Description de l’éditeur
First with your head and then with your heart. . . So says Hoppie Groenewald, boxing champion, to a seven-year-old boy who dreams of being the welterweight champion of the world. For the young Peekay, it is a piece of advice he will carry with him throughout his life. Born in a South Africa divided by racism and hatred, young Peekay will come to lead all the tribes of Africa. Through enduring friendships, he gains the strength he needs to win out. And in a final conflict with his childhood enemy, Peekay will fight to the death for justice. Bryce Courtenay's classic bestseller is a story of the triumph of the human spirit - a spellbinding tale for all ages.

Best read
I have read this book on paper back and it's the best book that I have ever read. Although it's a fictional story, it's locations are real and Bryce Courtenay captures the time, spirit and struggle in South Africa through a story that is powerful and touching. I have recommended and bought this book as gift many times and I have not come across one person who has never loved it. A purchase and read that you won't regret.
Bryce courtenay
I never was much for reading as a kid actually I hated reading and this book changed all of that.... Bryce courtenay is by far not the best book seller but the worlds best author .... Every book penned by him is never a let down but rather leaves you craving for more...In love with the words inscribed on paper that come together to create characters that touch your heart and reach the depths of your soul.....
