In \u003ci\u003eChronicler of the Winds\u003c\/i\u003e, he gives us something different: a beautifully crafted novel that is a testament to the power of storytelling itself. On the rooftop of a theater in an African port, a ten-year-old boy lies slowly dying of bullet wounds. He is Nelio, a leader of street kids, rumored to be a healer and a prophet, and possessed of a strangely ancient wisdom.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne of the millions of poor people “forced to eat life raw,” Nelio tells his unforgettable story over the course of nine nights. After bandits cruelly raze his village, he joins the legions of abandoned children living in the city’s streets. An act of the imagination, an effort to prove to his comrades that life must be more than mere survival, cuts short Nelio’s life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlready published in thirteen countries, \u003ci\u003eChronicler of the Winds\u003c\/i\u003e was short-listed for the Nordic Council Prize for Literature and was nominated for the Swedish Publishers Association’s August Prize.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Henning Mankell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48284126839035,"sku":"9781595585592","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/CoreSourceHub_0db7c20f-2369-453b-a2de-7930c158a128.jpg?v=1776373940","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/chronicler-of-the-winds-9781595585592","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
