Mh. Balozi na Mkuu wa Wilaya ya nanihino,Nimesisimkwa sana na mdau wa dodoma anavyochangamsha globu ya jamii kwa kutukumbusha mambo mbalimbali ya zamani. mie nami natoa kamchango kango kwenye mada ya kumbukumbu kwa kuuliza wadau kama wanakumbuka novo za james hardley chase ambazo kwa kiwango kikubwa zilikuwa chachandu katika kuleta utamaduni wa kusoma na pia kupata mazoezi mazuri ya kiinglishi.
mie nilianza kusoma 'well now my pretty' nikafuatia na 'one bright summer morning' ambao baada ya hapo nikaja kusoma karibu vyote kama vile 'lay her among the lillies' , 'cade', 'the vulture is a patient bird' n.k. na hadisi zake nakumbuka hadi leo kwa jinsi zilivyokuwa tamu. wadau mnamkumbuka mark garland na yule adui silk?
haya mliosoma vitabu hivyo leteni uhondo hapa... sijui siku hizi vijana wanajisomea nini maana hapa nyumbani nakutaga marundo ya magazeti ya udaku tu. hata sijui kwa nini watu hawasomi siku hizi.
Mdau wa Newala
DU! Mdau unanikumbusha mbali sana, kwani baba yangu alikuwa mpenzi sana wa novel za James Hardley Chase. nakumbuka wakati huo (80s) nilikuwa mdogo, nilikuwa kiingereza bado sijui, nilipoanza kujua kiingereza nilisoma kama vitatu vinne hivi you you never know with women, Malory, lay her among the lilies, na kingine zikumbuki vizuri title yake..something..shroud
ReplyDeleteMpaka baba yangu alipofariki(1991) alikuwa navyo vitabu 16 vya chase.Ila niliambiwa jamaa alikuwa hatungi mwenyewe, wanatunga wengine wanatumia jina lake, je hiyo ni kweli?????
UNAKUMBUKA vile vya Fredrick Forsth kama Alternative devil etc. Hivyo niliishia kusoma back cover tu, kwani jamaa kiingereza chake kilikuwa kigumu sana kwangu kwa wakati ule!!
ASANTE
mmmh umenikumbusha mbali. Knock knock who is there, one bright summer morning, no orchids for miss Blandish, consider yourself dead, the dead stay dumb etc. Enzi hizo akifundisha mwalimu somo halipandi unakuwa na novel yako mapajani unateleza taratibu. Lakini zilisaidia sana ki English.
ReplyDeleteDu!! Mdau wa Newala, umenikumbusha 'Novo' ya James Hadley Chase kwa jina la 'You Have Yourself A Deal ' niliyoisoma nikiwa majeshi(JKT)mwaka 1983 Operation Safisha kule Itende. Yaani ilikuwa afande akisema tano bora basi mimi mkono unazama kwenye mfuko wa 'kombati' na ukitoa umeshikilia 'novo' na kuendelea 'kuila', nikiwa 'gadi' ndio nilikuwa najiachia kabisa...lakini SIYO ile 'gadi' ya 'AMARE'!!!, 'gadi' ninazosema mimi ni zile za bustani na ya kule chini kwenye mikahawa kuzuia 'raia' wasikatishe njia!! sijui kama bado ipo mpaka leo, ha ha haaa.
ReplyDeleteKwenye kitabu hicho nakumbuka kisa cha mmarekani Mark Girland wa CIA na hasimu wake wa kirusi Malik kutoka KGB walipokutana mitaa ya Paris kule Ufaransa kwenye kisa kilichomhusisha binti 'mblondi' aliyekutwa amezirai akiwa na alama takoni mwake za mwanasayansi wa kichina wa nguvu za atomiki. Kwa kifupi nakumbuka kazi ilikuwa Mark Girland(CIA) anamtaka binti huyo ili baadae akizinduka apamtie siri ya matengenezo ya silaha hizo, Malik(KGB) anamtaka pia kwa sababu hizo hizo, na kwa upande mwingine Wachina nao wanamtafuta binti huyo kwa udi na uvumba ili wamuue kabla hajatoa 'siri'..... yaani ni raha tupo. Vitabu hivyo vilisaidia mtu kuwa na hamu ya kusoma hadithi za kiingereza na hata kuongea; lakini siku hizi mmmh!! kama ulivyosema Mdau wa Newala vijana siku hizi hawasomi vitabu, wanasoma magazeti ya udaku tu kwa kwenda mbele na wale wa mijini wakishasoma wenye vijisenti vyao kidogo ndio wanakwenda kushinda internet cafe!!! Tutafika?
Wakatabahu
Hehe balozi wa nani hii ilikuwa ni Mark Girland na Malik sio silk walikuwa wakipigiana mikwala kama 'Next time I meet you i will buy you a cup of coffee'. Nakumbuka the Whiff of money, sucker punch, i hold the four aces, gimme a favour drop dead, Hit and run, the world in my pocket, safer dead, an ear to the ground (al barney ' if you get time to eat, eat to the maximum coz you never know when the next meal is to come'), tell it to the birds akina Maddox, steve hamas watalamu wa insurance cases. Police mashuhuri 'Obrien'(he is cop cop all over his body).Mission to seana, mission to venice, the coffin from Hong kong (Fear is the key to open the wallet of the rich) , i would rather stay poor, duh nilisomaga nyingi mno sikumbuki kama kuna niliyoibakiza.
ReplyDeleteKweli! Ukisoma moja, lazima utatafuta nyingine. Wakati huo hazipo kabisa mitaani. Unauliza kila mtu. Mimi nilikuwa napata kutoka kwa Padre mmoja pale Mbeya. Sasa hivi vimejaa mikononi mwa chingas pale Dar si mchezo!
ReplyDeleteKweli kiinglish changu kilinolewa sana wakati huo...
"The whiff of money","Come Easy,GO Easy",etc.

Wasomaji wa hizo novel wataona ni jinsi gani zilinivyonitia uchizi mpaka kutunga story kwa kutumia title,
Masud
Baada ya kuwa nimesoma novo karibu zote za Chase (Panther and Corgi) alikuja mwalimu wangu mmoja wa hisabati akiitwa Hans Liganger toka Norway na kutuambia kundini kwamba vitabu tunavyosoma (yaani Chase) ni, kwa maneno yake mwenyewe, "simple minded". Kwa umri wangu miaka ya mwisho ya sabini na themanini hapakuwa na novo bora zaidi ya hizo. Leo hii siwezi kukaa chini na kukisoma. Hukaa nikajiuliza yule mwalimu hakuwa anajua mienendo ya umri au ni kweli vitabu vile vilikuwa havina manufaa?
ReplyDeleteMbali ya yote yangu ya mwanzo ilikuwa Like a Hole in the Head ikifuatiwa (kama huyo mdau hapo juu) na One Bright Summer Morning. Mtakaokumbuka zile za kusisimua sana zilipewa majina yasiyosisimua kama vile The Way the Cookie Crumbles, This Way for a Shroud na Cade lakini mabomu yalipewa majina ya kuvutia kama You are Dead Without Money. Characters wakubwa walikuwa Poke Tohora (a Seminole - his formula was that fear is the key which opens the wallets and handbags of the rich...), Vitto Ferrari ambaye akikaa kitini miguu haigusi chini lakini akiua kuliko waliovamia Iraki. Of course nani atamsahau Mark Girland - kiboko ya Warusi na detective Lepsky toka Paradise City.
Kwa undani na kumbukumbu zaidi wasiliana na rafiki yangu wa miaka hiyo - the Greek George Alexco Karras ambaye aliweza kusimulia mstari kwa mstari wa kila novo aloisoma - na, niamini, alizisoma zote. His sister Maria was just so cute with blue eyes.
Got this phrase from one of the chase baook 'when a man loves a woman nothing stands on his way..."
ReplyDeleteor this one, got match on you buddy...
Hizo novo zilikuwa poa nakumbuka unamaliza unatafuta nyingine...kwa kuongezea tu..Mission to Sienna, mission to Venice..
ReplyDeleteAISEE WE ACHA TU MIMI NILIYESOMA JUZI JUZI 1991 NIKIWA FORM THREE NOVEL ZA CHASE ZILINISAIDIA SANA KUJIBU BARUA ZA MA BINTI WA KIFUNGILO KIINGEREZA CHAO KILISABABISHA WENGI TUJIFUNZE KI-ENGLISH KWA NGUVU LA SIVYO UTAISHIA KUSALIMIA TU!
ReplyDeleteYeah ni mojawapo ya watunzi wa novel ambazo kwa kusema ukweli inaweza kumchukua msomaji kimawazo mpaka eneo la tukio analosoma, mara kwa mara miji ya vienna, paris, monaco, rome, geneva, newyork london huwa haikosi, kwa kweli James hardley Chase ametusaidia wengi kukuza ktk lugha ya wakoloni, Unakumbuka "No Orchid for Miss blandish" (mambo ya Magrison Gang), "I could rather stay poor", "you've got it coming", "The tortoise","An ace up on my sleeve", "I hold four aces", "Have a good night" na vingine vingi
ReplyDeleteKwa taarifa ni kwamba James Hadley Chase japo alianza kama mwandishi hakuandika novo nyingi. Jina hilo lilikuja likawa ni brand tu ikitumiwa na waandishi walokiandika theme za crime/fiction baada ya mafanikio yake ya mwanzo huku yeye akiendelea kukatiwa chake. Wachapishaji wa Corgi na Panther ndo walionunua haki miliki ya jina.
ReplyDeleteJamani nilikuwa nikishika novel ya chase naimaliza kwa siku moja tu, marafiki zangu wote walikuwa wanasoma "mills and boon", wakawa wananiambia ati nasoma novel za kiume, doubdle shuffle was my best, yule dada walisema alikuwa anapaka perfume ya "Joy", huwezi amini nimeitafuta sana hiyo perfume lakini sijaipata kwa jinsi ilivyosifiwa ktk hiyo novel, wangemtaja designer wake labda ningeipata..Anyway, Baada ya kuvisoma almost vyote na nilipoingia form 4 nikaanza kusoma vya Sidney Sheldon, nimevisoma navyo vyote, yaani kwa aliyekuwa anapenda Chase lazima ataenjoy Sydney Sheldon(RIP)
ReplyDeleteBasi wale marafiki zangu waliokuwa wanasoma mills and boon wao wakahamia kwa "Danielle Steel"..hahahahah. mmenikumbusha mbali sana
Do you want to stay alive!
ReplyDeletendio ninayo kumbuka
na nakumbuka hii phrase
poketoholo was a seminolo indian
his invented a formula that fear is the key that unlock the pockets and the wallets of rich man
but chuck a cop killer at eighteen didnt work to the fomula.....
captain terell lumbered in....
hiyo ilikuwa imeandikwa kwa nyuma ya novel
huo ni mwaka 82...
nilizisoma kama 56...
nikandika summary zake
good topic, good memory
uzee noma
masawe
James Hadley Chase ilikuwa ni "pen name" yake na alikuwa Mwingereza ingawa vitabu vyake vingi alivitunga kwa taswira za kimarekani. Kwa kweli kwa wakati huo wengi tulipokuwa sekondari miaka ya 70 na 80 ilikuwa ni must kusoma vitabu vyake. Vilikuwa ni "fast reading" na "simple minded" kama alivyosema mdau Al Musoma. Kwa upande wangu mbali na kumsoma Chase sana nilikuwa mpenzi sana wa vitabu vya Alistair Maclean ambaye vitabu vyake vingi vimechezwa sinema. Wadau mnakumbuka Where Eagles Dare, Ice Station Zebra, The Guns of Navarone n.k.

ReplyDeleteKaribu kwa kila novel yake jamaa anajaribu kupata pesa kubwa kwa kufanya uhalifu, halafu mambo yanaenda kombo. Kwa kifupi vitabu vyake karibu vyote vilikuwa "unputdownable":-)
