In the city of Johannesburg a father seeks his delinquent son. His search takes him through a labyrinth of murder, prostitution, racial hatred and, ultimately, reconciliation. In CRY, THE BELOVED COUNTRY Alan Paton addresses the problem of race relations in South Africa with the scrupulousness of the historian, the sensitivity of a poet. Forty years after its creation, it remains the classic narrative of racial tension - intensely pertinent, unforgettably poignant.

Review:
"A beautiful novel, rich, firm and moving-its writing is so fresh, its projection of character so immediate and 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." (New York Times)

"The greatest novel to emerge out of the tragedy of South Africa and one of the best novels of our time" (The New Republic)
Book Description:
First published in 1948, Cry The Beloved Country stands as the single most important novel in twentieth-century South African literature.
