DEVIL ON THE CROSS

Book ID/图书代码： 10581010B40447

English Summary/英文概要： This remarkable and symbolic novel centers around Wariinga’s tragedy and uses it to tell a story of contemporary Kenya faced with the "satan of capitalism." Ngugi has directed his writing even more firmly towards the commitment that he shows in Writers in Politics and Detained: A Writer’s Prison Diary. The novel was written secretly in prison on the only available material -- lavatory paper. It was discovered when almost complete but unexpectedly returned to him on his release. Such was the demand for the original Gikuyu edition that it reprinted on publication.

One of the most powerful critiques of modern Kenya ever written. Ngugi highlights the greed and ‘Satan capitalism’ prevalent in contemporary society. Ngugi wrote Devil on the Cross whilst detained, without trial, by a government hoping to silence him.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 这本象征性小说围绕沃利加（Wariinga）的悲剧展开，并借其为我们讲述了一个当代肯尼亚资本主义魔鬼的故事。即使身陷囹圄，哪怕只能用草纸，只能偷偷摸摸，作者依然没有放弃，写下了《狱中日记》。虽然中途险些被发现被缴，最终这份手稿还是在恢复自由时回到了作者手中。(兼职翻译-XJJ)
