Natives of My Person is above all the story of a voyage . a voyage which as in The Odyssey and Moby Dick penetrates into the very depths of a civilization' C. L. R. JamesIn the age of empire, the good ship Reconnaissance sets sail under its murderous Commandant. Yet this is no ordinary expedition for gold and plunder. It is a mission to create a new world in the virgin territories of San Cristobal, a fabled island shrouded in myth and promise. As the perilous voyage unfolds, however, it becomes a mirror of the colonial mind: avaricious, brutish, haunted by death and madness. With poetic intensity and philosophical depth, this is a novel that journeys far beyond the seas it charts. Through shifting perspectives and a richly layered narrative, Lamming unearths the deep scars of conquest and the personal and political dimensions of empire - its delusions, its violence, and the haunting legacy it leaves behind. `One of the great political novels in modern \"colonial\" literature' Ngugi wa Thiong'o\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"George Lamming","offers":[{"title":"432 pages \/ 14\/07\/2026 \/ Historical fiction","offer_id":57208640536951,"sku":"9780241829479","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0682\/9454\/1624\/files\/9780241829479.jpg?v=1782126268","url":"https:\/\/gulpfictionbooks.com\/products\/9780241829479","provider":"Gulp Fiction","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
