When he sets out to build a new life for himself, moving to an unnamed country in the heart of the continent, he believes he is doing so to fulfil his duty as a man. He buys a small shop in a sleepy town, at a bend in the river, where he sells sundries to the locals.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nFirst published in 1979, A Bend in the River is V. S. Naipaul’s vivid exploration of post-colonial Africa at the time of independence. Serving as a microcosm of this changing world, his bend in the river is a scene of chaos, violent change, warring tribes, ignorance, isolation and poverty. And from this rich landscape emerges one of the author’s most potent works – a truly moving story of historical upheaval and social breakdown.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nNow part of the Picador Collection, a series showcasing the very best of modern literature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781035039258\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.7 x 5.1 x 0.9 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Picador","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50756551737648,"sku":"Prakash_9781035039258","price":520.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9968\/4144\/files\/91WOUkQk24L.jpg?v=1770788775","url":"https:\/\/www.retailmaharaj.com\/bn\/products\/a-bend-in-the-river-1","provider":"Retail Maharaj","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
