Abo Isheley Kuneley (Tigrinya Edition) [Tigrinya]

By Eskias Ghebreyohannes

Brief Description of Abo Isheley KuneleyBy Eskias G/YohannesWe Eritreans should be grateful to our forefathers for bestowing their great legacy; the Tigrinya alphabet which is an exception in the realm of languages. Unfortunately, despite its linguistic richness, the successive colonial rulers obstructed the development of Tigrinya into a literary language. As a result, we were denied the pleasure of writing and reading in our mother tongue.Although literary works flourished after independence of Eritrea, the dramatic wartime accounts of heroic Eritreans remain untold. The traumatic experiences remain hidden in the memories of patriots. The widespread ordeals endured continue to be undocumented.Well, Abo Isheley Kuneley is a novel inspired by the above mentioned literary vacuum. It narrates the atrocities committed by the government, the heroic resistance to the occupation, the ordeals endured by innocent Eritreans and members of the clandestine organization, and the unjust public condemnation for those who consorted with the enemy to further the resistance. It is a thrilling love story between Yonas and Senait, suffused with suspense, and written in a conversational style and extensive vocabulary that showcase the beauty of the Tigrigna language. The escalating conflicts confronted by the characters make the book provocative and engaging.The reader will enjoy:Highlights of Eritrean culture and history,Shocking revelations about the war for independence,Refreshed memories about this dynamic period in history, andThrilling in a breathtaking story.
