The Famished Road: Introduction by Vanessa Guignery
De (autor): Ben Okri
A beautiful hardcover Contemporary Classics edition of Nigerian author Ben Okri's 1991 Booker Prize-winning novel, a masterpiece of magical realism narrated by a Yoruba spirit child. Azaro, the narrator of The Famished Road, is an abiku, a spirit child, who in the Yoruba tradition of Nigeria exists between life and death. The life he foresees for himself and the tale he tells is full of sadness and tragedy, but inexplicably he is born with a smile on his face. Nearly called back to the land of the dead, he is resurrected. But in their efforts to save their child, Azaro's loving parents are made destitute. The tension between the land of the living, with its violence and political struggles, and the temptations of the carefree kingdom of the spirits propels this latter-day Lazarus's story.
