Da en 42 år gammel lærer rømte fra Zanzibar, trodde han at han sannsynligvis aldri ville komme tilbake. Drømmen om å studere i England betydde mer. Men ting blir ikke helt som han forestilte seg, skolen der han underviser, er trang og voldelig, han begynner å glemme hvordan det er å høre til. Men så kommer Emma, vakre, opprørske Emma, som vender seg bort fra sin egen hvite middelklassens røtter for å tilby ham kjærlighet og gi ham et barn. Til gjengjeld vever han et nett av løgner om sitt eget hjem, og han holder henne skjult for familien sin. Tjue år senere blir han tvunget til å ta et oppgjør med seg selv og sin egen identitet. Da han erkjenner sannheten, forandres samtidig hele hans syn på livet.

Tolvårige Yusuf skickas av sina fattiga föräldrar till kusten för att bo hos sin farbror Aziz, en förmögen köpman. Snart går det upp för den oskuldsfulle Yusuf att köpmannen inte alls är Yusufs farbror: i själva verket har han sålts som skuldslav av sin far. Så börjar livets hårda skola för Yusuf. Genom Yusuf får vi uppleva ett Afrika som präglas av stamstrider, vidskeplighet, sjukdomar och barnslaveri, men drömmaren Yusuf får också en skymt av paradisets portar av eld och vatten. Paradiset är en mångbottnad, våldsam, vacker och märklig berättelse med ett poetiskt, skirt och avskalat språk, där perspektivet aldrig viker från den unga huvudpersonens sida. Den är fast förankrad i sin tid och sin miljö, en berättelse som ändå – eller just därför – är djupt allmängiltig.

Människorna i Den sista gåvan är offer för sina omständigheter, illa tilltygade av den globala migrationens tidvattensvågor, på flykt från sig själva. De är märkta av förlust, skam och rädsla. Med mästarhand skildrar Abdulrazak Gurnah deras rotlöshet, skuldkänslorna gentemot dem som har lämnats kvar, deras längtan efter tillhörighet och deras försök att uppfinna sig själva på nytt. Det här är berättelsen om den sköra gränsen mellan förlust och frihet, mellan gamla svek och nya lojaliteter. Den sista gåvan är Abdulrazak Gurnahs åttonde roman och hans andra på svenska. Här återvänder han till de teman han har utforskat i flera av sina tidigare romaner: exil och skuld.

The Last Gift: By the Winner of the 2021 Nobel Prize in Literature
From the winner of the 2021 Nobel Prize in Literature, an astounding meditation on family, self and the meaning of home. Abbas has never told anyone about his past-before he was a sailor on the high seas, before he met his wife Maryam outside a drugstore in Exeter, before they settled into a quiet life with their children, Jamal and Hanna. Now, at the age of sixty-three, he suffers a collapse that renders him unable to speak about things he thought he would one day have to. Jamal and Hanna have grown up and gone out into the world. They were both born in England but cannot shake a sense of apartness. Hanna calls herself Anna now, and has just moved to a new city to be near her boyfriend. She feels the relationship is headed somewhere serious, but the words have not yet been spoken out loud. Jamal, the listener of the family, moves into a student house and is captivated by a young woman with dark blue eyes and her own complex story to tell. Abbas's illness forces both children home, to the dark silences of their father and the fretful capability of their mother, Maryam, who has never thought to find herself-until now.
Gravel Heart: By the Winner of the 2021 Nobel Prize in Literature
From the winner of the 2021 Nobel Prize in Literature, a powerful story of exile, migration, and betrayal. Salim has always known that his father does not want him. Living with his parents and his adored Uncle Amir in a house full of secrets, he is a bookish child, a dreamer haunted by night terrors. It is the 1970s and Zanzibar is changing. Tourists arrive, the island's white sands obscuring the memory of recent conflict--the longed-for independence from British colonialism swiftly followed by bloody revolution. When his father moves out, retreating into disheveled introspection, Salim is confused and ashamed. His mother does not discuss the change, nor does she explain her absences with a strange man; silence is layered on silence. When glamorous Uncle Amir, now a senior diplomat, offers Salim an escape, the lonely teenager travels to London for college. But nothing has prepared him for the biting cold and seething crowds of this hostile city. Struggling to find a foothold, and to understand the darkness at the heart of his family, he must face devastating truths about those closest to him--and about love, sex, and power. Evoking the immigrant experience with unsentimental precision and profound understanding, Gravel Heart is a powerfully affecting story of isolation, identity, belonging, and betrayal, and Abdulrazak Gurnah's most astonishing achievement.

NOBELPRISET I LITTERATUR 2021 LONGLISTED FOR THE ORWELL PRIZE FOR POLITICAL FICTION 2021 LONGLISTED FOR THE WALTER SCOTT PRIZE 2021 ‘Riveting and heartbreaking ... A compelling novel, one that gathers close all those who were meant to be forgotten, and refuses their erasure’ Maaza Mengiste, Guardian ‘A brilliant and important book for our times, by a wondrous writer’ Philippe Sands, New Statesman, Books of the Year While he was still a little boy, Ilyas was stolen from his parents by the German colonial troops. After years away, fighting in a war against his own people, he returns to his village to find his parents gone, and his sister Afiya given away. Another young man returns at the same time. Hamza was not stolen for the war, but sold into it; he has grown up at the right hand of an officer whose protection has marked him life. With nothing but the clothes on his back, he seeks only work and security – and the love of the beautiful Afiya. As fate knots these young people together, as they live and work and fall in love, the shadow of a new war on another continent lengthens and darkens, ready to snatch them up and carry them away… ‘Rarely in a lifetime can you open a book and find that reading it encapsulates the enchanting qualities of a love affair ... One scarcely dares breathe while reading it for fear of breaking the enchantment’ The Times

The work of a maestro' Guardian 'An absorbing novel about abandonment and loss' Daily Telegraph ___________________________________ Early one morning in 1899, in a small town along the coast from Mombasa, Hassanali sets out for the mosque. But he never gets there, for out of the desert stumbles an ashen and exhausted Englishman who collapses at his feet. That man is Martin Pearce - writer, traveller and something of an Orientalist. After Pearce has recuperated, he visits Hassanali to thank him for his rescue and meets Hassanali's sister Rehana; he is immediately captivated. In this crumbling town on the edge of civilised life, with the empire on the brink of a new century, a passionate love affair begins that brings two cultures together and which will reverberate through three generations and across continents.

NOBELPRISET I LITTERATUR 2021 Born in East Africa, Yusuf has few qualms about the journey he is to make. It never occurs to him to ask why he is accompanying Uncle Aziz or why the trip has been organised so suddenly, and he does not think to ask when he will be returning. But the truth is that his 'uncle' is a rich and powerful merchant and Yusuf has been pawned to him to pay his father's debts, Paradise is a rich tapestry of myth, dreams and Biblical and Koranic tradition, the story of a young boy's coming of age against the backdrop of an Africa increasingly corrupted by colonialism and violence.
