![]() ![]() Author: Laye Camara Publisher: Tulemond L'incontro con il serpente nero, genio della famiglia paterna, č il ricordo con cui Camara Laye dā inizio al suo romanzo autobiografico. Da qui, a tappe, la giovinezza del protagonista viene raccontata attraverso una scrittura emotivamente puntuale, ripercorrendo i momenti di passaggio che hanno costruito la sua identitā. 'Un bambino nero' č il romanzo autobiografico che Camara Laye scrive per raccontare la sua giovinezza trascorsa in Guinea. I ricordi dell'autore mostrano la cultura guineana nella ricchezza delle sue tradizioni, come ideale risposta ai discorsi di inferioritā culturale e ai pregiudizi che circolavano nell'Europa dell'epoca. Scritto nel 1953, diventato testo cardine delle letterature africane, oggi č studiato nelle scuole dei paesi francofoni dell'Africa occidentale. € 18,00

![]() ![]() Author: Bailey Geoffrey N. (EDT), Hardy Karen (EDT), Camara Abdoulaye (EDT) Publisher: Oxbow Books Ltd Shell middens are ubiquitous archaeological features on coastlines throughout the world that have been variously analysed and interpreted as mounds of food, burial places, or simply as convenient receptacles for the preservation of stratified remains. This volume brings together information about little known, or recently discovered, concentrations of shell mounds in areas including Africa, the near East, South-east Asia and the Americas as well as new work on mounds in the classic areas including Denmark, the Pacific NW coast and Japan. Discussions are presented on new approaches to interpretation involving the use of ethnographic studies, analysis of molluscs, the use of shell as a raw material for making atefacts and in construction, and the variable formation processes associated with mound formation. € 79,50

![]() ![]() Author: Laye Camara, Kirkup James (TRN), Morrison Toni (INT) Publisher: New York Review of Books At the beginning of this masterpiece of African literature, Clarence, a white man, has been shipwrecked on the coast of Africa. Flush with self-importance, he demands to see the king, but the king has just left for the south of his realm. Traveling through an increasingly phantasmagoric landscape in the company of a beggar and two roguish boys, Clarence is gradually stripped of his pretensions, until he is sold to the royal harem as a slave. But in the end Clarence’s bewildering journey is the occasion of a revelation, as he discovers the image, both shameful and beautiful, of his own humanity in the alien splendor of the king. € 16,10

![]() ![]() Author: Laye Camara, Kirkup James, Jones Ernest Publisher: Farrar Straus & Giroux The Dark Child is a distinct and graceful memoir of Camara Laye's youth in the village of Koroussa, French Guinea. Long regarded Africa's preeminent Francophone novelist, Laye (1928-80) herein marvels over his mother's supernatural powers, his father's distinction as the village goldsmith, and his own passage into manhood, which is marked by animistic beliefs and bloody rituals of primeval origin. Eventually, he must choose between this unique place and the academic success that lures him to distant cities. More than autobiography of one boy, this is the universal story of sacred traditions struggling against the encroachment of a modern world. A passionate and deeply affecting record, The Dark Child is a classic of African literature. € 13,90
