Paperback
(Scribner, Jan. 1, 1994)
The most famous and important novel in South Africa's history is now a major motion picture from Miramax Films Starring James Earl Jones and Richard Harris. A beautiful, rich, firm and moving..its writing is so fresh, its projection of character so immediate an full, its events so compelling, and its understanding so compassionate that to read the book is to share intimately, even to the point of catharsis, in the grave human experience treated. The greatest novel to emerge out of the tragedy of South Africa, and one of the best novels of our time.
