Description

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."
