Scarlet Song: Apollo Africa
Autor Mariama Bâen Limba Engleză Paperback – 9 oct 2026
When Ousmane Gueye, a gifted Senegalese student from a modest Muslim background, falls in love with Mireille, the privileged daughter of a French diplomat, their romance defies tradition, family expectations, and societal norms - but love alone cannot shield them from the pressures threatening to undo them.
With lyrical precision and unflinching honesty, Mariama Bâ exposes the fragility and enduring weight of tradition in a rapidly changing world.

Recenzii
'Mariama Bâ is in a class of her own, conveying with real power and poetry a subtle, changing world of female experience.'
Notă biografică
Mariama Bâ was born in Dakar, Senegal in 1929. Brought up by her grandparents after the early death of her mother, Bâ's father fought to continue her education past primary school.
After winning the first prize in the entrance examination to train as a teacher at École Normale, Bâ taught in Dakar from 1947 until 1959 and later became an educational inspector.
A vocal activist for women's rights and class equality in Africa, her literary work often criticised the lack of educational opportunities offered to women as well as challenging the systems of polygamy and castes in Senegalese society.
Mariama Bâ died in 1981.
