When he sets out to build a new life for himself, moving to an unnamed country in the heart of the continent, he believes he is doing so to fulfil his duty as a man. He buys a small shop in a sleepy town, at a bend in the river, where he sells sundries to the locals.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e First published in 1979, \u003ci\u003eA Bend in the River\u003c\/i\u003e is V. S. Naipaul's vivid exploration of post-colonial Africa at the time of independence. Serving as a microcosm of this changing world, his bend in the river is a scene of chaos, violent change, warring tribes, ignorance, isolation and poverty. And from this rich landscape emerges one of the author's most potent works - a truly moving story of historical upheaval and social breakdown.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eNow part of the Picador Collection, a series showcasing the very best of modern literature.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Libreria Fiore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54036835402074,"sku":null,"price":15.68,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7382\/1274\/files\/13913343482556.jpg?v=1776762863","url":"https:\/\/libreriafiore.it\/products\/a-bend-in-the-river","provider":"Libreria Fiore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
