Mental Fight
Autor Ben Okrien Limba Engleză Hardback – 10 oct 2023
Explore the extraordinary imagination of Booker Prize-winner and visionary author Ben Okri - one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary literature.
There is much to celebrate in the human journey so far - art in all its forms, advances made in the fields of technology and medicine and, for many of us, the miracle of freedom. But there is also much to regret - racism, intolerance, the destruction of our environment, the reality and the legacy of slavery.
In this epic poem, Ben Okri invokes the past to explain the present, and sings out a message of hope. The future is still ours to make.
'An angry, hopeful, weary, wary, epic reveille to the human spirit' The Times

Recenzii
PRAISE FOR BEN OKRI:
'Ben Okri is that rare thing, a literary and social visionary, a writer for whom all three - literature, culture and vision - are profoundly interwoven' Ali Smith.
'Where fiction's master of enchantments stares down a real horror, and without blinking or flinching, produces a work of beauty, grace and uncommon power'
