SINOPSE
"The definitive African book of the twentieth century" (Moses Isegawa, from the Introduction) by the Nobel Prize-nominated Kenyan writer
The puzzling murder of three African directors of a foreign-owned brewery sets the scene for this fervent, hard-hitting novel about disillusionment in independent Kenya. A deceptively simple tale, Petals of Blood is on the surface a suspenseful investigation of a spectacular triple murder in upcountry Kenya. Yet as the intertwined stories of the four suspects unfold, a devastating picture emerges of a modern third-world nation whose frustrated people feel their leaders have failed them time after time.
First published in 1977, this novel was so explosive that its author was imprisoned without charges by the Kenyan government. His incarceration was so shocking that newspapers around the world called attention to the case, and protests were raised by human-rights groups, scholars, and writers, including James Baldwin, Toni Morrison, Donald Barthelme, Harold Pinter, and Margaret Drabble.

SOBRE O AUTOR
Ngugi wa Thiong'o
Ngugi wa Thiong'o nascido a 5 de janeiro de 1938 é um escritor queniano, que escreveu obras em língua inglesa e que posteriormente tem escrito em língua gikuyu. A sua obra inclui novelas, peças teatrais, contos e ensaios, da crítica social à literatura infantil. É o fundador e editor da revista gikuyu Mutiiri.
Em 1977, Ngugi wa Thiong'o escreveu uma peça de teatro no seu Quénia natal que procurava libertar o processo teatral do que ele dizia ser "o sistema geral de educação burguês", ao encorajar a espontaneidade e a participação da audiência na execução da peça. A peça não foi bem acolhida pelo autoritário regime queniano e o autor passou mais de um ano na cadeia.
A Amnistia Internacional tomou-o como prisioneiro de consciência, e o artista foi libertado da cadeia, saindo do país. Nos Estados Unidos, ensinou na Universidade de Yale durante alguns anos, e também na Universidade de Nova Iorque, nas áreas de "Literatura Comparada" e "Performance Studies". Ngugi vê muitas vezes o seu nome nas listas de candidatos ao prémio Nobel da Literatura. Thiong'o retrata como poucos a luta pela independência do Quénia.
