Download Radiance of Tomorrow: A Novel AudioBook Free

A haunting, beautiful first book by the best-selling author of A Long Way Gone. When Ishmael Beah's A Long Way Gone was posted in 2007, it soared to the top of best-seller lists, becoming an instantaneous antique: a harrowing profile of Sierra Leone's civil battle and the destiny of child troops that "everyone on the planet should pay attention to". (The Washington Post). Now Beah, whom Dave Eggers has called, "arguably the most listened-to African writer in modern-day literature", has came back along with his first book, an affecting, tender parable about postwar life in Sierra Leone. At the guts of Radiance of Tomorrow are Benjamin and Bockarie, two longtime friends who return to their hometown, Imperi, after the civil battle. The village is within ruins, the bottom covered in bone fragments. As more villagers begin to come back, Benjamin and Bockarie try to forge a fresh community by taking up their ex - posts as professors, but they're beset by hurdles: a scarcity of food; a allergy of murders, thievery, rape, and retaliation; and the depredations of the foreign mining company intention on sullying the town's drinking water supply and blocking its pathways with electric wires. As Benjamin and Bockarie visit a way to restore order, they're obligated to reckon with the uncertainty of their history and future likewise. With the delicate lyricism of the aspiration and the moral clarity of the fable, Radiance of Tomorrow is a powerful audiobook about conserving what means the most to us, even in uncertain times.
