Zobrané africké poviedky Doris Lessingovej Séria
Táto zbierka ponúka pohľad na detstvo a dospievanie na africkom kontinente, skúma zložitosti kolonializmu a stret kultúr. Príbehy zachytávajú surovú krásu africkej krajiny, ktorá slúži ako hybná sila formujúca postavy aj ich osudy. Autorka sa zaoberá témami identity, odcizenia a hľadania zmyslu v prostredí, ktoré je zároveň majestátne aj drsné.

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.'
