The Eventful Life

of a Child in a Lost World

Littératures et Savoirs Collection dirigée parEmmanuel Matateyou Dans cette collection sont publiés des ouvrages de la littérature fiction mais également des essais produisant un discours sur des savoirs endogènes qui sont des interrogations sur les conditions permettant d’apporter aux sociétés du Sud et du Nord une amélioration significative dans leur mode de vie. Dans le domaine de la création des œuvres de l’esprit, les générations se bousculent et s’affrontent au Nord comme au Sud avec une violence telle que les ruptures s’accomplissent et se transposent dans les langages littéraires (aussi bien oral qu’écrit). Toute réflexion sur toutes ces ruptures, mais également sur les voies empruntées par les populations africaines et autres sera très éclairante des nouveaux défis à relever.  La collectionLittératures et Savoirsun espace de est promotion des nouvelles écritures africaines qui ont une esthétique propre ; ce qui permet aux critiques de dire désormais que la littérature africaine est une science objective de la subjectivité. Romans, pièces de théâtre, poésie, monographies, récits autobiographiques, mémoires... sur l’Afrique sont prioritairement appréciés.

PREFACE

An outburst of a passionate rhapsody implicit in a frustrated mind that smells a rat in and around him. A sort of look back in anger…! A family intestinal squabbles that contribute in painting a bleak future of a rather determined lad. This unfortunate setting, spurs the author to spit fire on everything he finds within and around his controversial Richpoor Nation.

A mind torn between socio-political ills and a sort of educational decadence leaves the author in a medley of paint-up trauma and despair. As a matter of fact, Mohkeleh hardly finds facts to put together in order to reach out to his dreams. This interesting debut of purposeful prose writing by the author leaves his readers awe-stricken in contemplating the ups and downs of life as we lived it yesterday, are living today and will do the next day.

This, not withstanding, Mohkeleh tries to impose and ascertain himself in virtue and in mind, with a long drawn-out struggle to climb the academic ladder in search of a genuine identity. The author evokes time and again certain societal ills across his path where he tries to give his own coat of paint to wrought out something good. But, for just how long will Mohkeleh cry out ? Who is there to listen ? Maybe he is just one among the myriads wasting out in the desert…?
