Chronicles from the Land of the Happiest People on Earth
批評家のレビュー
"Wole Soyinka is a giant of modern literature." (Robert McFarlane)
"To have contained in the body of his work the fullness of individual vision, the potency of myth, the corruptions of power, and the misery of the oppressed, is a rare feat." (Ben Okri)
"Swaggering and scabrous, at once a verbal spree and a fierce assault on totalitarianism." (Observer)
あらすじ・解説
Bloomsbury presents Chronicles from the Land of the Happiest People on Earth by Wole Soyinka, read by Michael Obiora.
A towering figure in world literature, Wole Soyinka aims directly at the corridors of power as he warns against corruption both of high office and of the soul, with a dazzling lightness of touch and gleeful irreverence.
Much to Doctor Menka’s horror, some cunning entrepreneur has decided to sell body parts from his hospital for use in ritualistic practices. Already at the end of his tether from the horrors he routinely sees in surgery, he shares this latest development with his oldest college friend, bon viveur, star engineer and Yoruba royal, Duyole Pitan-Payne, who has never before met a puzzle he couldn’t solve. Neither realise how close the enemy is, nor how powerful.
Chronicles from the Land of the Happiest People on Earth is at once a savagely witty whodunit, a scathing indictment of Nigeria’s political elite and a provocative call to arms from one of the country’s most relentless political activists and an international literary giant.
