Recounting the bloody adventures of successive inglorious dynasties, the arrival of white exploiters and the fates of ordinary, endlessly persecuted citizens – most notably the tragicomic, Paris-educated hero Raymond-Spartacus Kassoumi – this iconoclastic, outrageous 1968 novel takes a wry, sideways look at empire and nationalism, and at the sex, violence and power that run through human relationships.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n‘A startling energy of language’ John Updike, New Yorker\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nTranslated by Ralph Manheim\u003cbr\u003e\nWith an Introduction by Chérif Keïta\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780241680803\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.7 x 5.1 x 0.7 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English, French\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50131398000944,"sku":"Trans_9780241680803","price":849.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9968\/4144\/files\/71fJmmStH3L.jpg?v=1757595627","url":"https:\/\/www.retailmaharaj.com\/bn\/products\/bound-to-violence","provider":"Retail Maharaj","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
