The Lieutenant of Kouta
Angebote / Angebote:
The Lieutenant of Kouta is the first novel in Massa Makan Diabaté's award-winning trilogy. It tells the story, part tragicomic and part hagiographic, of an African lieutenant in the French Army who returns as a decorated hero from the battlefields of World War II to the town of Kouta. The novel offers a rich and nuanced representation of Mali on the brink of independence in the late 1950s, it is a tapestry of traditional Mandinka society and the French colonial apparatus, illustrating the dynamic interplay between the two. This text is, ultimately, a story of a man's transformation coinciding with that of his country.
