Call #: FICTION COU Subjects Soldiers -- Fiction.   Young women -- Fiction.   Translators -- Fiction.   Imperialism -- Fiction.   Portugal -- Fiction.   Mozambique -- Fiction. Series Couto, Mia, 1955- Sands of the emperor ; 3. ISBN:  9780374605537 (hc.) Uniform title:  Bebedor de horizontes. English Edition:  1st American ed. Description:  x, 242 p. ; 22 cm. Notes:  "Originally published in Portuguese in 2017 by Editorial Caminho, Portugal, as O Bebedor de Horizontes"--T.p. verso. Translated from the Portuguese. Summary:  "In The Drinker of Horizons... the epic love story between a young Mozambican woman named Imani and the Portuguese sergeant Germano de Melo [comes] to its stirring close. We resume where The Sword and the Spear left off: While Germano is left behind in Africa, serving with the Portuguese military, Imani has been enlisted to act as the interpreter to the imprisoned emperor of Gaza, Ngungunyane, on the long voyage to Lisbon. For Ngungunyane and his seven wives, it will be a journey of no return. Imani's will come only after a decade-long odyssey through the Portuguese empire at the beginning of the twentieth century. If history is always narrated by the victors, in The Drinker of Horizons, Couto performs an act of restorative justice, giving a voice to those silenced by the horrors of colonialism. Throughout, Couto's language astonishes, rendering with utter clarity the beauty and terror of war and love, and revealing the devastation of a profoundly unequal encounter between cultures."--Publisher.
