A propos de cet article

Hardback. First Edition. Price clipped to D/J. Desmond Tuto is rarely out of the news. The first black Anglican priest to be Archbishop of Cape Town, recipient of the Nobel Peace prize, a passionatre spokesman for the blacks of South Africa, an orator and wit, he has become a controversial figure who arouses suspicion and hostility as well as love and reverence. Pastor or self-publicist, churchman or politician, reconciler or rabble-rouser, peacemaker or agitator? - these are the questions the author set out to anseer in this metaculously researched and sensitive biographical portrait. His emergence as a national and international figure is charted through the eyes of those who have known and observed him at close quarters. The portrait that unfolds takes us deep into the man and is full of surprises. His faults are not camoflaged, his virtues inspire admiration and affection. The story is told against the history of apartheid, and conflict between the Church and the South African government over the very meaning of Christianity. This is not, however, a sombre book. Tutu's infectious humour, his unquenchable hope and madnanimity runs like a golden thread through the dark history of his country and lifetime. And the character of this man improbably pitched into a struggle that has shaken the world proves to be as rare and remarkable as any in our century. Illustrated. 286 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).
