Hatimaye Kakulu anajitenga na jamii na kwenda kuishi peke yake juu ya kilima, lakini watu hawamwachi kwa amani kama anavyotaka, bali wanaendelea kumfuata na kumsujudia na kumhusisha na mambo ambayo yeye anasema hahusiki nayo. Hata baada ya karne nyingi bado watu wanamwamini na kumsujudia. Kwa njia hii kisasili cha Kakulu kinaundwa na uvumi unageuka kuwa ukweli. Unapotokea msiba unaodhaniwa kumhusu, anatumwa mjumbe (Msimulizi) kwenda kumtafuta Kakulu kumwarifu juu ya msiba huo. Safari hiyo ya karne nyingi inageuka kuwa msako wa utambuzi na ufunuo, na kuishia katika amagedoni inayoifuta dunia kongwe na kuasisi dunia mpya iliyo nje ya duara la Kakulu.

Resurrection: Novel by Leo Tolstoy
Leo Tolstoy's last completed novel, Resurrection is an intimate, psychological tale of guilt, anger and forgiveness
Serving on the jury at a murder trial, Prince Dmitri Nekhlyudov is devastated when he sees the prisoner - Katyusha, a young maid he seduced and abandoned years before. As Dmitri faces the consequences of his actions, he decides to give up his life of wealth and luxury to devote himself to rescuing Katyusha, even if it means following her into exile in Siberia. But can a man truly find redemption by saving another person? Tolstoy's most controversial novel, Resurrection (1899) is a scathing indictment of injustice, corruption and hypocrisy at all levels of society. Creating a vast panorama of Russian life, from peasants to aristocrats, bureaucrats to convicts, it reveals Tolstoy's magnificent storytelling powers. Anthony Briggs' superb new translation preserves Tolstoy's gripping realism and satirical humour. In his introduction, Briggs discusses the true story behind Resurrection, Tolstoy's political and religious reasons for writing the novel, his gift for characterization and the compelling psychological portrait of Dmitri. This edition also includes a chronology, notes and a summary of chapters.

The Avenstan Heir by Elias Kaboro
Dispersing Seeds of Discord by Leo Ma...
Pious Wilberforce, who lives with Fr. Diaz, receives university student and former teacher, Saul, who himself is addicted to pornography and walks around with amatorial cassettes. The priest is away. Saul stays overnight but mistakenly leaves behind two of the cassettes.
Sr. Lucina, Wilberforce’s classmate who lives in a nearby convent, inadvertently picks one of the cassettes from the priest’s house and takes it to the convent where it is likely to be viewed. The priest returns and is poised to play the other cassette.
There is pandemonium, both at the convent and at the priest’s house, with drastic and disastrous consequences to both Wilberforce and Sr. Lucina, which shape their later lives.
Leo uses suspense, satire, different scenes, and Catholic practices and traditions, so superbly that
a reader has no choice but to keep turning a page after another to see who is dispersing which
seed and how do such cause discord in which society or relationship.
Death of the author by Nnedi Okorafor
Disabled, disinclined to marry, and more interested in writing than a lucrative career in medicine or law, Zelu has always felt like the outcast of her large Nigerian family. Then her life is upended when, in the middle of her sister’s lavish Caribbean wedding, she’s unceremoniously fired from her university job and, to add insult to injury, her novel is rejected by yet another publisher. With her career and dreams crushed in one fell swoop, she decides to write something just for herself. What comes out is nothing like the quiet, literary novels that have so far peppered her unremarkable career. It’s a far-future epic where androids and AI wage war in the grown-over ruins of human civilization. She calls it Rusted Robots.
When Zelu finds the courage to share her strange novel, she does not realize she is about to embark on a life-altering journey—one that will catapult her into literary stardom, but also perhaps obliterate everything her book was meant to be. From Chicago to Lagos to the far reaches of space, Zelu’s novel will change the future not only for humanity, but for the robots who come next.
A book-within-a-book that blends the line between writing and being written, Death of the Author is a masterpiece of metafiction that manages to combine the razor-sharp commentary of Yellowface with the heartfelt humanity of Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow. Surprisingly funny, deeply poignant, and endlessly discussable, this is at once the tale of a woman on the margins risking everything to be heard and a testament to the power of storytelling to shape the world as we know it.
