Book
Condition: Gut. Erste Auflage dieser Ausgabe. 313 (7) Seiten. 19 cm. Umschlaggestaltung: Celestino Piatti. Guter Zustand. Salim, ein indischer Kaufmannssohn von der Ostküste Afrikas, sehr sensibel für politische Veränderungen, verlässt seine Heimat, kurz bevor sich hier ein Umbruch vollzieht, und übernimmt in einer innerafrikanischen Stadt ein heruntergekommenes Geschäft. Er versucht Wurzeln zu schlagen und Perspektiven zu gewinnen, aber die Verhältnisse bleiben labil? Naipauls legendärer Afrikaroman führt mitten ins Herz des schwarzen Kontinents, in ein Land, aus dem die Kolonialmacht gerade abgezogen ist. Der junge Salim, Sohn einer angesehenen indischen Händlerfamilie, die seit Generationen an der afrikanischen Ostküste lebt, übernimmt in einer Provinzstadt am großen Fluss einen kleinen Laden. Konsequent und virtuos erzählt Naipaul von der unendlichen Einsamkeit eines Grenzgängers aus einer anderen Kultur in einer Zeit des radikalen politischen Umbruchs. - Sir Vidiadhar Surajprasad Naipaul TC (* 17. August 1932 in Chaguanas, Trinidad und Tobago; 11. August 2018 in London war ein britischer Schriftsteller und Literaturnobelpreisträger. Er erhielt im Jahr 2001 den Nobelpreis für Literatur. Ab 1950 lebte Naipaul in England. Leben: Naipauls indische Vorfahren kamen als Vertragsarbeiter nach Trinidad, der größten Insel des heutigen Inselstaates Trinidad und Tobago. In den ersten Lebensjahren lebte Naipaul bei der Familie seiner Mutter. Erst im Alter von sechs Jahren lernte er seinen Vater Seepersad Naipaul (1906 1953) kennen, der in Port of Spain als Journalist beim Trinidad Guardian arbeitete. Später gelang es dem Vater, ein Haus in Port of Spain zu erwerben und die Familie so wieder zusammenzubringen. Die Geschichte seiner Kindheit und die seines Vaters verarbeitete Naipaul in dem Roman Ein Haus für Mister Biswas. 1950 ging Naipaul mit einem Stipendium nach England und studierte in Oxford. Nach dem Studium arbeitete er ab Mitte der 50er-Jahre zunächst als freier Mitarbeiter bei der BBC; bereits kurze Zeit später widmete er sich jedoch voll und ganz seiner schriftstellerischen Tätigkeit. Neben seinen Romanen ist Naipaul bekannt für seine Erfahrungsberichte aus verschiedenen Gegenden und Kulturen der Welt. Seine zahlreichen Reisen führten ihn u.a. nach Indien (mehrfach), Zaire, Uganda, Iran, Pakistan, Malaysia und nach Indonesien. Diese Tätigkeit brachte ihm auch den Ruf eines Reiseschriftstellers ein, obwohl seine Erfahrungsberichte und Analysen weit über die normale Form von Reiseberichten hinausgehen. Nach seiner Reise in den Iran (noch in den Nachwirren der islamischen Revolution) und in weitere islamische Länder setzte er sich in dem Buch Eine islamische Reise sehr kritisch mit dem Islam und vor allem mit extremistischen Strömungen auseinander. Der palästinensische Autor Edward Said kritisierte, dass Naipaul wie Rudyard Kipling Ost und West klischeehaft gegenüberstelle und alte Vorurteile am Leben halte. Naipaul erhielt 1971 den Booker Prize für seinen Roman In einem freien Land, 1983 den Jerusalempreis für die Freiheit des Individuums in der Gesellschaft und 2001 den Literaturnobelpreis für sein Gesamtwerk. Im Dezember 1989 wurde er von der britischen Königin als Knight Bachelor mit dem Titel Sir in den Adelsstand erhoben. . .

Book
Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Post-colonial Africa is dissected with pitiless lucidity in this disturbing novel about an outsider, the young Indian trader, Salim, who has moved from the coastal settlement where he grew up to an unnamed country in the African interior (largely based on the Democratic Republic of Congo), settling on that very bend in the river where Conrad had set his Heart of Darkness some seventy years before. Salim enters a ghost town, once a flourishing European outpost, which is fast returning to the bush. A new dictator 'the Big Man' is about to impose his regime with the assistance of Raymond, 'The Big Man's White Man', whose humanitarian concerns have won him international acclaim, but whose plans for the country's future are arrogant and delusional. Salim becomes obsessed by Raymond's wife, Yvette, and begins and affair with her. Personal and political tragedy follow, civil war returns, and Salim, contemplating the disastrous course of his life since leaving home, speaks for the powerlessness of ordinary people everywhere in the face of historical upheaval- 'I couldn't protect anyone and no one could protect me. we could only in various ways hide from the truth. One tide of history has brought us here . Another tide of history was coming to wash us away.'. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
