内容説明
Maru is the moving tale of an orphaned Masarwa girl who goes to teach in a remote village in Botswana where her own people are kept as slaves. Her presence polarises a community which does not see Masarwa people as human, and condemns her to the lonely life of an outcast. Bessie Head was one of the best-known writers in Africa, whose works were mostly inspired by her own traumatic life experiences as an outcast in Apartheid South African society. This edition of Maru includes an introduction by Stephen Gray, former Head of English at the University of Johannesburg.

Maru is a fast-paced novel with remarkable political overtones. The characters are rich and alive and create strong impressions in the mind of the reader. The setting is splendid and the plot is awesome. It is full of love, romance sadness and hope in different turns. I recommend this book along with DISCIPLES OF FORTUNE as a good read.
Also recommended: The Union Moujik, Poor Christ of Bomba, The usurper and Other Stories

Political, romantic, and dense, what a wonderful and well-written book. I came upon this book by accident and became quite delighted with the story. The characters and the town really came alive on the pages. The imagery was beautiful and mythic. I just wish it were longer.

Maru is a story about the reaches of oppression within the village of Dilepe in Botswana. It is a fascinating story which examines how oppression and prejudice are maintained, and how they might be overcome. This is accomplished against the captivating backdrop of village life; scenes are depicted in such a way that the reader can imagine themselves in the story. Overall an excellent read that provides a rich view of life in Botswana.

relatively disappointing

形式:ペーパーバック
Bessie Head was a brilliant writer and storyteller, but she does not show it in this novel. Her novel "When Rain Clouds Gather" is wonderful, as are many of her short stories. "Maru" dims in comparison. This story is told in such a way that we as readers are treated like children, and at the same time is vague and nonspecific much of the time. The characters are rather unrealistic in their romantic pursuits and personal motivations. However, this is a good choice for literature that gives valuable information and insight into the culture of rural Botswana. "When Rain Clouds Gather" would be a better option, though.
