There Was a Country
Book (italiano):
<DIV><b>From the legendary author of <i>Things Fall Apart</i>?a long-awaited memoir of coming of age in a fragile new nation, and its destruction in a tragic civil war</b><br><br> For more than forty years, Chinua Achebe has maintained a considered silence on the events of the Nigerian civil war, also known as the Biafran War, of 1967?1970, addressing them only obliquely through his poetry. Now, decades in the making, comes a towering account of one of modern Africa’s most disastrous events, from a writer whose words and courage have left an enduring stamp on world literature. A marriage of history and memoir, vivid firsthand observation and decades of research and reflection, <i>There Was a Country</i> is a work whose wisdom and compassion remind us of Chinua Achebe’s place as one of the great literary and moral voices of our age.</div>
