Introduction of works
"The Land of Sleepwalking" is a novel masterpiece by the Mozambican writer Mia Coto. In the 1980s, Mozambique was Mired in civil war. As war survivors, an old man and a boy use a burnt-out bus as a shelter. They found a diary left behind by the deceased passenger, which told the story of his life. The boy spoke for the old man, and the stories in the diary interwoven with reality.
The Land of Sleepwalking, written in 1992, is Mia Coto's feature-length debut. He is a powerful indictment of the deep suffering left by the war, and uses highly poetic and vivid language to create a magical atmosphere that is closely linked to reality.
author
Mia Couto (1955-) is a Mozambican poet and novelist who is a major force in Portuguese literature today. He began publishing poetry in the press at the age of 14, and has published more than 30 works translated into 23 languages, including his 1992 debut novel, The Land of Sleepwalking, which was selected as one of the "12 great African novels of the 20th Century" and won him the Cammons Literary Prize (2013) and the Neustadt International Literary Prize (2014). As one of the most important works in the history of African literature, The Land of Sleepwalking explores the outlet and possibility of colonizing the continent with its exquisite narrative structure and linguistic transformation, reconstructs the whole country of Mozambique in the text, and makes an almost perfect annotation for the writer's literary creation concept.
