Описание: Introducing an important new voice in contemporary fiction, `Everything Good Will Come` is set in Sefi Atta`s Nigerian-born homeland. It is 1971, a year after the Biafran War, and two African girls become friends - one born of privilege and the other, a lower class `half-caste`; one who is prepared to manipulate the traditional system while the other attempts to defy it. Written in the voice of one of these girls, the novel traces the unusual friendship into adult life, against the backdrop of tragedy, family strife, and a war-torn country. A wise and universal story of love, friendship, prejudice, survival, politics, and the cost of divided loyalties.

Описание: Wole Soyinka Prizewinning author of Everything Good Will Come recasts the international espionage tale by bringing the intrigue and politics of family life to the fore. Lagos, January 1976, six years after the Nigerian Civil War. A new military regime has been in power for six months, but rumors are spreading that a countercoup is imminent. At an art exhibition in the affluent Ikoyi neighborhood, Remi Lawal, a Nigerian woman who runs her own greeting-card shop, meets Frances Cooke, who introduces herself as an American art dealer, in Nigeria to buy rare beads. They become friends and over the next few weeks confide in each other about their aspirations, loyalties, marriage, motherhood--and Nigeria itself, as hospitable Remi welcomes the enigmatic Frances into her world. Remi's husband, Tunde, naturally suspects Frances--like any American in Lagos--of gathering intelligence for the CIA, yet she is unconvinced. Cynical about the country's unending instability, and alienated by the shallowness of the city's elite, she willingly shares her views with Frances. But the February 13 assassination of General Muhammed prompts Remi to reconsider one particular conversation with her new acquaintance in a different light. Her discouragement overcome by a reawakened sense of patriotism, she begins to doubt that the bead collector is who she claims to be. With her signature subtlety and wit, Sefi Atta examines a brief but profound friendship, and one Nigerian mother's yearning--amid legacies of conflict and uncertainty--to help build her country from home. Sefi Atta is also author of Everything Good Will Come (Myriad, 2019).

Описание: An account of an immigrant family's struggle and the lessons learned about diversity Writing at the height of her powers, The Bad Immigrant cements Sefi Atta's place as one of the best storytellers of our time. Through the voice of her first male protagonist, Lukmon, Atta peels away nuanced layers to expose the realities of migration from Nigeria to the USA, such as the strains of adjustment and the stifling pressure to conform without loss of identity. Covering a wide range of issues, including interracial and intra-racial tensions, and familial strains exacerbated in a new geographic and cultural environment, this novel is a thoroughgoing exposition of the many challenges that confront a modern migrant, told from the perspective of a protagonist whose sophistication and educational prowess is no guarantee of success in a country that is prone to valuing conformity over merit. Atta grounds Lukmon's narrative in a wide array of cultural and literary allusions that testify to the author's wit and sophisticated management of complicated matters in a manner at once erudite and accessible. In The Bad Immigrant, Atta deftly drives the narrative forward with repartee that forges deep intimacy with the characters and engenders sympathy for all of them, even those we find infuriating.

The book contains commented lists of all the combinations of attack and defense techniques, and a dictionary of aikido terminology.
Stefan Stenudd is a 7 dan Aikikai Shihan aikido instructor, member of the Swedish aikido grading committee, former Vice Chairman of the International Aikido Federation, and President of the Swedish Budo & Martial Arts Federation. He has practiced aikido since 1972. He also teaches the sword art iaido.
