The Lost Paradise: the impressive breakthrough work of Nobel Prize winner Abdulrazak Gurnah. "When you look at this land, it fills you with longing. So pure and so clear." East Africa, late 19th century: Twelve-year-old Yusuf lives a simple life in the countryside with his family. When his father goes into debt with his small hotel, Yusuf is handed over to Uncle Aziz and finds himself in the bustling life of the city. Subtle, vibrant, and told in a light, humorous tone, Abdulrazak Gurnah narrates the coming-of-age in a world of transition: the colonization by Europeans is just beginning to leave its mark. The old life is disappearing, along with Yusuf's dream of a small Garden of Eden in Zanzibar. "Anyone reading Gurnah as a white European understands their own provinciality, the narrow perspective with which they view the world and its history." DIE ZEIT • Coming of age in times of colonial upheaval • Subtle, vibrant, and surprisingly light, humorous tone • Nobel Prize for Literature 2021 • Now in the world's most famous classic series.
