Alan Paton

    11. Januar 1903 – 12. April 1988

    Alan Patons literarisches Werk befasst sich mit den tiefgreifenden Ungerechtigkeiten der Apartheid und erforscht Themen wie Rassentrennung und die Sehnsucht nach Versöhnung. Sein Schreiben zeichnet sich durch eine lyrische Stimme aus, die seine tiefe Zuneigung zur südafrikanischen Landschaft und ihren Menschen wunderschön einfängt. Durch seine Erzählungen vermittelte Paton konsequent eine kraftvolle Botschaft der Hoffnung auf eine gerechtere Zukunft. Er bleibt bedeutsam für seine Fähigkeit, die menschlichen Kosten der Unterdrückung zu artikulieren und gleichzeitig den beständigen Geist der Menschlichkeit zu fördern.
