I AM JUSTICE: A JOURNEY OUT OF AFRICA

Book ID/图书代码： 11320008B29501

English Summary/英文概要： Eighty miles off the North African coast, a tiny fibreglass boat is sinking. The twenty-seven men crammed on board are desperately trying to bail it out, but the weather is closing in. Then one of them spots a ship on the horizon. They change course and head for their only hope of survival. But when they arrive, there’s an unexpected reception.

The men end up stranded on the floats of a giant fishing net as their boat finally rolls over and disappears beneath the Mediterranean Sea.

Justice Amin is exhausted, cold and soaked, but at least he has something to cling onto.

As night comes though, all hopes of rescue fade and Justice is left drifting in a hazy place between Africa and Europe, darkness and light, innocence and experience.

Justice’s journey began in Ghana, at the hands of his uncle, an abusive medicine man. Determined to make something of his life, he fled across the Sahara Desert, before being captured, jailed and tortured. After a time he managed to escape and headed for the people smugglers of Libya, who he hoped would sail him to freedom and prosperity across the sea to Britain, the ‘home country’.

Awards/获奖情况：Paul Kenyon has written a beautiful book which carries the agony and hope of Africa in every page. It is a powerful story and told in clear and unpretentious prose. A book for our times.---Fergal Keane

I read Paul’s book with considerable emotion, and found it very moving. His understanding of and empathy with the characters in this extraordinary book is hugely impressive. There are small-scale,everyday, easily ignored tragedies usually unreported, on the doorstep of our lives. Paul Kenyon’s understanding of people whom often suffer and die in their efforts to reach a promised land is remarkable. We owe it to them to find out more about the process that makes them want to escape from Africa to Europe. Kenyon’s book with its clear insights is the finest way.---John Simpson

“本書將非洲人民的疾苦和希望表達得淋漓盡致，行文有力而不做作，可謂一部時代巨作。”---BBC記者弗格·金(Fergal Keane)

“書中文字感情飽滿，讀者可將作者與主人公的共鳴一覽無遺。書中描繪了鮮為人知、無人關切的非洲人民的疾苦。作者充分表達了他們心中的嚮往，讓讀者瞭解到他們的真實心聲。此作真正做到了洞悉世間冷暖。”---BBC國際事務編輯約翰·辛普森（JOHN SIMPSON）
Saturday Telegraph 23/05: ’... This is an enchanting book rich with the vibrancy and tragedy of Africa - where hope is constantly eroded by despair. It is a testament to the power of the printed word as a medium for foreign reporting. Kenyon has woven a magic in this book that makes TV look inadequate by comparison.’ Independent on Sunday 03/05: ‘Kenyon recounts Justice’s story – a fantastical, miraculous story – with tenderness. I Am Justice is a book which could soften the heart of even the most rabid Daily Mail reader.’ http://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/profiles/first-person-i-almost-died-trying-to-reach-europe-1676212.html http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/books/reviews/i-am-justice-a-journey-out-of-africa-by-paul-kenyonbr-harare-north-by-brian-chikwava-1676230.html
