Mine Boy

Bag om Mine Boy

One of the first ever African novels in English by a radical black South African writer: the 1946 classic of one boy's loves, friendships and political awakening as a mine worker in Johannesburg's slums. "The first African novel in English to draw international attention." -- New York Times "The forerunner of an entire school of African literary art." -- Sunday Times And the black man and the white were like two men alone in the world .... >In 1946, Peter Abrahams' classic novel Mine Boy exposed South Africa's fledgling racial apartheid system and townships to the world - and its wisdom, vividness and political power endures to this day. What readers are saying: "Beautiful, memorable characters [I've] remembered since my childhood. These are the kind of stories that make the world better for having been written." >>"An unsung gem, amazing ... Its simplicity makes the story such a dramatic tale."
