Title: The triumph of the human spirit over adversity.
Product review: I must say that The Power Of One is one of the most satisfying books I have read. Courtenay cleverly crafts this remarkable story about a young 'rooinek' (English) boy, Peekay, growing up in the turbulent and violently divided South Africa of the 1930's. Peekay's traumatic childhood experiences, along with the long-lasting friendships he builds, help him to overcome adversity and unite all the tribes of South Africa - white and black. Using the metaphor of boxing for human survival, Courtenay shows us how Peekay learns the Power of One, the greatest power of a human being. This novel, although large in size, is quite easily read as Courtenay wastes no words. Every person around the world should read it, as the principles and morals portrayed in this story are universal.
