Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. MAS DE UN MILLON DE EJEMPLARES VENDIDOS NOMBRADO UNO DE LOS MEJORES LIBROS DEL ANO POR Michiko Kakutani, New York Times USA Today San Francisco Chronicle NPR Esquire Newsday Booklist La impresionante trayectoria de Trevor Noah, desde su infancia en Sudafrica durante el apartheid hasta el escritorio de The Daily Show, comenzo con un acto criminal: su nacimiento. Trevor nacio de un padre suizo blanco y una madre Xhosa negra, en una epoca de la historia sudafricana en que tal union era castigada con cinco anos de prision. Como prueba viviente de la indiscrecion de sus padres, Trevor permanecio los primeros anos de su vida bajo el estricto resguardo de su madre, quien se veia obligada a tomar medidas extremas y, a veces, absurdas para ocultar a Trevor de un gobierno que podria, en cualquier momento, llevarselo. Prohibido nacer es la historia de un nino travieso que se convierte en un joven inquieto mientras lucha por encontrarse a si mismo en un mundo en el que nunca se suponia que debia existir. Tambien es la historia de la relacion de ese joven con su intrepida, rebelde y ferviente madre religiosa: su companera de equipo, una mujer decidida a salvar a su hijo del ciclo de pobreza, violencia y abuso que en ultima instancia amenazaria su propia vida.ENGLISH DESCRIPTION#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER The compelling, inspiring, and comically sublime story of one mans coming-of-age, set during the twilight of apartheid and the tumultuous days of freedom that followedNAMED ONE OF PASTES BEST MEMOIRS OF THE DECADE NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY Michiko Kakutani, New York Times USA Today San Francisco Chronicle NPR Esquire Newsday BooklistTrevor Noahs unlikely path from apartheid South Africa to the desk of The Daily Show began with a criminal act: his birth. Trevor was born to a white Swiss father and a black Xhosa mother at a time when such a union was punishable by five years in prison. Living proof of his parents indiscretion, Trevor was kept mostly indoors for the earliest years of his life, bound by the extreme and often absurd measures his mother took to hide him from a government that could, at any moment, steal him away. Finally liberated by the end of South Africas tyrannical white rule, Trevor and his mother set forth on a grand adventure, living openly and freely and embracing the opportunities won by a centuries-long struggle.Born a Crime is the story of a mischievous young boy who grows into a restless young man as he struggles to find himself in a world where he was never supposed to exist. It is also the story of that young mans relationship with his fearless, rebellious, and fervently religious motherhis teammate, a woman determined to save her son from the cycle of poverty, violence, and abuse that would ultimately threaten her own life.The stories collected here are by turns hilarious, dramatic, and deeply affecting. Whether subsisting on caterpillars for dinner during hard times, being thrown from a moving car during an attempted kidnapping, or just trying to survive the life-and-death pitfalls of dating in high school, Trevor illuminates his curious world with an incisive wit and unflinching honesty. His stories weave together to form a moving and searingly funny portrait of a boy making his way through a damaged world in a dangerous time, armed only with a keen sense of humor and a mothers unconventional, unconditional love.
