Produktbeschreibung
The Tears of the Republic A Novel by Mbida Mbida Camille "A nation does not perish from its wounds, but from its silences." In a country of Central Africa, the people longed for renewal. An old minister, Ngassa Samuel, rose up and proclaimed himself the people's candidate. Before him stood President Mbanda Éloi, emblem of a weary yet deeply rooted power. On election day, the Republic held its breath. And then-everything collapsed. Between falsehood and fury, the streets ignited. Cries turned to flames, and promises to ashes. Amid the turmoil, Ewane, a young and idealistic journalist, sought to understand-and to bear witness. His pen became his weapon, his only means of resistance against fear and oblivion. Through his gaze, The Tears of the Republic explores the frailty of power, the thirst for freedom, and the price of silence. It is a political novel, yet profoundly human-a descent into the soul of a people who, despite their pain, refuse to surrender their dignity. A cry of love for Africa. A meditation on truth and memory. A necessary, powerful, and heartrending novel.
Autorenporträt
Mbida Mbida Camille est une voix éclectique de la littérature contemporaine camerounaise. Auteur prolifique, il puise son inspiration dans le tumulte des villes africaines et la beauté silencieuse de ses racines. À travers ses romans et chroniques sociales, comme Douala la nuit, Olive le jour ou Les Larmes de la République, il dépeint avec une lucidité saisissante les réalités politiques et humaines de l'Afrique centrale. Mais Mbida Mbida Camille est aussi un poète de l'âme (L'écho de ma terre), capable de transformer la nostalgie et l'identité en vers universels. Écrivain polyvalent, il refuse de se laisser enfermer dans un seul genre, explorant tour à tour le fantastique, la fiction politique et la poésie. Il écrit pour témoigner, pour émouvoir, et pour offrir à ses lecteurs une fenêtre ouverte sur un Cameroun aux mille visages.
