Odyssey on the Horizon
About This Novel
The narrator stands as a spokesman for an indigenous nation that has been overrun and abused by imperialist colonizers. He recalls the deep beauty of his homeland in a lyrical and stream-of-consciousness way, and accuses imperialists and chauvinists, mainly in the Western world, of exploiting and alienating the simple creatures of this nation. When the indigenous civilization met the Western civilization, under the strong impact of the economy, military, technology and civilization of the Western industrial civilization, the indigenous civilization retreated and died. People were forced to leave their homeland, their familiar production methods and daily routines, and go to the Western civilized world to earn wages and make a living. While describing this change, the author also brings up a global dilemma we are facing today: forced migration.
