Guerrillas

di Sir V.S. Naipaul (Autore)

Picador, 2012

**Winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature From the Booker Prize-winning author V.S. Naipaul, Guerrillas is a powerful novel of colonialism and revolution. 'A pioneering genius' – Prospect** On a troubled Caribbean island, Asians, Africans, Americans and former British colonials co-exist in a state of suppressed hysteria. Together with a leader of the ‘revolution’, they act out a gripping drama of death, sexual violence, and spiritual impotence. Guerrillas depicts a convulsion in public life, and ends in private violence. Place and people are evoked with an intensity unrivalled elsewhere. The novel comes with extraordinary force from the centre of a profound moral awareness of the world’s plight. **‘Remarkable . . . Guerrillas is a brilliant novel in every way, and it shimmers with artistic certainty’ – The New York Times ‘Impeccable prose, precise, austere . . . Guerrillas seems to me Naipaul’s Heart of Darkness: a brilliant artist’s anatomy of emptiness, and of despair’ – The Observer Now part of the Picador Collection, a series showcasing the very best of modern literature.**
