Ashini

by Yves Thériault, Gwendolyn Moore (Translator)

Ashini is the fictionalized autobiography of a Montagnais Indian hunter and nomad; it explores his relationship with nature and his own kind, as well as his reactions to white civilization. The solution which Ashini invents for his own and his people's dilemma is as logical as it is unexpected.

أثر الكتاب بي كثيرا، أشيني الصخرة، بسنواته الستين، ووحدته، وأحزانه. أول تجربة لي في قراءة نص يختص بالهنود الحمر أو سكان كندا الأصليين، لكننا نشترك ونتشابه كثيرا. فلهم ذات المهارات التي يتقنها العرب كالفراسة وإقتفاء الأثر.
هم إرهابيو الماضي وهمجيوه، ونحن إرهابيو وهمجيو الحاضر، منهم ومنا فقط تقتص العدالة. كل ما في الكتاب أعجبني ويمكنني القول بأنه سحرني.. ما عدا النهاية

AMAZING book, it explains the smallest details of everything around the character "Ashini" and whats in him, as if you really living the character and that period of time of the story.
