500    "First edition (in Tigrinya), Pietro Silla Printing Press,
       Asmara ([1927], 1950)." 
504    Includes bibliographical references.

       edition -- A portrait of youth -- The departure from 
       Asmara -- Deep in the wilderness -- The thirst of death. 
520    Eloquent and thought-provoking, this classic novel by the 
       Eritrean novelist Gebreyesus Hailu, written in Tigrinya in
       1927 and published in 1950, is one of the earliest novels 
       written in an African language and will have a major 
       impact on the reception and critical appraisal of African 
       literature. The Conscript depicts, with irony and 
       controlled anger, the staggering experiences of the 
       Eritrean ascari, soldiers conscripted to fight in Libya by
       the Italian colonial army against the nationalist Libyan 
       forces fighting for their freedom from Italy's colonial 
       rule. Anticipating midcentury thinker.
