Alfu Lela U Lela Book 1 by Hassan Ad...
Hiki ni kitabu cha Kwanza katika mfululizo wa hadithi maarufu duniani kote za Alfu Lela U Lela (au Siku Elfu Moja na Moja) zenye asili ya Arabuni na Uajemi. Masimulizi haya ya Alfu Lela U Lela, yametafsiriwa kutoka matoleo ya Kiingereza na Kijerumani. Lugha hizi za Ulaya ndimo zilimotafsiriwa hadithi hizi kwa mara ya kwanza kutoka lugha za Kiajemi, Kiarabu na Kihindi.
Tafsiri ya Kiingereza ilifanywa na Sir. Richard Burton, ambaye anafahamika huku kwetu kama mmoja wa wasafiri wa kwanza kutoka Ulaya kutembelea na ati “kuvumbua” sehemu zile walizofika.
Tafsiri ya kwanza ya Kiswahili ilifanywa mwaka wa 1928 na katika kufanya hivyo, sehemu nyingi zilikatwa au ziliachwa makusudi bila kuzitafsiri kwa sababu wamisionari hawakutaka wasomi wa Kiswahili wasome baadhi ya sehemu kwa sababu zao wenyewe.
Matoleo haya, kwa kifupi, ndiyo yenye hadithi kamilifu kwa uhakika; yaani mtiririko wa visa na maana halisi ya hadithi kama zilivyotungwa na kutafsiriwa na magwiji wa lugha hizo mbili zaidi ya miaka mia moja iliyopita. Kiswahili kina bahati ya kumpata mfasiri, Hassan Adam, Mtanzania mwenye ujuzi wa lugha zote tatu zilizohusika katika kutayarisha tafsiri hizi. Bwana Hassan Adam ni mkufunzi wa miaka mingi katika Taasisi ya Lugha za Kiafrika katika Chuo Kikuu cha Cologne, Ujerumani.
Barua Ndefu Kama Hii by Mariam Bâ
Ramatoulaye, mwanamke Msenegali ameolewa na Modou, mtu mzito serikalini. Baada ya miaka mingi ya ndoa, Modou anaoa mke mwingine, msichana mdogo mwenye umri sawa na wa binti yake. Ramatoulaye anasahauliwa; pesa na mapenzi vinahamia kwa mke mdogo. Modou anakufa katika ajali ya gari. Nani atakayerithi mali za marehemu? Halafu kuna umati uliokuja kwenye kilio ambao “lazima ulishwe na upewe pesa kwa heshima ya marehemu”. Mariama Bâ, mwandishi wa riwaya hii, alikuwa wa kwanza kupewa tuzo ya NOMA mwaka 1980. Riwaya hii imetafsiriwa katika lugha 18 na umaarufu wake unazidi kukua.
The original publication was in French, Une si longue lettre; and this is the Swahili translation from the English, translated by the late Professor Maganga. Une si longue lettre is a classic of the African canon, winning the first NOMA Award for Publishing in Africa in 1980, and translated into 18 other languages.
About the author
Mariama Bâ was a novelist, teacher and feminist, active from 1979 to 1981 in Senegal, West Africa. Bâ’s source of determination and commitment to feminism were stemmed from her background, her parent’s life and her schooling. Indeed, her contribution is of absolute importance in modern African studies since she was among the first to illustrate the disadvantaged position of women in African society. Bâ’s work focused on the grandmother, the mother, the sister, the daughter, the cousin and the friend, how they all deserve the title “mother of Africa”, and how important they are for the society.
Adili na Nduguze by Shaaban Robert
"Ingawa kitabu hiki hutaja habari za malaika na majini, na viumbe wa ajabu, lakini ni kwa sababu ya utunzi tu. Mambo hasa yaliyotiliwa mkazo ndani yake ni ardhi na mimea yake; machimbo na hazina zake; mifugo na mazao yake; biashara na faida yake; safari na manufaa yake; utajiri na braka yake; ahali na heshima zao; na ndugu na matendo yao. Mambo haya huhusu watu wengi kama si dunia nzima." - SHAABAN ROBERT
Maudhui mazito yaliyobebwa na hadithi hii ya kusisimua yamekifanya kitabu hiki kitumike tena na tena katika kufundisha Fasihi ya Kiswahili katika ngazi ya Elimu ya Sekondari. - MHARIRI.
Kusadikika by Shaaban Robert
Kusadikika ni nchi ya kufikirika. Haipo kwenye ramani wala katika simulizi za kale, bali ndani ya fikra na maono ya mwanadamu. Imezungukwa na upepo na iko angani kana kwamba ni wingu linaloelea. Katika nchi hii ya ajabu, Karama, mtu jasiri na mwenye maono, anapinga mfumo wa haki usio wa haki. Kupitia hadithi hii ya kipekee, Shaaban Robert anatusafirisha kutoka sehemu moja hadi nyingine za Kusadikika kupitia safari ya wahusika sita waliotumwa kutafuta mifumo mbadala ya utawala.
Ingawa ni hadithi ya kubuni, maswali yanayoulizwa ndani ya Kusadikika kuhusu haki, uongozi na maadili bado ni ya msingi hadi leo.
Kufikirika by Shaaban Robert
Kufikirika ni nchi ya kufikirika tu. Haipatikani kwenye ramani wala haiwezi kuandikwa. Imezungukwa na Bahari ya Kufaulu, Milima ya Jitihada, Nchi ya Anasa na Nchi ya Majaribu. Njia ya kwenda huko hukanyagwa kwa fikra badala ya nyayo. Katika nchi hii ya ajabu, tunafuatilia hadithi ya mfalme mwenye nguvu na mali tele, lakini anayekumbwa na huzuni ya kutopata mrithi. Anatoa amri isiyo ya kawaida: waganga wa aina zote kutoka pembe zote za nchi waje kusaidia kutibu utasa wake na wa Malkia.
Katika simulizi hii ya kubuni yenye mizizi ya falsafa, Shaaban Robert anatufanya tutafakari kuhusu uongozi, thamani ya maisha, elimu, na wajibu wa jamii kwa pamoja. Hadithi hii ya kina inaeleza namna taifa linaweza kuangamia au kustawi kulingana na maamuzi ya viongozi wake na uhusiano wao na elimu, fikra huru, na ustawi wa jamii.

Kikomo: Harakati za Willy Gamba Book ...
Haikuwa kazi yake kujishughulisha na makosa ya jinai. Hivyo alishangaa kidogo Chifu alipomwamuru afuatilie tatizo la upungufu wa almasi. Isingekuwa kwa sura aliyoonyesha, angeweza hata kumjibu kuwa apeleke malalamiko yake kwa Kamishna wa Polisi au ampe uhamisho kwenda huko kama alikuwa hamhitaji katika idara yake.
Siku hiyo, Chifu alivaa sura ya kutisha na Willy Gamba hakuwa na la kufanya ila kukubali. Kulikuwa na ushahidi kwamba almasi zilizouzwa katika masoko ya nje zilikuwa chache sana kulinganisha na kiasi kilichokuwa kinachimbwa. Kwa nini iko hivyo!? hilo ndilo suala lililomsumbua sana Chifu.

The Gold Rush by Samuel Wachira
For Christopher Makumi, winning a scholarship to study in the United States was like getting the key to the doors of success, a chance of a lifetime, and a ticket to the world of riches. The truth is unveiled when the temptation of earning a quick fortune in the land of plenty leads him straight into the jaws of crime. Soon, he finds himself trapped between a ruthless crime lord, a bunch of dangerous killers and the law. The golden dream in the world of riches turns into a horrendous nightmare as the hunter becomes the hunted in a thrilling contest between the underworld and the law.
This is a dramatic story of an innocent young man who blindly falls into the trap of the lure of big money in a cliff-hanger which starts with false friendship. The friendship develops into double-cross, turns into a man-hunt and finally explodes into a blood chilling orgy of violence that leaves behind a series of assassinations.
JUSTICE IN THEIR HANDS
In a land suffocated by corruption, injustice, and failed leadership, the people’s cries for change are drowned out by the brutality of a system designed to oppress them. The government thrives on deception, its officials indulging in wealth stolen from citizens who can barely afford a meal. The police, once meant to serve and protect, have become executioners, their bullets silencing voices demanding accountability. Hospitals, meant to heal, become death traps where mysterious murders go unexplained. Schools and universities, the last hope for a better future, collapse under the weight of endless strikes and mismanagement.
Amidst the chaos, a silent storm is brewing. Students, doctors, and ordinary citizens refuse to cower in fear. They take to the streets, their chants of justice growing louder with every fallen comrade. But the government responds with force, staining the roads with the blood of the innocent. When a patient is found murdered inside the most guarded hospital, and the security cameras conveniently fail to capture the culprit, it becomes clear—the system will protect its own at all costs.
Yet, even in darkness, hope flickers. As fear gives way to rage, a resistance rises. Leaders emerge from unexpected places, uniting the oppressed in a final, desperate fight for justice. But with spies among them, betrayals looming, and a government willing to kill to maintain power, victory is uncertain.
Will the people reclaim their nation, or will the corrupt system tighten its grip, silencing them forever? In Justice in Their Hands, the battle for freedom is not just about survival—it’s about rewriting history.
