After decades of British rule Kenya has declared its independence, but drought and poor harvests still govern the village of Ilmorog. Undeterred, Munira, Karega, Wanja and Abdulla each move to Ilmorog in search of a more provincial life, only to find themselves suspects in a crime that signals a dark turning of the times.
A classic of modern African literature, Ngugi wa Thiong’o’s damning satire of politics and corruption in Kenya would prove the catalyst for his imprisonment by the Kenyan government. -

A Grain of Wheat Нгуги Ва Тхионго
Дата написания: 2002 A masterly story of myth, rebellion, love, friendship and betrayal from one of Africa's great writers, Ngugi wa Thiong'o's A Grain of Wheat includes an introduction by Abdulrazak Gurnah, author of By the Sea, in Penguin Modern Classics.
It is 1963 and Kenya is on the verge of Uhuru - Independence Day. The mighty british government has been toppled, and in the lull between the fighting and the new world, colonized and colonizer alike reflect on what they have gained and lost. In the village of Thabai, the men and women who live there have been transformed irrevocably by the uprising. Kihika, legendary rebel leader, was fatally betrayed to the whiteman. Gikonyo's marriage to the beautiful Mumbi was destroyed when he was imprisoned, while her life has been shattered in other ways. And Mugo, brave survivor of the camps and now a village hero, harbours a terrible secret. As events unfold, compromises are forced, friendships are betrayed and loves are tested.
Kenyan novelist and playwright Ngugi wa Thiong'o is the author of Weep Not Child (1964), The River Between (1965), and Petals of Blood (1977). Ngugi was chair of the Department of Literature at the University of Nairobi from 1972 to 1977. He left Kenya in 1982 and taught at various universities in the United States before he became professor of comparative literature and performance studies at New York University in 1992. -

Neix un teixidor de somnis Нгуги Ва ТхионгоNeix un teixidor de somnis ?s el despertar d'un escriptor i ?s l'alliberament d'un poble. Mentre Ngũgĩ se'n va a estudiar a la Universitat de Makerere, Uganda, el seu poble es defensa de l'Imperi brit?nic. En aquells temps convulsos ?s quan neix un dels intel·lectuals m?s importants de la nostra ?poca, formant-se com a periodista, escriptor de contes, dramaturg i novel·lista. Perseguit pels records i les not?cies de la carnisseria i dels encarceraments en massa realitzats per l'estat colonial brit?nic a la seva Kenya natal, per? alhora inspirat en la lluita tit?nica contra aquestes injust?cies, Ngũgĩ comen?a a teixir hist?ries que recull de les fibres de la mem?ria, la hist?ria i un present vibrant i turbulent. ?s aix? com es comen?a a formar una identitat d'intel·lectual al servei del seu poble. En aquest text emocionant i provocatiu es despleguen simult?niament el naixement de Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o com a escriptor combatiu, la fi del colonialisme militar en un dels episodis m?s violents de la hist?ria global i l'empoderament dels pobles africans per decidir el seu futur.
