[ED: Taschenbuch], [PU: Strategic Book Publishing], In a not so distant future that is uncomfortably similar to our own present, wrong is legislated into right and morality is turned upside down. In the fictional Central African nation of Gerem, the President assumes absolute power and masks a totalitarian dictatorship as a free democracy. As lechery, rape and sexual abuse are legislated into legitimacy, the rights of free speech and free expression are stripped from the people. Journalists, activists and men of good conscience are tried in kangaroo courts and sent to prison. Meanwhile the population as a whole is cowed into submission by exorbitant taxation. The Cenotaph is the story of two journalists, an activist and a preacher who are wrongly sentenced to death. But when men in power persecute their subjects, would they not burn in the same dark path that burns their victims? Will totalitarian rulers ever understand that oppression cannot render them immortal or make them gods? The book, which is the debut novel by author Michael Andem, can be perhaps regarded as a thinly veiled criticism of the current state of affairs in many African nations.
