In the House of the Interpreter

While Ngugi enjoys scouting trips, chess tournaments and reading about Biggles at the prestigious Alliance School near Nairobi, things are changing at home. He arrives back for his first visit since starting school to find his house razed to the ground and the entire village moved up the road closer to a guard checkpoint.

In timp ce Ngugi se bucura de excursii de cercetasi, turnee de sah si citeste despre Biggles la prestigioasa Scoala Alliance de langa Nairobi, lucrurile se schimba acasa. Se intoarce pentru prima sa vizita de cand a inceput scoala si gaseste casa distrusa din temelii, iar intregul sat s-a mutat pe drum, mai aproape de un punct de control al paznicilor.
