The sweet and bitter land of Sudan

Product details

A novel that puts the idea of ​​"the journey" on trial.

It presents an explorer who rediscovers the world, and exposes a man who rediscovers his emptiness.

From a steamer departing from Liverpool to the heart of Sudan, the British narrator tries to create a heroic narrative for himself, but finds only confusion, repetition, and a fragility of meaning.

A novel about the other, that does not conform to stereotypes; and turns them upside down.

Colonialism, the East, the West, fear, desire, greed, and everything that seems obvious are rearranged within a clever narrative game that blends irony with reflection, and places the reader before a perplexing question: Who went to discover? And who returned changed?
