from Oxford University Press, USA
Price: $17.99

Customer Review:
the story is a cleverly written satire. it shows the avarice of the old guard in the country. despite the fact that baroka has everything anyone in the village could ever want, he desires more. he must have the jewel at all cost and employs trickery to get Sidi into his arms. most of Soyinka's plays... more info

3.The Bacchae of Euripides: A Communion RiteThe Bacchae of Euripides: A Communion Rite
from W. W. Norton & Company
Price: $10.36

Customer Review:
Soyinka's translation of Sophocles' ancient work brings new life to the piece so many have already read. His version of the poem incorporates his opinions--as shaped while growing up in Africa--into the ancient work, and the translation brings a fresh take on the play. I advise it to be read... more info

6.[no image]A Dance of the Forests (Three Crowns)
from Oxford University Press, USA

Customer Review:
I can understand that if you have an in-depth knowledge of current African politics and folklore, you could appreciate this book. However, if you are a student (likely from Unionville High School) this book will be incomprehensible to you. This editorial is written by three students who are forced... more info

from Dramatist's Play Service
Price: $7.50

Customer Review:
I have read four of Soyinka's plays and found his use of language and drama to be exciting and unmatched by any other African playwright. The Brother Jero plays portray the problem of many African societies which have fallen to religion as a way out of their problems, only to be exploited by dubious... more info
