Over dit product
Product Information
A remarkable work of reportage by the Nobel Prize-winning author that surveys belief and religion among the disparate people of Africa. "Engaging.... Naipaul's latest African journey is eyewitness reporting at its best." -- Time Like all of Naipaul's "travel" books, The Masque of Africa encompasses a much larger narrative and purpose: to judge the effects of belief (in indigenous animisms, the foreign religions of Christianity and Islam, the cults of leaders and mythical history) upon the progress of civilization. It is a masterly achievement by one of the world's keenest observers and one of its greatest writers.

Reviews
"Engaging. . . . Naipaul's latest African journey is eyewitness reporting at its best." -- Time "Beautiful and humane. . . . The idea that underpins it is so basic that it achieves a kind of majesty." -- Harper's Magazine "Neither a romantic's nor an anthropologist's tale. It is a collection of voices that make sense only in relation to one another. . . . What's important is what's being said. . . . [Naipaul's is a] brilliant and elastic mind." -- The New York Times Book Review "With extraordinary sensitivity, Naipaul registers the beauty of [African] traditions but also captures their cruelty." -- Bookforum "One of Naipaul's most stirring books. . . . [He] combines the objectivity of a disaster photographer and an understanding of history." -- The Independent (London), A New York Times Book Review Editor's Choice "Engaging.... Naipaul's latest African journey is eyewitness reporting at its best." -- Time "Beautiful and humane.... The idea that underpins it is so basic that it achieves a kind of majesty." -- Harper's Magazine "Neither a romantic's nor an anthropologist's tale.

[He] combines the objectivity of a disaster photographer and an understanding of history." -- The Independent (London) "Engaging work.... Naipaul's prose remains smooth, subtle, often silvery." --Kirkus Reviews "Ever fair-minded, soberly reflective and conciliatory, Naipaul offers his sage observations in the hope that by learning more, we accept greater." --Publishers Weekly (starred review) "A sharply written and engrossing exploration." --Library Journal, "Engaging. . . . Naipaul's latest African journey is eyewitness reporting at its best." -- Time "Beautiful and humane. . . . The idea that underpins it is so basic that it achieves a kind of majesty." -- Harper's Magazine "Neither a romantic's nor an anthropologist's tale.
