Petals of blood / Ngugi wa Thiong'o

Public ISBD Titre : Petals of blood Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Ngugi wa Thiong'o Editeur : London [England] : Penguin Books Année de publication : 2002 Collection : Penguin classics Importance : xix, 409 p. Présentation : ill.,couv.en coul Format : 20 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-14-118702-0 Note générale : Originally published: London : Heinemann Educational, 1977. Langues : Anglais Catégories : LITTERATURE ET LANGUE ANGLAISE:429 Old english ; LITTERATURE ET LANGUE ANGLAISE:828 English literature Index. décimale : 823.914 Résumé : The puzzling murder of three African directors of a foreign-owned brewery sets the scene for this fervent, hard-hitting novel about disillusionment in independent Kenya. A deceptively simple tale, Petals of Blood is on the surface a suspenseful investigation of a spectacular triple murder in upcountry Kenya. Yet as the intertwined stories of the four suspects unfold, a devastating picture emerges of a modern third-world nation whose frustrated people feel their leaders have failed them time after time. First published in 1977, this novel was so explosive that its author was imprisoned without charges by the Kenyan government. His incarceration was so shocking that newspapers around the world called attention to the case, and protests were raised by human- rights groups, scholars, and writers, including James Baldwin, Toni Morrison, Donald Barthelme, Harold Pinter, and Margaret Drabble.
