The story is based in the mythical country of Efica which is struggling to maintain it's identity against the cultural invasion of the neighbouring Voorstand. We follow Tristan into young adulthood as he strives to achieve his dreams, supported by his unusual family.

Prix et récompenses
The first Penguin edition of Peter Carey's The Unusual Life of Tristan Smith, with a cover by Michael Leunig Severely afflicted, doomed never to be taller than three foot six, Tristan Smith faces death and danger from the first moment of his energetic and ambitious life. Here, for the first time, is the truth about him, from his birth in the Republic of Efica in the year 371 to the present day. When he goes on trial for multiple offences in Voorstand, a nation of rampaging global dominance, Tristan must plead his case to the very culture that has done for his own. Peter Carey's piercing allegory of imperialism is unmatched for originality and inventiveness. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
