New Releases by Nnedi Okorafor

Compleja, trepidante y rompedora. Una novela especulativa sobre el poder de la creación. ¿Puede una historia cambiar el futuro del mundo? La vida le ha dado algunos golpes a Zelu, pero cuando la despiden de su trabajo y rechazan su última novela, su vida da un vuelco. Procedente de una familia exigente y crítica, no sabe bien qué va a ser de ella. Entonces toma una decisión arriesgada: escribir un libro muy diferente a los demás. Una historia sobre androides e inteligencia artificial tras la extinción de la humanidad. Y todo cambia. Lo que viene después es una historia de amor y pérdida, fama e infamia, y acontecimientos extraordinarios en un mundo y en otro, donde la línea entre la ficción y la realidad se difumina.

Set in the universe Africanfuturist luminary Nnedi Okorafor first introduced in the World Fantasy Award-winning Who Fears Death, The Daughter Who Remains is the breathtaking conclusion to the She Who Knows trilogy Featuring Najeeba, now older and wiser than readers have ever known her, this is a tale of family, courage, and healing Najeeba has something terrible to kill. And now she’s off to go and kill it. A fully trained, mature, and sharply focused sorcerer (don’t call her sorceress), Najeeba has left the comfort and security of her town with two companions, the glass maker Dedan and the old camel MorningStar. This journey takes her back to where it all began. And despite the fact that her training with the sorcerer Aro forced her to face her deepest fears, she hasn’t seen anything close to what she’s about to see. As the Igbo proverb goes, a masquerade does not dance for nothing. The Daughter Who Remains is the final book in the She Who Knows trilogy. This tale isn’t about Najeeba learning to master her powerful skills, it’s about her having the audacity and courage to use them and use them well…no matter the consequence.

Vencedor do prêmio Locus/Bram Stoker Conquista superior em Graphic Novel ___________________ "PERDI UM BRAÇO EM MINHA ÚLTIMA VIAGEM PARA CASA." Essa seria a casa para a qual ela havia acabado de se mudar, com um marido amoroso, na Califórnia dos anos 1970; e que, de repente, é transformada no apavorante mundo do Sul dos Estados Unidos durante a época da escravidão. Dana, uma jovem escritora preta, não consegue explicar como ela é transportada pelo tempo e pelo espaço até uma fazenda em Maryland. Mas ela rapidamente entende o porquê: precisa lidar com os apuros sofridos por Rufus, um dividido homem branco, proprietário de escravos — e seu progenitor. Sua sobrevivência, sua própria existência, dependem disso. Esta arrebatadora adaptação em quadrinhos do clássico da ficção científica escrito por Octavia E. Butler traz um olhar tocante, poderoso e resoluto sobre a violência e os perturbadores efeitos da escravidão sobre as pessoas unidas por suas correntes, tanto pretas quanto brancas — entre as quais se forjam laços de sangue, no mais profundo dos sentidos. Com a introdução de NNEDI OKORAFOR

Lors de l’un de ses voyages dans le monde des esprits, elle se rend compte qu’une terrible force cherche à lui nuire. Pour en triompher, elle devra affronter son destin, sa nature, la tradition et comprendre enfin le nom que sa mère lui a donné : Qui a peur de la mort.

En cours d’adaptation par HBO. Traduit de l’anglais (États-Unis) par Laurent Philibert-Caillat.

Set in the universe Africanfuturist luminary Nnedi Okorafor first introduced in the World Fantasy Award-winning Who Fears Death, One Way Witch is the second in the She Who Knows trilogy The world has forgotten Onyesonwu. As a teen, Najeeba learned to become the beast of wind, fire and dust: the kponyungo. When that took too much from her, including the life of her father, she let it all go, and for a time, she was happy — until only a few years later, when the small, normal life she’d built was violently destroyed. Now in her forties and years beyond the death of her second husband, Najeeba has just lost her beloved daughter. Onyesonwu saved the world. Najeeba knows this well, but the world does not. This is how the juju her daughter evoked works. One other person who remembers is Onyesonwu’s teacher Aro, a harsh and hard-headed sorcerer. Najeeba has decided to ask him to teach her the Mystic Points, the powerful heart of sorcery. There is something awful Najeeba needs to kill and the Mystic Points are the only way. Najeeba is truly her daughter’s mother. When Aro agrees to help, Najeeba is at last ready to forge her future. But first, she must confront her past — for certain memories cannot lie in unmarked graves.

Preorder now and receive the stunning DELUXE LIMITED EDITION while supplies last―featuring a special alternate cover design on the hardcover case, gorgeous sprayed edges, and exclusive endpapers. This breathtaking edition is only available on a limited first print run. "Her best work yet... about fame and family, culture and change, the power of story, the writer''s life... and robots. This one has it all." -- George R.R. Martin In this exhilarating tale by New York Times bestselling and award-winning author Nnedi Okorafor, a disabled Nigerian American woman pens a wildly successful Sci-Fi novel, but as her fame rises, she loses control of the narrative--a surprisingly cutting, yet heartfelt drama about art and love, identity and connection, and, ultimately, what makes us human. This is a story unlike anything you''ve read before. The future of storytelling is here. Disabled, disinclined to marry, and more interested in writing than a lucrative career in medicine or law, Zelu has always felt like the outcast of her large Nigerian family. Then her life is upended when, in the middle of her sister''s lavish Caribbean wedding, she''s unceremoniously fired from her university job and, to add insult to injury, her novel is rejected by yet another publisher. With her career and dreams crushed in one fell swoop, she decides to write something just for herself. What comes out is nothing like the quiet, literary novels that have so far peppered her unremarkable career. It''s a far-future epic where androids and AI wage war in the grown-over ruins of human civilization. She calls it Rusted Robots. When Zelu finds the courage to share her strange novel, she does not realize she is about to embark on a life-altering journey--one that will catapult her into literary stardom, but also perhaps obliterate everything her book was meant to be. From Chicago to Lagos to the far reaches of space, Zelu''s novel will change the future not only for humanity, but for the robots who come next. A book-within-a-book that blends the line between writing and being written, Death of the Author is a masterpiece of metafiction that manages to combine the razor-sharp commentary of Yellowface with the heartfelt humanity of Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow. Surprisingly funny, deeply poignant, and endlessly discussable, this is at once the tale of a woman on the margins risking everything to be heard and a testament to the power of storytelling to shape the world as we know it.

⭐ "Readers will devour this." —Publishers Weekly (starred review) ⭐ "While this book may be short, its impact is anything but small." —Kirkus (starred review) Part science fiction, part fantasy, and entirely infused with West African culture and spirituality, this novella offers an intimate glimpse into the life of a teenager whose coming of age will herald a new age for her world. Set in the universe Africanfuturist luminary Nnedi Okorafor first introduced in the World Fantasy Award-winning Who Fears Death, this is the first in the She Who Knows trilogy When there is a call, there is often a response. Najeeba knows. She has had The Call. But how can a 13-year-old girl have the Call? Only men and boys experience the annual call to the Salt Roads. What’s just happened to Najeeba has never happened in the history of her village. But it’s not a terrible thing, just strange. So when she leaves with her father and brothers to mine salt at the Dead Lake, there’s neither fanfare nor protest. For Najeeba, it’s a dream come true: travel by camel, open skies, and a chance to see a spectacular place she’s only heard about. However, there must have been something to the rule, because Najeeba’s presence on the road changes everything and her family will never be the same. Small, intimate, up close, and deceptively quiet, this is the beginning of the Kponyungo Sorceress.

De retour sur Terre après une année passée à l’université intergalactique d’Oomza, la jeune Binti n’en a pas fini avec les surprises. Elle vient d’apprendre qu’elle est la descendante des Enyi Zinariya, un peuple extraterrestre, et se retrouve désormais capable de communiquer sans technologie tierce à travers de grandes distances. Mais la découverte de ce don, qu’elle maîtrise encore difficilement, s’accompagne d’une douloureuse nouvelle : sa famille a péri dans l’incendie de leur maison lors d’une attaque des Khoush. Pourtant, le temps du deuil n’est pas encore venu : avant tout, Binti doit parvenir à concilier ses natures humaine et extraterrestre pour ramener la paix au sein de son peuple... quel qu’en soit le prix. Un roman initiatique servi par une magnifique écriture. Un petit bijou ! Coup de cœur des libraires de la Fnac. Nnedi Okorafor conjugue l’afroféminisme au futur et brosse le portrait d’héroïnes africaines complexes, loin des stéréotypes. Jeune Afrique. Traduit de l’anglais (États-Unis) par Hermine Hémon et Erwan Devos.

Da multipremiada autora Nnedi Okorafor, Mulher Akata é best-seller do New York Times e o terceiro livro da série que começou com Bruxa Akata. O primeiro volume da série foi nomeado um dos 100 melhores livros para jovens adultos e um dos 100 melhores livros de fantasia de todos os tempos pela prestigiada revista Times. Este livro está repleto de juju. Ele é selvagem, vivo e enigmático — e está interessado em você. Ele é também sobre Sunny encontrar seu lugar no mundo, mesmo que ela deva pensar melhor a respeito. É sobre dívidas herdadas, responsabilidade e sobre assumir riscos que talvez fossem melhor evitar... Tentando se encontrar depois da batalha com Ekwensu, do julgamento e do pedido de Udide, Sunny se depara com uma nova e enorme ameaça quando a Grande Aranha Artista dá ultimato nas meninas para que lhe devolvam em sete dias o que lhe fora roubado tanto tempo antes. Porém, um objeto mágico extremamente poderoso e ameaçador como esse não estaria no Lugar Pleno. Não, a criação de Udide está bem-guardada nos confins da Vastidão, onde os meninos do clã Oha não são bem-vindos e os riscos para Sunny e Chichi são inimagináveis. Juntos, os quatro sairão de Leopardo Bate, abandonando totalmente o Lugar Pleno, para se aventurar na Vastidão, em universos paralelos e mundos incríveis que guardam segredos perigosos e criaturas assombrosas. Prepare sua faca juju e a mantenha sempre à mão, pois os perigos são muitos e as aventuras também! "Okorafor cria um estonteante e original reino de magia africana baseado em crenças e folclores nigerianos em vez de se debruçar sobre conceitos previsíveis das fantasias ocidentais." — Time Magazine "Nnedi escreve futuros gloriosos e fantasias fabulosas. Seus personagens tocam nosso coração, e suas palavras abrem nossa mente para coisas novas" — Neil Gaiman "Repleto de maravilhas mitológicas." — Rick Riordan

Within all this, I introduce you to Ejii Ugabe, a child of the worst type of politician. Back when she was nine years old, she was there as her father met his end.

Children are still learning that some people don’t deserve their love. Now 15 years old and manifesting the abilities given to her by the strange Earth, Ejii decides to go after the killer of her father. Is it for revenge or something else? You will have to find out by reading this book. I am the Desert Magician, and this is a novel I have conjured for you, so I’m certainly not going to just tell you here.

Akata Woman is the New York Times bestselling third book in the series that started with Akata Witch, named one of Time magazine''s "100 Best Fantasy Books of All Time" and "100 Best YA Books of All Time," from award-winning author Nnedi Okorafor. "In this series, Okorafor creates a stunningly original world of African magic that draws on Nigerian folk beliefs and rituals instead of relying on the predictable tropes of Western fantasy novels." —Time magazine From the moment Sunny Nwazue discovered she had mystical energy flowing in her blood, she sought to understand and control her powers. Throughout her adventures in Akata Witch and Akata Warrior, she had to navigate the balance between nearly everything in her life—America and Nigeria, the "normal" world and the one infused with juju, human and spirit, good daughter and powerful Leopard Person. Now, those hard lessons and abilities are put to the test in a quest so dangerous and fantastical, it would be madness to go...but may destroy the world if she does not. With the help of her friends, Sunny embarks on a mission to find a precious object hidden deep in an otherworldly realm. Defeating the guardians of the prize will take more from Sunny than she has to give, and triumph will mean she will be forever changed.

From Africanfuturist luminary Okorafor comes a new science fiction novel of intense action and thoughtful rumination on biotechnology, destiny, and humanity in a near-future Nigeria. Anwuli Okwudili prefers to be called AO. To her, these initials have always stood for Artificial Organism. AO has never really felt...natural, and that''s putting it lightly. Her parents spent most of the days before she was born praying for her peaceful passing because even in-utero she was "wrong". But she lived. Then came the car accident years later that disabled her even further. Yet instead of viewing her strange body the way the world views it, as freakish, unnatural, even the work of the devil, AO embraces all that she is: A woman with a ton of major and necessary body augmentations. And then one day she goes to her local market and everything goes wrong. Once on the run, she meets a Fulani herdsman named DNA and the race against time across the deserts of Northern Nigeria begins. In a world where all things are streamed, everyone is watching the "reckoning of the murderess and the terrorist" and the "saga of the wicked woman and mad man" unfold. This fast-paced, relentless journey of tribe, destiny, body, and the wonderland of technology revels in the fact that the future sometimes isn''t so predictable. Expect the unaccepted.

Nnedi Okorafor''s acclaimed first novel for middle grade readers introduces a boy who can access super powers with the help of the magical Ikenga. Nnamdi''s father was a good chief of police, perhaps the best Kalaria had ever had. He was determined to root out the criminals that had invaded the town. But then he was murdered, and most people believed the Chief of Chiefs, most powerful of the criminals, was responsible. Nnamdi has vowed to avenge his father, but he wonders what a twelve-year-old boy can do. Until a mysterious nighttime meeting, the gift of a magical object that enables super powers, and a charge to use those powers for good changes his life forever. How can he fulfill his mission? How will he learn to control his newfound powers? Award-winning Nnedi Okorafor, acclaimed for her Akata novels, introduces a new and engaging hero in her first novel for middle grade readers set against a richly textured background of contemporary Nigeria.

Mon nom est Sunny Nwazue et je perturbe les gens. Je suis Nigériane de sang, Américaine de naissance et albinos de peau. Être albinos fait du soleil mon ennemi. C’est pour ça que je n’ai jamais pu jouer au foot, alors que je suis douée. Je ne pouvais le faire que la nuit. Bien sûr, tout ça, c’était avant cette fameuse après-midi avec Chichi et Orlu, quand tout a changé. Maintenant que je regarde en arrière, je vois bien qu’il y avait eu des signes avant-coureurs. Rien n’aurait pourtant pu me préparer à ma véritable nature de Léopard. Être un Léopard, c’est posséder d’immenses pouvoirs. Si j’avais su en les acceptant qu’il me faudrait sauver le monde, j’y aurais peut-être réfléchi à deux fois. Mais, ce que j’ignorais alors, c’est que je ne pouvais pas empêcher mon destin de s’accomplir.

A powerful journey from star athlete to sudden paralysis to creative awakening, award-winning science fiction writer Nnedi Okorafor shows that what we think are our limitations have the potential to become our greatest strengths. Nnedi Okorafor was never supposed to be paralyzed. A college track star and budding entomologist, Nnedi’s lifelong battle with scoliosis was just a bump in her plan—something a simple operation would easily correct. But when Nnedi wakes from the surgery to find she can’t move her legs, her entire sense of self begins to waver. Confined to a hospital bed for months, unusual things begin to happen. Psychedelic bugs crawl her hospital walls; strange dreams visit her nightly. Nnedi begins to put these experiences into writing, conjuring up strange, fantastical stories. What Nnedi discovers during her confinement would prove to be the key to her life as a successful science fiction author: In science fiction, when something breaks, something greater often emerges from the cracks. In Broken Places & Outer Spaces, Nnedi takes the reader on a journey from her hospital bed deep into her memories, from her painful first experiences with racism as a child in Chicago to her powerful visits to her parents’ hometown in Nigeria. From Frida Kahlo to Mary Shelly, she examines great artists and writers who have pushed through their limitations, using hardship to fuel their work. Through these compelling stories and her own, Nnedi reveals a universal truth: What we perceive as limitations have the potential to become our greatest strengths—far greater than when we were unbroken. A guidebook for anyone eager to understand how their limitations might actually be used as a creative springboard, Broken Places & Outer Spaces is an inspiring look at how to open up new windows in your mind.
