ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Among the 100 Notable Books of 2022 according to The New York Times. ONE OF BARACK OBAMA'S FAVORITE BOOKS OF 2022 From the winner of the 2021 Nobel Prize in Literature, a sweeping, multi-generational saga of displacement, loss, and love, set against the brutal colonization of east Africa. A moving love story set against the backdrop of war and colonialism. When he was just a boy, Ilyas was stolen from his parents on the coast of east Africa by German colonial troops. After years away, fighting against his own people, he returns home to find his parents gone and his sister, Afiya, abandoned into de facto slavery. Hamza, too, returns home from the war, scarred in body and soul and with nothing but the clothes on his back--until he meets the beautiful, undaunted Afiya. As these young people live and work and fall in love, their fates knotted ever more tightly together, the shadow of a new war on another continent falls over them, threatening once again to carry them away.

Vid Havet på turkiska.

Two unaccompanied children travel across the Mediterranean in an overcrowded boat that has been designed to only make it halfway across... A 63-year-old man is woken one morning by border officers 'acting on a tip-off' and, despite having paid taxes for 28 years, is suddenly cast into the detention system with no obvious means of escape... An orphan whose entire life has been spent in slavery - first on a Ghanaian farm, then as a victim of trafficking - writes to the Home Office for help, only to be rewarded with a jail sentence and indefinite detention... These are not fictions. Nor are they testimonies from some distant, brutal past, but the frighteningly common experiences of Europe's new underclass - its refugees. While those with "citizenship" enjoy basic human rights (like the right not to be detained without charge for more than 14 days), people seeking asylum can be suspended for years in Kafka-esque uncertainty. Here, poets and novelists retell the stories of individuals who have direct experience of Britain's policy of indefinite immigration detention. Presenting their accounts anonymously, as modern day counterparts to the pilgrims' stories in Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, this book offers rare, intimate glimpses into otherwise untold suffering.

”Yksi merkittävimmistä afrikkalaislähtöisistä kirjailijoista” YLE Nobelisti Abdulrazak Gurnahin läpimurtoromaani on kasvukertomus, traaginen rakkaustarina ja kuvaus kolonialismin julmasta marssista. Isä myy 12-vuotiaan Yusufin häijylle Aziz-sedälle. Vuodet orjana kuljettavat poikaa läpi Saksan Itä-Afrikan ja opettavat karuja totuuksia niin kotimaasta kuin siirtomaavalloista. Yusufin tarina kuvaa ansiokkaasti vieraiden voimien ja yksilön kohtaamista sekä kokonaisen mantereen murrosta aikana ennen maailmansotia. Ennen kaikkea se kuitenkin kertoo toivosta ja nuoren pojan suuresta unelmasta. Vuoden 2021 nobelisti Abdulrazak Gurnah on unohdetun Afrikan ääni, mestarikertoja, joka löytää hiljaista kauneutta toivottomistakin tilanteista. ”Paratiisi on sydäntä lämmittävä ja sydämen murskaava tutkimusmatka kolonialismin sivuvaikutuksiin.” THE GUARDIAN Abdulrazak Gurnah (s. 1948) on Isossa-Britanniassa asuva, englanniksi kirjoittava kirjailija.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION In his first new novel since winning the 2021 Nobel Prize in Literature, a master storyteller captures young people in Tanzania in a time of dizzying global change. At the turn of the twenty-first century, three young people come of age in Tanzania. Karim returns to his sleepy hometown after university in Dar es Salaam with a new swagger and sense of ambition. There he catches the eye of Fauzia, who sees in him a chance at escape from a smothering upbringing. When the two of them offer a haven to Badar, a poor boy still unsure if the future holds anything for him at all, they little imagine how deeply their fates will entwine and diverge. As rapidly accelerating global change reaches even their quiet corner of the world, bringing tourists, technology, and unexpected opportunities and perils, each arrives at a different understanding of what it means to take your fate into your own hands.
