Cry, the Beloved Country
2 journalers for this copy...
From the back cover:
"Cry, the Beloved Country approaches the racial problems of South Africa with an intelligence, a simplicity and a compassionate sincerity which makes its reading an absorbing and deeply moving experience. Alan Paton has thought deeply and impartially and has put his heart into his subject, but he has made it bigger than argument or emotion; I don't think you will soom forget the resigned sorrow of its closing pages." --Observer
"Mr Paton's record of a simple Zulu parson's search for his delinquent son in the maelstrom of Johannesburg is as moving in the biblical simplicity of its style and drama as it is imaginatively disinterested as an account of the problems of race relations. This is as remarkable a novel for its facts as for its truth." --Guardian
This is quite an old book and the original bookring edition is in a sorry (but well-read and enjoyed) condition. You can read the comments from the original bookring here.
This edition is going to head out to Cardamaz in England.
