Description

A First of its Kind!

******************

In the shadowed lands of Arikana, where ancient gods clash with dark sorcery, a kingdom’s fate teeters on the edge…

When the Welsh—ruthless conquerors with a thirst for domination—march toward the Seven Kingdoms, whispers of a new power awaken.
In Akanga, a chief encounters a reaper, an ominous envoy of a sorceress from Kush, the kingdom ruled by King Harem.
Fearless yet desperate, Akanga’s realm faces a threat like never before. With his own throne at risk, Shifu commands his two sons to rescue his daughter and vanquish the sorceress—an act that could spell salvation or utter ruin.

In Son of Akanga, the first thrilling installment in the Arikana trilogy, the bonds of family, loyalty, and destiny are tested in a realm where gods and conquerors battle for supremacy.
For lovers of epic fantasy and African folklore, this tale of dark enchantments and shifting power is a journey into a world as lush and complex as the African continent itself. Will Shifu’s sons defy fate, or will they be forever ensnared in the sorceress’s web?

Embrace the magic, heed the call of the Seven Kingdoms, and witness the beginning of an unforgettable legend.

Petals of Blood by Ngugi Wa Thiongio

, , ,
KShs1,000.00 KShs850.00
The Mau Mau rebellion, as it is often called, which began in Kenya in the early 1950s, was a nationalist, anticolonial armed resistance against the British colonial state. The guerrilla movement called itself the Kenya Land Freedom Army; the British dubbed the movement “mau mau,” a meaningless name, to obscure the aims otherwise so clear in the resistance army’s name. Ngugi Wa Thiongío’s Petals of Blood examines, among other things, the betrayal by the postcolonial regime of the ideals of this anticolonial struggle that helped Kenya achieve its independence. The novel revolves around three men and a woman. The four friends reveal different aspects of their history to each other piecemeal, just as their families had guardedly explained the past to them. The lingering effects of the Mau Mau revolt have affected all their lives and by the end of the novel, each character is wrapped up in his or her own exclusive epiphany about life in Kenya. Abdullah, the trader, thinks he failed the movement because he did not avenge the death of a friend who was a revolutionary and who was betrayed. Munira, the schoolteacher and eventual wide-eyed prophet, is paralyzed by the shadow of his successful father, who condemned the Mau Mau but aided the crony corruption of independent Kenya. Wanja, the beauty from a broken home, learns that it was two generations of revolutionary fervor that distorted the home she grew up in. And Karega, Thiongío’s union-pushing hero, scrutinizes the history of Mau Mau as if it were a sacred text. Somewhere in that history, they all believe, is the key to wisdom and justice.

Alternative Dispute Resolution in the Market place by J.G. Nyamu

, ,
KShs2,000.00 KShs1,500.00
Brief Summary The book has powerfully underpinned the need for awareness creation and the building of a new ADR culture. The author has persuasively argued that courts are firefighting backlogs, but the actual fire is out there in the wider society. The real challenge is to stem the flow of disputes into the court system. The book has been written in an easily accessible style and this makes it suitable for all readers who are not familiar with ADR including, students in schools, colleges and universities, administrators, judiciary, policy makers, corporates and practitioners of ADR among many possible users of the book.

Wizard of the Crow by Ngugi wa Thiongo

, ,
KShs3,500.00 KShs2,990.00
Brief Summary From the exiled Kenyan novelist, playwright, poet, and literary critic--a magisterial comic novel that is certain to take its place as a landmark of postcolonial African literature. In exile now for more than twenty years, Ngugi wa Thiongo has become one of the most widely read African writers of our time, the power and scope of his work garnering him international attention and praise. His aim in Wizard of the Crow is, in his own words, nothing less than "to sum up Africa of the twentieth century in the context of two thousand years of world history.” Commencing in "our times” and set in the "Free Republic of Aburiria,” the novel dramatizes with corrosive humor and keenness of observation a battle for control of the souls of the Aburirian people. Among the contenders: His High Mighty Excellency; the eponymous Wizard, an avatar of folklore and wisdom; the corrupt Christian Ministry; and the nefarious Global Bank. Fashioning the stories of the powerful and the ordinary into a dazzling mosaic, Wizard of the Crow reveals humanity in all its endlessly surprising complexity. Informed by richly enigmatic traditional African storytelling, Wizard of the Crow is a masterpiece, the crowning achievement in Ngugl wa Thiongo’s career thus far.
