| Résumé : |
The sixteen short stories gathered in this anthology come from various corners of Africa and the rest of the world. Written over the last half a century---right up t the present day--by both renowned authors and those whose fame is now in the making, some published before, others appearing here for the first time, they represent fascinating examples of this widely beloved genre. In the wisdom and beauty of their narrative worlds, the reader discover reality in new and stirring ways, and are memorably reminded of what a great gift it is to live--with pain, struggle, learning, love, joy, and all.
These carefully selected stories on HIV and AIDS, corruption, gender issues, environmental concerns, dehumanising and selfish acts of those perpetrating violence, provide the reader with a platform to debate and discuss them, and to positively influence change towards a better world.
These fascinating stories bring into focus the need to appreciate diverse cultures and embrace the uniqueness that makes us one. (4e de la couv.) |
