书籍简介

奇努阿·阿切贝一生的决定性经历是尼日利亚内战，也称为比夫拉战争。 四十多年来，阿切贝对那些可怕的岁月保持沉默，直到他对现代非洲致命的事件之一做出了这一令人震惊的清算。 《有一个国家》是历史、纪念、诗歌和生动的一手观察的结合，是我们这个时代伟大声音之一的智慧和同情心的作品。

The defining experience of Chinua Achebe's life was the Nigerian civil war, also known as the Biafran War. For more than forty years Achebe was silent on those terrible years, until he produced this towering reckoning with one of modern Africa's fateful events. A marriage of history, remembrance, poetry and vivid first-hand observation, There Was a Country is a work of wisdom and compassion from one of the great voices of our age.
