«Llanto por la tierra amada» is the novel by South African writer Alan Paton, published by BOLSILLO ANTIG in paperback (475 pages, in Spanish).
In 1940s South Africa, Stephen Kumalo, a Zulu pastor, leaves his village to search for his son in Johannesburg; James Jarvis, a white landowner, watches from his lands a country under tension. Their destinies cross, and their personal tragedies reflect racial segregation, social injustice, and the hope of reconciliation for a divided nation.
The novel was originally published as «Cry, the Beloved Country» in 1948; this Spanish edition was translated by María Antonia Menini Pagés. In 1949 it received the Anisfield-Wolf Book Award.
Essential reading for those interested in 20th-century African literature, the history of South Africa, and socially critical novels.
