Gamba la Nyoka by Euphrase Kezilahabi
Gamba la Nyoka ni riwaya inayosawiri mapambano kati ya dola na wananchi wa hali ya chini waliogomea utekelezaji wa mifumo ya uzalishaji mali iliyowalazimisha kuondoka katika maisha na maeneo waliyoyafahamu baada ya ukombozi. Mwandishi anaangazia namna dola ilivyotumia mabavu kupambana na wakulima wa kawaida ambao hawakukubaliana na uamuzi wa kuwahamisha kutoka katika makazi yao ya jadi na kuwapeleka katika vijiji "vilivyopangwa." Ni riwaya inayoangazia pupa za kisiasa katika kufanya uamuzi, na athari zake kwa watu wa kawaida. Unjozi wa mawanio ya kujenga mfumo mpya vijijini unaoneshwa, na hali kadhalika vikoa vya upinzani, baadhi vikiwa ndani ya makanisa na baadhi ndani ya serikali yenyewe. Mbali na uhalisia huo, riwaya inaeleza pia falsafa ya mwandishi kuhusu maisha na ubaho, kuhusu dini, imani na Mungu, na kuhusu mabadiliko na mageuzi duniani.
Kichwamaji by Euphrase Kezilahabi
Kichwamaji ni riwaya inayosawiri tabaka la vibwanyenye wasomi na warasimu, ambao elimu yao ya kimagharibi imewapumbaza na kuwakengeusha, hivyo kuwa mbali na jamii zao. Elimu hii inakuwa ni chanzo cha mgogoro mkubwa baina ya kizazi cha vijana na kizazi cha wazee. Matokeo ya ukengeufu huu ni kuangamia si tu kwa vijana wenyewe bali hata kizazi chao.
Sarafu ya Gavana by Wilbard Makene
Watu wasiojulikana katika nchi ya Weusi Kusini, wanapambana vikali kumshambulia Gavana wa nchi hiyo, bwana Bongo kwa lengo la kummaliza. Katika hali ya kushangaza, vyombo vya usalama vya nchi ya Weusi Kusini, ambavyo vilipaswa kumpa ulinzi Gavana, vinasuasua kufanya hivyo. Hofu na mashaka vinatamalaki kichwani mwa Gavana; mnyororo wa maswali unajirefusha kichwani mwake.
Ndipo anapoibuka Elvis Madiba, kijana machachari kutoka ndani ya vyombo vya usalama. Anamfuata Gavana na kumwachia sarafu. Huo ndiyo unakuwa mwanzo wa kuibuka chuki na uhasama, visasi na uhalifu, minyukano, nk
The Cautious Traveller’s Guide ...
It is the end of the 19th Century and the world is awash with marvels. But there is nothing so marvellous as the Wastelands: a terrain of terrible miracles that lies between Beijing and Moscow.
Nothing touches this abandoned wilderness except the Great Trans-Siberian Express, an impenetrable train built to carry cargo across continents but which now transports anyone who dares to cross the shadowy Wastelands.
On to the platform steps a curious cast of characters: a grieving woman with a borrowed name, a famous child born on the train and a disgraced naturalist, all heading for the Great Exhibition in Moscow.
But the old rules are changing, and there are whispers that the train isn't safe. As secrets begin to unravel, the passengers and crew must survive their journey through the Wastelands together - even as something uncontrollable seems to be breaking in . . .

Kama hilo halitoshi, wanapoibuka watu ambao hakutaka kabisa kukutana nao maishani na kumshinikiza ajitokeze kutoka mafichoni, malango yote ya jahanamu yanaonekana kufunguka kinyume naye na kujikuta akiwindwa na wauaji hatari wa kimataifa huku akifuatiliwa kwa karibu na wanausalama wa taifa, ilhali akiandamwa na jinamizi la huba iliyosahaulika.
Malenga Wa Bara by Mulokozi and Kahigi
Mwanzoni mwa miaka ya 1970 palitokea mgogoro wa ushairi katika nchi za Tanzania na Kenya. Makundi mawili, yaliyoitwa "wanamapokeo" na "wanausasa", yalibishana kwenye magazeti, vitabuni na kwenye makongamano kuhusu maana na maumbo ya ushairi. Miongoni mwa matokeo mazuri ya mgogoro huo ni kuandikwa na kuchapishwa kwa makala mengi na vitabu kadha vya nadharia na mikusanyo ya ushairi. Diwani ya Malenga wa Bara ni tunda mojawapo la mgogoro huo. Watunzi wa mashairi yaliyomo humu, K.K. Kahigi na M.M. Mulokozi, walikuwa miongoni mwa waanzilishi na washiriki wakubwa wa mgogoro huo. Hivyo mashairi yao yenye maumbo na miundo mbalimbali ya "kimapokeo" na ya "kisasa", ni kielezo cha kivitendo cha nadharia yao ya ushairi. Aidha, mashairi haya yanaakisi vizuri vuguvugu na mikikimikiki ya kisanaa, kijamii na kiitikadi ya miaka hiyo ya 1970.
The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway
The Sun Also Rises displays the full flower of Hemingway's unique style, at once spare and gut-wrenching. Following a group of expatriates in Europe after the devastation of World War I, the novel traces the doomed love story of Jake Barnes, a veteran wrestling with wounds both physical and emotional, and the beautiful Lady Brett Ashley. As they drift from the hedonistic nightlife of Paris to the macho world of bullfighting in Spain, these members of the Lost Generation face the loss of their illusions and the impossibility of love. Closely based on true people and events Hemingway experienced as an ex-pat in Europe, this debut novel marked the arrival of a towering talent.
A Farewell to Arms by Ernest Hemingway
Ernest Hemingway drew from his own war experiences when he crafted this remarkable story of an American ambulance driver serving on the Italian front and his love for a beautiful English nurse. The novel, Hemingway’s first best seller, is marked by vivid depictions of the horrors of the battlefield—but also by the heartrending vicissitudes of a passionate affair of the heart between his protagonists, Frederic and Catherine, leading up to a tragic ending that is all the more powerful for its famously understated expression.
Leaves of Grass by Walt Whitman
The poems of Leaves of Grass are loosely connected, with each representing Whitman's celebration of his philosophy of life and humanity. This book is notable for its discussion of delight in sensual pleasures during a time when such candid displays were considered immoral. Where much previous poetry, especially English, relied on symbolism, allegory, and meditation on the religious and spiritual, Leaves of Grass exalted the body and the material world.
Influenced by Ralph Waldo Emerson and the Transcendentalist movement, itself an offshoot of Romanticism, Whitman's poetry praises nature and the individual human's role in it. However, much like Emerson, Whitman does not diminish the role of the mind or the spirit; rather, he elevates the human form and the human mind, deeming both worthy of poetic praise.
A Raisin in the Sun by Lorraine Hansb...
Lorraine Hansberry's award-winning drama about the hopes and aspirations of a struggling, working-class family living on the South Side of Chicago connected profoundly with the psyche of Black America—and changed American theater forever. The play's title comes from a line in Langston Hughes's poem "Harlem," which warns that a dream deferred might "dry up/like a raisin in the sun.
