Devil on the Cross

Devil on the Cross is an acclaimed novel by prominent East African writer Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o, issued as part of the African Classics Series. Originally written while the author was imprisoned, the narrative uses allegorical and satirical storytelling to examine greed, exploitation, and moral corruption in post-colonial society.

Set in Kenya, the book traces the journeys and tribulations of its characters as they confront societal injustices, hypocrisy, and the struggles of ordinary working people. Rich in cultural symbolism and dramatic narrative, it remains one of Ngũgĩ's most celebrated and influential works of fiction.

This paperback edition is well suited for secondary school literature classes, university students, and general readers across Uganda interested in foundational modern African literature.
