A novella about an Eritrean conscripted into the Italian army to fight Libyans. In this brief novella Hailu gives a wonderful examination of a culture that praises warriors, but also examines what it means to fight someone else's wars. Contains an amazing description of moving from the fertile coastal regions to what the Eritrean soldiers see as the burning hellscape of the Libyan desert.

Onderdeel van de uitgeversreeks(en)
Eloquent and thought-provoking, this classic novel by the Eritrean novelist Gebreyesus Hailu, written in Tigrinya in 1927 and published in 1950, is one of the earliest novels written in an African language and will have a major impact on the reception and critical appraisal of African literature. The Conscript depicts, with irony and controlled anger, the staggering experiences of the Eritrean ascari, soldiers conscripted to fight in Libya by the Italian colonial army against the nationalist Libyan forces fighting for their freedom from Italy's colonial rule.
