When Ofeyi, who writes advertising jingles for the Cocoa Corporation, is sent on a promotional tour of his unnamed country, he arrives at a coastal village whose remote location has long kept it insulated from the corrupt national government. Here Ofeyi discovers a traditional way of life that is still flourishing and he is inspired to spread its life-affirming values to his suffering country. But challenging the forces of greed and exploitation provokes a horrific response, and when Ofeyi’s beloved wife goes missing, he must travel across a war-scarred landscape in search of her. Infusing the myth of Orpheus with his signature lyricism and moral profundity, Soyinka creates a dazzling story about the clash between idealism and reality.","brand":"Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47056181002480,"sku":"9780593467190","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780593467190_p0.jpg?v=1763722128","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780593467190","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
