Product Information: - Title of Product: Oromay by Girma, Baalu|Degusta, David|Yirgu, Mesfin Felleke [Royal Edition] Author: Girma, Baalu|Degusta, David|Yirgu, Mesfin Felleke Number of Pages: 416 Publication Year: 2025 Language: English Book Synopsis: - A journalist finds himself embroiled in a disastrous government campaign as well as a sweeping romance in this landmark English translation of Ethiopia's most famous novel. An engrossing political thriller and a tale of love and war for readers of John Le Carr and Philip Kerr. December 1981, Ethiopia. Tsegaye Hailemaryam, a well-known journalist for the state-run media, has just landed in Asmara. He is on assignment as the head of propaganda for the Red Star campaign, a massive effort by the Ethiopian government to end the Eritrean insurgency. There, amid the city's bars and coffeehouses buzzing with spies and government agents, he juggles the demands of his superiors while trying to reassure his fiance back home that he's not straying with Asmara's famed beauties. As Tsegaye falls in love with Asmara--and, in spite of his promises, with dazzling, enigmatic local woman Fiammetta--his misgivings about the campaign grow. Tsegaye confronts the horror of war when he is sent with an elite army unit to attack the insurgents' mountain stronghold. In the aftermath, he encounters betrayals that shake his faith in both the regime and human nature. Oromay became an instant sensation when first published in 1983 and was swiftly banned for its frank depiction of the regime. The author vanished soon thereafter; the consensus is that he was murdered in retaliation for Oromay . A sweeping and timeless story about power and betrayal in love and war, the novel remains Girma's masterpiece.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Book arrived in excellent condition and matched the description perfectly. The packaging was secure, ensuring the book was protected during shipping, and delivery was fast. The quality and appearance of the book and pages are outstanding, making it a great addition to my collection. Overall, this was a smooth transaction with good value and great communication from the seller. Highly recommend!
This book is perfect as was the communication from the Seller! It is a gift for our new Electrician grandson & he will be thrilled. The packaging was excellent, especially considering the miles it had to travel to get to us: bubble wrap padding with cardboard reinforcements inside of a plastic envelope with the perfect amount of tape to secure it all. Kudos to Royal Editions : )
It took a month to arrive, but was well worth the wait. Quality materials and binding, just as advertised. Securely packaged and sealed. A great value in an otherwise rare and out of print book.
