by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie (Author)

Ganadora del Premio de Ficci?n para Mujeres, "Winner of Winners"

Medio sol amarillo es una novela ?pica y magistral, que cuestiona el colonialismo, las alianzas ?tnicas y la responsabilidad moral de un conflicto, el de Nigeria, apoyado por las potencias mundiales.

-Edici?n especial limitada con pr?logo de Lina Meruane-

Medio sol amarillo recrea un per?odo de la historia contempor?nea de ?frica: la lucha de Biafra por conseguir una rep?blica independiente de Nigeria, y la consecuente guerra civil que seg? la vida de miles de personas.

Con gran empat?a y la naturalidad de una narradora comprometida, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie recrea la vida de tres personajes atrapados en las turbulencias de la d?cada: el joven Ugwu, empleado de la casa de un profesor universitario de ideas revolucionarias; Olanna, la hermosa mujer del profesor, que por amor ha abandonado su privilegiada vida en Lagos para residir en una polvorienta ciudad, y Richard, un joven y t?mido ingl?s que est? enamorado de la hermana de Olanna, una mujer misteriosa que renuncia a comprometerse con nadie. A medida que las tropas nigerianas avanzan, los protagonistas de esta historia deben defender sus creencias y reafirmar sus lealtades.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARD FINALIST - From the award-winning, bestselling author of Americanah and We Should All Be Feminists--a haunting story of love and war. - Recipient of the Women's Prize for Fiction "Winner of Winners" award.

With effortless grace, celebrated author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie illuminates a seminal moment in modern African history: Biafra's impassioned struggle to establish an independent republic in southeastern Nigeria during the late 1960s. We experience this tumultuous decade alongside five unforgettable characters: Ugwu, a thirteen-year-old houseboy who works for Odenigbo, a university professor full of revolutionary zeal; Olanna, the professor's beautiful young mistress who has abandoned her life in Lagos for a dusty town and her lover's charm; and Richard, a shy young Englishman infatuated with Olanna's willful twin sister Kainene.

Half of a Yellow Sun is a tremendously evocative novel of the promise, hope, and disappointment of the Biafran war.
