Une saison blanche et seche de 1ere

Une saison blanche et seche  de 1ere

 

In the rainy nights of Pretoria, Ben Du Toit discovers a world nearby and yet so far from his Afrikaner life. Little by little, he opens incredulous eyes on a system that he guarantees by ignorance and cowardice and maintains a community, a people, in despair and resignation. Ben's naivety is such that he still believes in a justice where any notion of color or race would be abolished, but in the eighties in South Africa, hope is a privilege of White. Far from having wanted to make his character a hero acquired for a humanitarian cause, André Brink depicts a rebellious man who will fight to understand why the police services can with impunity kill men because they are black. In the country of apartheid, the means to preserve state security are expeditious, Ben will learn at his expense. The book, banned in South Africa since its publication, today holds all the force of a testimony and remains, despite a fortunately pacified political context, a shattering humanity. --Lenaïc Gravis and Jocelyn Blériot
