{"product_id":"great-ponds","title":"Great Ponds","description":"The Great Ponds is Elechi Amadi’s powerful novel about the long-running feud between two rival villages in Eastern Nigeria at a time when the region was still an early shadow of its future self. The dispute over ownership of a fertile pond escalates into a bitter, all-consuming conflict where pride, honour and tradition collide, drawing ordinary villagers into cycles of tension and tragedy. Amadi vividly recreates the atmosphere of rural life – its rituals, hierarchies and moral codes – while showing how a seemingly simple dispute can swell into a drama with far-reaching consequences. Written with precision and a remarkable talent for evoking place and character, this is an unforgettable portrait of community, conflict and the forces that shape human destiny.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDiscover more from the APOLLO AFRICA series: the new home for 100 timeless works from the legendary Heinemann African Writers Series.","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing (UK)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58454216311119,"sku":"9781035930548","price":21.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.suomalainen.com\/products\/great-ponds","provider":"Suomalainen.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
