Paperback. Condizione: New. Gabriela Babnik's novel Dry Season breaks the mold of what we usually expect from a writer from a small, Central European nation. With a global perspective, Babnik takes on the themes of racism, the role of women in modern society and the loneliness of the human condition. Dry Season is a record of an unusual love affair. Anna is a 62-year-old designer from Central Europe and Ismael is a 27-year-old African who was brought up on the street, where he was often the victim of abuse. What unites them is the loneliness of their bodies, a tragic childhood and the dry season, or 'Harmattan', during which neither nature nor love is able to flourish. She soon realizes that the emptiness between them is not really caused by their skin colour and age difference, but predominantly by her belonging to the Western culture in which she has lost or abandoned all the preordained roles of daughter, wife and mother. Sex does not outstrip the loneliness and repressed secrets from the past surface into a world she sees as much crueller and, at the same time, more innocent than her own. Cleverly written as an alternating narrative of both sides in the relationship, the novel is interlaced with magic realism and accurately perceived fragments of African political reality.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Ein Roman über afrikanische und europäische Ansichten und Welten und über eine Beziehung.Trockenzeit ist eine außergewöhnliche Liebesgeschichte, in der die Autorin die üblichen Stereotypen umkehrt. Der eine Pol ist eine 62-jährige mitteleuropäische Textildesignerin, der andere ein 27-jähriger afrikanischer Mann. Der Mann ist auf der Straße aufgewachsen und hat vielfachen Missbrauch erlitten. Auch die scheinbar behütete Kindheit der Frau war nicht frei von Verletzungen, und sie interpretiert das, was mit ihr geschehen ist, innerhalb der europäischen Sichtweise. Die beiden verbindet ein physisches Aufeinander-angewiesen-Sein, die tragische Kindheit des Mannes und der Harmattan, also die trockene Jahreszeit, in der sich weder die Natur noch ihre Liebe entfalten kann. Die Frau erkennt schon bald, dass die Kluft zwischen ihnen nicht aus der unterschiedlichen Farbe ihrer Haut oder ihrer Haare resultiert, sondern vor allem aus ihrem westlichen Weltbild, in dem sie die ursprünglich vorgesehene Rolle verloren hat, die die Mutterschaft und die Rolle der Frau naturgemäß mit sich bringen. Die Erotik kann die gemeinsame Einsamkeit des Mannes und der Frau nicht besiegen, die verdrängten Geheimnisse der Vergangenheit drängen an die Oberfläche und wirken sich auf ihre scheinbar stabile Gegenwart aus. In dem klug geschriebenen Werk wird die Geschichte abwechselnd aus der jeweiligen Sicht der Akteure erzählt, zugleich aber ist der Roman von magischem Realismus durchdrungen, und es schimmert auch das Mosaik des politischen Lebens in Afrika durch.Das Buch wurde im Jahr 2013 mit dem Literaturpreis der Europäischen Union ausgezeichnet.…
