A propos de cet article

FIRST EDITION. 160 pp. Hardcover original orange cloth binding with spine lettered in black. Complete with original unclipped dust jacket. Some marginal closed tears to the dust jacket, but all in all excellent condition. Two lines of text neatly scored through on front flap of dust jacket. SIGNED "Roy Welensky, Broken Hill" on the ffep. Sir Roland "Roy" Welensky was a Northern Rhodesian politician, trade unionist, and the second and last Prime Minister of the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland. Peter Abraham's first full-length publication, following newspaper articles and a short volume of poetry. Abraham's collection of short stories reflects on the injustices experienced by several marginalized groups and offers his characteristic hope for a harmonious society. Abrahams (1919-2017) had harbored an ambition to be a writer since his youth, much of which was spent in poverty. In 1939, having failed to find a publisher for Dark Testament in South Africa, he left for England on a freight ship. After spending two years working as a stoker, he arrived in London and immediately submitted the manuscript to Allen & Unwin. The reviewer for the Daily News commented that Abrahams "writes with great simplicity and his stories are of the kind that make for understanding and compassionate empathy" (p. 2), but he did not achieve major success until his 1946 novel Mine Boy. In due course, Abrahams became one of the 20th century's most influential and prominent South African authors, publishing 15 works, of which the major themes are "intraracial and interracial conflict, the possibilities for resolution of such conflict, and the chances for the transcendence of racism between black people and white people" (Davis).
