Collected African Stories Volume Two

The second volume of Doris Lessing’s Collected African Stories is a classic work from the winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature.

This much-acclaimed collection of stories vividly evokes both the grandeur of Africa and the glare of its sun and the wide open space, as well as the great, irresolvable tensions between whites and blacks.

Tales of poor white farmers and their lonely wives, of storm air thick with locusts, of ants and pomegranate trees, black servants and the year of hunger in a native village – all combine to present a powerful image of a continent that seems incorruptible in spite of all the people who plough, mine and plunder it to make their living.

In Doris Lessing’s own words, "Africa gives you the knowledge that man is a small creature, among other creatures, in a large landscape."
