Krátky popis
A blackout leads two teens to discover the intimacy and
vulnerability that can only be shared in darkness in Our Beautiful
Darkness, a fully illustrated YA novella from celebrated Angolan
author Ondjaki and illustrator António Jorge Gonçalves. Translated
from Portuguese by Lyn Miller-Lachmann The light goes out suddenly.
And in this absence of light, a pair of teenagers bare their
souls.Into the warm silence of the night, they share a conversation
filled with their stories and dreams… and maybe even a first kiss.
Set against the backdrop of the civil war that ravaged Angola in
the 1990s, this book weaves the country’s history with a teenage
boy’s family stories. But when a power outage shrouds the
neighborhood in darkness, everyday realities fade away… As the boy
and a girl sit talking in the backyard, memory gives way to
imagination and vulnerability, and the space between them becomes
charged with emotional electricity.Their resulting conversation is
both a meditation on the storytelling impulse and a gripping
narrative of first love that, through its particulars, ascends to
the universal.
