Story
Shortlisted for the Booker Prize and the Whitbread Award, Paradise was characterized by the Nobel Prize committee as Abdulrazak Gurnah’s “breakthrough” work. It is at once the chronicle of an African boy’s coming-of-age, a tragic love story, and a tale of the corruption of African tradition by European colonialism.

Story
Salim has always known that his father does not want him. Living with his parents and his adored Uncle Amir in a house full of secrets, he is a bookish child, a dreamer haunted by night terrors. It is the 1970s and Zanzibar is changing. Tourists arrive, the island’s white sands obscuring the memory of recent conflict—the longed-for independence from British colonialism swiftly followed by bloody revolution. When his father moves out, retreating into dishevelled introspection, Salim is confused and ashamed. His mother does not discuss the change.

Story
Dear Catherine, he began. Here I sit, making a meal out of asking you to dinner. I don’t really know how to do it. To have cultural integrity, I would have to send my aunt to speak, discreetly, to your aunt, who would then speak to your mother, who would speak to my mother, who would speak to my father, who would speak to me and then approach your mother, who would then approach you. Demoralised by small persecutions and the squalor and poverty of his life, Daud takes refuge in his imagination.

Story
Cuando todavía era un niño, Ilyas les fue arrebatado a sus padres por las tropas coloniales alemanas; tras años de ausencia y de batalla contra su propio pueblo, regresa a la ciudad de su infancia, donde sus padres han desaparecido y su hermana Afiya ha sido dada en adopción. Otro joven regresa al mismo tiempo: a Hamza no lo robaron para que combatiera, sino que lo vendieron. Con tan sólo sus ropas a la espalda, se limita a buscar trabajo y seguridad... y el amor de la hermosa Afiya.

Story
Cuando los padres de Yusuf, de doce años, le dicen que vivirá con su tío Aziz durante una temporada, el chico se muestra entusiasmado. Pero lo que Yusuf no sabe es que su padre lo ha empeñado para saldar una deuda imposible de pagar, ni tampoco que Aziz no es pariente suyo, sino un rico y acaudalado comerciante con el que viajará por África central y las riberas del Congo en vísperas de la primera guerra mundial.

Story
Een coming-of-age-verhaal dat de hardheid en tegelijk de schoonheid belicht van een Afrika op de rand van kolonisatie. Yusuf, geboren in Oost-Afrika, staat niet lang stil bij de reis die hij gaat maken. Het komt niet in hem op om te vragen waarom hij oom Aziz vergezelt of waarom het vertrek zo plotseling is georganiseerd, of wanneer hij überhaupt terug zal keren. De waarheid is dat zijn 'oom' een rijke en machtige koopman is en dat Yusuf aan hem is verpand om de schulden van zijn vader af te betalen.

Story
Gurnahs bewegender Coming-of-Age-Roman über Verrat und Migration als Hörbuch. Salim ist sieben und ein kleiner Träumer. Sein Leben ruht auf einigen scheinbar unerschütterlichen Säulen: der täglichen Routine von Schule und Koranunterricht, den geliebten Büchern und seinem angebeteten Onkel, der sich ihm – anders als sein Vater – nicht ständig entzieht. Aber es sind die 1970er-Jahre und folglich keine guten Zeiten für Träumer, denn der Geist des Wandels fegt über Sansibar.
