Wole Soyinka
Dramaturgo y poeta; primer premio Nobel de Literatura africano
El dramaturgo que convirtió la conciencia en un arma contra la tiranía.
El ascenso
Dramaturgo, poeta y ensayista, Soyinka fue en 1986 el primer africano en recibir el premio Nobel de Literatura.
Lo que hicieron
Across plays, memoirs, and essays — and at real personal risk — he has confronted dictatorship and corruption in Nigeria and beyond, even enduring imprisonment for his activism.
El cuadro completo
Uncompromising and combative, he has feuded with governments and peers alike, never trading his independence for comfort.
Por qué importa
Soyinka proves that the writer's voice, fearlessly used, is itself a form of political leadership.
“The man dies in all who keep silent in the face of tyranny.”
