The Man Died by Wole Soyinka
$65.00
Wole Soyinka recounts his imprisonment during the Nigerian Civil War, including the psychological strain of prolonged solitary confinement. These prison notes combine personal testimony with reflections on conscience, political power and resistance. Written by the Nigerian playwright and Nobel laureate, the book is both a record of incarceration and a powerful defence of intellectual freedom.
