Cuentos Africanos Reunidos de Doris Lessing Serie
Esta colección ofrece una profunda exploración de la infancia y la adolescencia en el continente africano, adentrándose en las complejidades del colonialismo y los encuentros culturales. Las historias capturan vívidamente la belleza cruda del paisaje africano, que actúa como una fuerza poderosa que da forma tanto a los personajes como a sus destinos. Examina reflexivamente temas de identidad, alienación y la búsqueda de significado dentro de un entorno que es a la vez majestuoso e implacable.

This much-acclaimed collection of stories vividly evokes both the grandeur of Africa, the glare of its sun and the wide open space, as well as the great, irresolvable tensions between whites and blacks. Tales of poor white farmers and their lonely wives, of storm air thick with locusts, of ants and pomegranate trees, black servants and the year of hunger in a native village - all combine to present a powerful image of a continent which seems incorruptible in spite of the people who plough, mine and plunder it to make their living. In Doris Lessing's own words, 'Africa gives you the knowledge that man is a small creature, among other creatures, in a large landscape.'
