New Delhi: CBS Publishers & Distributors, 2003. Card cover. Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. 318 pages. Pictorial card cover, with a lightly creased upper front corner. This is an historical novel portraying the development in the village life and culture of Papua New Guinea, a beautiful island in the South Pacific Ocean. It is an eloquent portrait of Aimbe, who, by his attributes of courage and compassion, becomes a leader of his community after his father's death. He was forced to work on a white-owned plantation but with his genius of quick learning not only earns the respect of his colonial masters but also becomes instrumental in the kaleidoscopic metamorphosis in the village of his nation. Although bewildered by a hiatus between the high Christian ideals preached and the low-moral standard lived by European colonizers, Aimbe becomes a brilliant student of theology and a devoted pastor. While he ceaselessly works to promote Christianity among his countrymen, he becomes a strong advocate of the culture and traditions of his own country. Spanning a period of ninety years, the novelist describes, in vivid details, Aimbe's pastoral adventures, his bravery during the Second World War, and his devotion to his people under the renewed colonial exploitation. The novel is interspersed with romantic tales, and reflects the novelist's dexterity in bringing together various strands of the story to examine problems posed in the village life by the alien and materialistic way of life. Thus, it bring to focus the real life as lived in the early twentieth century in the countryside.
