Book ID/图书代码: 10581010B40448
English Summary/英文概要: This is a simple and powerful tale of the effects of the Mau Mau war on individuals and families in Kenya. Two brothers must decide where their loyalties lie; Njoroge, the dreamer and accomplished student, finds it hard to give up schooling and is drawn relentlessly into turmoil. Good and evil are portrayed somewhat more starkly than in Ngugi’s later works.
An extraordinary story about the effects of the Mau Mau war on the lives of ordinary men and women in Kenya. Two brothers, Kamau, an apprentice carpenter, and Njoroge need to decide where their loyalties lie. For the practical man, the choice is simple, but for Njoroge, the scholar, the dream of progress through learning is a hard one to give up.
