Overview
\"Science has given us several explanations for how humans evolved from walking on four limbs to two feet. None, however, is as riveting as what master storyteller Ngũgĩ wa Thiongʼo offers in The Upright Revolution. Blending myth and folklore with an acute insight into the human psyche and politics, Ngũgĩ conjures up a fantastic fable about how and why humans began to walk upright. It is a story that will appeal to children and adults alike, containing a clear message: 'Life is connected.' Originally written in Gikuyu, this short story has been translated into numerous languages --forty-seven of them African-- making it the most translated story in the history of African literature. This collector's edition is richly illustrated with Sunandini Banerjee's marvellous digital collages that open up vistas of imagination and add new dimensions to the story.\"--Book jacket.
