Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. 1st Edition. THE AFRICAN by William Conton: Published by Little Brown, 1960. hardcover in dustjacket. state 1st edition. William Conton sets the scene of his novel in an imaginary country. Lokko, Kisimi Kamara's home village, is not even on the map of Africa. But the…dusty houses, and the men and women who work incessantly around them, and the mothers, on whose sweaty backs the baby is lulled to sleep by the rhythmic sounds and movements of threshing rice - these are the real images of today's Africa. Just as many sad and happy interesting and exciting events in the life of the Kisimi Chamber could have happened anywhere in the awakening Africa. A new voice, a new perspective appears in William Conton's novel: the African man confesses about himself, his life, his love for a white girl, and the hatred he feels for the murderous white man."some jacket wear and tear,book inside is very good, clean and tight" GRAYPLAS.
