Born in East Africa, Yusuf has few qualms about the journey he is to make. It never occurs to him to ask why he is accompanying Uncle Aziz or why the trip has been organised so suddenly, and he does not think to ask when he will be returning. But the truth is that his 'uncle' is a rich and powerful merchant and Yusuf has been pawned to him to pay his father's debts. Paradise is a rich tapestry of myth, dreams and Biblical and Koranic tradition, the story of a young boy's coming of age against the backdrop of an Africa increasingly corrupted by colonialism and violence.

spannend zu lesen, insofern Lesevergnügen, und so "nebenbei" erfahren wir Geschichte. Kolonialgeschichte, Geschichte über die Engen Gesellschaftskonzepte, die von diversen Religionen "angeboten" werden. und erkennen, wie sehr die Kolonialisierung bis heute wirkt. Unsere hoch bewertete Zivilisation, aufgebaut auf Ausbeutung und Kleinkram und Überheblichkeit. das lernten wir nie in unseren europäischen Schulen!
