Tolles Büchlein!
Ein tolles Buch. Super geschrieben und hat mir die Augen doch etwas mehr geöffnet. Es ist schön endlich aus der Perspektive eines Nigerianers über sein Land und seinen Kontinent zu lesen. Ist eine tolle Reihe. Hat mir Lust darauf gemacht mehr von Chinua Achebe zu lesen! War am Ende doch sehr kurz, und somit war ich schnell durch. Ich hatte unterschätzt wie kurz 64 Seiten doch sind.
