Inhalt:BY THE WINNER OF THE 2021 NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2021 ORWELL PRIZE FOR POLITICAL FICTION LONGLISTED FOR THE 2021 WALTER SCOTT PRIZE 'Riveting and heartbreaking ... A compelling novel, one that gathers close all those who were meant to be forgotten, and refuses their erasure' Maaza Mengiste, Guardian 'A brilliant and important book for our times, by a wondrous writer' Philippe Sands, New Statesman, Books of the Year _______________ While he was still a little boy, Ilyas was stolen from his parents by the German colonial troops. After years away, fighting in a war against his own people, he returns to his village to find his parents gone, and his sister Afiya given away. Another young man returns at the same time. Hamza was not stolen for the war, but sold into it; he has grown up at the right hand of an officer whose protection has marked him life. With nothing but the clothes on his back, he seeks only work and security - and the love of the beautiful Afiya. As fate knots these young people together, as they live and work and fall in love, the shadow of a new war on another continent lengthens and darkens, ready to snatch them up and carry them away... _______________ 'One of the world's most prominent postcolonial writers ... He has consistently and with great compassion penetrated the effects of colonialism in East Africa and its effects on the lives of uprooted and migrating individuals' Anders Olsson, chairman of the Nobel Committee 'In book after book, he guides us through seismic historic moments and devastating societal ruptures while gently outlining what it is that keeps those families, friendships and loving spaces intact, if not fully whole' Maaza Mengiste 'Rarely in a lifetime can you open a book and find that reading it encapsulates the enchanting qualities of a love affair ...

Inhalt: Der Literaturnobelpreisträger von 2021 erstmals als ungekürzte Lesung Sansibar, Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts: Der zwölfjährige Yusuf lebt mit seiner Familie im ländlichen Ostafrika. Als der Vater sich verschuldet, wird der Junge an einen Gläubiger verkauft, an "Onkel Aziz". Von einem Tag auf den anderen landet er in der Stadt, zwischen afrikanischen Muslimen, christlichen Missionaren und Indern vom Subkontinent. Schon bald muss Yusuf seinen Onkel auf eine abenteuerliche Karawane ins Landesinnere begleiten, auf der sie auch die Folgen der im Land schwelenden Kämpfe zu spüren bekommen - und verliebt sich erstmals und kopfüber. Doch gerade als der inzwischen junge Mann beginnt, in seinem Leben so etwas wie Sicherheit zu empfinden, werden er und alle um ihn herum mit der brutalen neuen Realität der deutschen Kolonialherrschaft konfrontiert. Im Original 1994 erschienen, stand der Roman u.a. auf der Shortlist des Booker Prize und stellte für Gurnah den Durchbruch als Schriftsteller dar.

Inhalt: »Wer als weißer Europäer Gurnah liest, begreift die eigene Provinzialität, den so engen Ausschnitt, mit dem er die Welt und ihre Geschichte betrachtet. Was für eine glückliche Wahl aus dem so fernen Schweden.« DIE ZEIT Feinsinnig, lebendig und in leichtem, humorvollem Ton erzählt Abdulrazak Gurnah vom Erwachsenwerden des zwölfjährigen Yusuf in einer Welt des Übergangs: Als sich Yusufs Vater mit seinem kleinen Hotel verschuldet, wird der Junge in die Hände von »Onkel« Aziz gegeben und muss vom Land in die Stadt umziehen. Täglich erlebt er, wie subtile Hierarchien das Zusammenleben von afrikanischen Muslimen, christlichen Missionaren und indischen Geldverleihern bestimmen. Als sein Onkel Yusuf auf eine Karawanenreise ins Landesinnere mitnimmt, endet dessen Jugend abrupt. Die Kolonialisierung durch die Europäer beginnt in seiner ostafrikanischen Heimat Spuren zu hinterlassen. Das alte Leben verschwindet und mit ihm Yusufs Traum von seinem kleinen Garten Eden. Im Original 1994 erschienen, stand der Roman u.a. auf der Shortlist des Booker Prize und bedeutete Gurnahs Durchbruch als Schriftsteller.

Inhalt: »Ein großes Werk.« NZZ ? Einer der Höhepunkte im Romanwerk des Literaturnobelpreisträgers endlich wieder auf Deutsch! Sansibar in den frühen 1950er-Jahren: Inmitten politischer Umwälzungen und Aufständen gegen die Kolonialherren wachsen die Geschwister Amin, Rashid und Farida auf. Amin, der Mittlere der Brüder, verliebt sich in Jamila, doch beider Leidenschaft zerbricht schon bald am Widerstand seiner Familie und Gerüchten um die Vergangenheit der jungen Frau. Es heißt, ein Fluch liege auf ihrer Verwandtschaft. Im Strudel der Revolution trennen sich die Lebenswege der Geschwister. Rashid beginnt ein Studium in London, das Schicksal von Amin und Jamila lässt ihn aber selbst in der Ferne nicht los. Er begibt sich auf eine Spurensuche, die ihn tief in die afrikanische Kolonialgeschichte führt ? und bis zum Geheimnis um Jamilas Familie. Deren Großmutter hatte für eine verbotene Liebe zu einem britischen Orientalisten einst alles riskiert... »Die Abtrünnigen« zeigt Nobelpreisträger Abdulrazak Gurnah erneut als großartigen, politisch hellsichtigen Erzähler von Geschichten, wie wir sie noch nie zuvor gelesen haben.

Inhalt:By the winner of the 2021 Nobel Prize in Literature Abbas has never told anyone about his past; about what happened before he was a sailor on the high seas, before he met his wife Maryam outside a Boots in Exeter, before they settled into a quiet life in Norwich with their children, Jamal and Hanna. Now, at the age of sixty-three, he suffers a collapse that renders him bedbound and unable to speak about things he thought he would one day have to. Jamal and Hanna have grown up and gone out into the world. They were both born in England but cannot shake a sense of apartness. Hanna calls herself Anna now, and has just moved to a new city to be near her boyfriend. She feels the relationship is headed somewhere serious, but the words have not yet been spoken out loud. Jamal, the listener of the family, moves into a student house and is captivated by a young woman with dark-blue eyes and her own, complex story to tell. Abbas's illness forces both children home, to the dark silences of their father and the fretful capability of their mother Maryam, who began life as a foundling and has never thought to find herself, until now. ________________________ 'Gurnah is a master storyteller' FINANCIAL TIMES 'Gurnah writes with wonderful insight about family relationships and he folds in the layers of history with elegance and warmth' THE TIMES
