Price: $10.36

Customer Review:

What is most astonishing in Kapuscinski's book is not the fact that it was written in a more than evident biased tone with no regard whatsoever to Ethiopia's history and achievements throughout the 20th century, it is rather the fact that the book was deemed to deserve many a positive review. A a... more info

Notes from the Hyena's Belly: An Ethiopian Boyhood
from Picador
Price: $14.00

Customer Review:

Notes from the Hyena's Belly is a memoir that often reads like a novel. It depicts Nega's relatively calm childhood in sharp contrast to the growing unrest, civil strife and government corruption that dominated his adolescence and early adulthood.

I liked the book, as it was one I would not have read myself.
