From the WINNER OF THE NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE 'A work of
bewitching beauty and humanity' Chinua Achebe In 1948, a young J.
M. G. Le Clezio left behind a still-devastated Europe with his
mother and brother to join his father, a military doctor in
Nigeria, from whom he had been separated by the war. In his
characteristically intimate, poetic voice, the Nobel Prize-winning
author relates both the child's dazzled discovery of freedom in the
African savannah and the torment of recalling his fractured
relationship with a rigid, authoritarian father. Now available to
UK readers in English for the first time, The African is a poignant
memoir of a lost childhood and a tribute to a father whom Le Clezio
never really knew. His legacy is the passionate anti-colonialism
that the author has carried through his life.
