Dreams in a Time of War

Through the story of his grandparents and parents, and his brothers' involvement in the violent Mau Mau uprising, Ngugi deftly etches a tumultuous era, capturing the landscape, the people and their culture, and the social and political vicissitudes of life under colonialism and war.

Prin povestea bunicilor si a parintilor sai si a implicarii fratilor sai in violenta rascoala Mau Mau, Ngugi creeaza cu abilitate o epoca tumultuoasa, capturand peisajul, oamenii si cultura lor, si vicisitudinile sociale si politice ale vietii sub colonialism si razboi. .
