missionaries, and Indians from the subcontinent coexist in a fragile, subtle social hierarchy. Through the eyes of Yusuf, Gurnah depicts communities at war, trading safaris gone awry, and the universal trials of adolescence. Then, just as Yusuf begins to comprehend the choices required of him, he and everyone around him must adjust to the new reality of European colonialism. The result is a page-turning saga that covers the same territory as the novels of Isak Dinesen and William Boyd, but does so from a perspective never before available on that seldom-chronicled part of the world. Abdulrazak Gurnah was born in 1948 in Zanzibar and is the author of MEMORY OF DEPARTURE. He teaches literature at the University of Kent in Canterbury, England. inventory #20692.
