Rowena Akinyemi

    Rowena Akinyemi crée des récits captivants qui explorent souvent les complexités de l'amour et de l'argent. Son travail se caractérise par un style accessible, faisant de sa fiction un choix apprécié dans les contextes d'enseignement de l'anglais. Désormais basée à Cambridge après des années passées en Afrique, ses histoires destinées aux apprenants offrent des aperçus de relations humaines complexes.

    • "In 1918 in the peaceful province of Transkei, South Africa, the Mandela family gave their new baby son the name Rolihlahla - 'troublemaker'. But the young boy's early years were happy ones, and he grew up to be a good student and an enthousiastic sportsman. Who could imagine then what was waiting for Nelson Mandela - the tireless struggle for human rights, the long years in prison, the happiness and sadness of family life, and one day the title of President of South Africa? This is the story of an extraordinairy man, recognised as one of the world's greatest leaders, whose long walk to freedom brought new hope to a troubled nation."--Publisher

      Who will speak for the poor? Who will listen to slaves, and those who have no rights? Who will work for a future where everyone is equal? Who will give up his house, job, and money to fight for people who are shut out by everyone else? 'I will,' said Mohandas Gandhi. And he began to fight in a way the world had not seen before - not with weapons, and wild crowds, and words of hate, but with the power of non-violence. This is the story of a man who became the Father of the Nation in his own country of India, and a great leader for the whole world.
