Produktinformationen zu „An African Elegy (ePub)“
This moving poetry collection from the Booker Prize-winning author finds strength and hope while reflecting on the complex issues that have burdened Africa.
First published in 1992, Ben Okri's remarkable debut collection features poems that are now considered classics and taught in schools and universities worldwide. Here he plays with the mystique of the African continent, countering simplistic narratives of suffering that have been imposed on it with vibrant, nuanced portraits of the traditions and resilience of African peoples. An invaluable window onto Okri's experiences as a Nigerian immigrant to the United Kingdom and as a writer discovering his calling, these poems also speak to universal truths about love, injustice, and the search for meaning.
