Descriere magazin:
Winner of the 1991 Booker Prize, this phantasmagorical novel is set in the ghetto of an African city during British colonial rule, and follows the story of Azaro--a spirit-child who has reneged on a pact with the spirit world--and the travails of his impoverished, beleaguered family. BOOKER PRIZE WINNER - A modern classic that reveals the tension between the land of the living, with its violence and political struggles, and the temptations of the carefree kingdom of the spirits. - A dazzling achievement for any writer in any language. -- The New York Times Book Review In the decade since it won the Booker Prize, Ben Okri\'s Famished Road has become a classic. Like Salman Rushdie\'s Midnight\'s Children or Gabriel Garcia Marquez\'s One Hundred Years of Solitude, it combines brilliant narrative technique with a fresh vision to create an essential work of world literature. The narrator, Azaro, 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.
