Chhota Desh By Gael Faye

Description

बुरुंडी आणि रवांडा येथे घडणारी ही कादंबरी दहा वर्षांच्या गॅबीची कहाणी आहे, जो आपल्या फ्रेंच वडिलांसोबत आणि रवांडाच्या आईसोबत बुजुंबुरा या जिल्ह्यात राहतो. गॅब्रिएलच्या सुखासीन आयुष्यामुळे त्याला हुतू बहुसंख्य आणि तुत्सी अल्पसंख्याक यांच्यातील वाढत्या तणावाची जाणीव नसते. पण रवांडात पेटलेलं गृहयुद्ध आणि नरसंहाराच्या उद्रेकाची झळ बुरुंडीमध्ये पसरते, आणि गॅबी व त्याच्या मित्रांचं स्वास्थ्य हरवतं. ही कादंबरी बुरुंडीमध्ये वाढलेल्या गेल फेयच्या स्वतःच्या अनुभवांवर आधारित आहे; पण ती आत्मचरित्रात्मक नसल्याचे लेखकाने ठामपणे स्पष्ट केले आहे. . SET IN BURUNDI AND RWANDA FROM 1993 ONWARDS, THE NOVEL IS NARRATED BY TEN-YEAR-OLD GABY, WHO LIVES WITH HIS FRENCH FATHER AND RWANDAN MOTHER IN AN IMPASSE IN A COMFORTABLE DISTRICT OF BUJUMBURA. GABRIEL`S SHELTERED UPBRINGING LEAVES HIM OBLIVIOUS TO THE INCREASING TENSIONS BETWEEN THE HUTU MAJORITY AND THE TUTSI MINORITY TO WHICH HE, THROUGH HIS MOTHER, BELONGS. AS NEIGHBOURING RWANDA FACES THE OUTBREAK OF CIVIL WAR AND GENOCIDE, WHICH SPILL OVER INTO BURUNDI, THE INNOCENCE OF GABY AND HIS GROUP OF FRIENDS IS BRUTALLY SHATTERED. THE NOVEL IS BASED ON GAËL FAYE`S OWN EXPERIENCES GROWING UP IN BURUNDI DURING THIS PERIOD; THE AUTHOR HAS, HOWEVER, STRESSED THAT IT IS NOT STRICTLY AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL. .
