  Cry the Beloved Country is the deeply moving story of the Zulu pastor Stephen Kumalo and his son Absalom, set against the background of a land and a people riven by racial injustice. Remarkable for its contemporaneity, unforgettable for character and incident, Cry the Beloved Country is a classic work of love and hope, courage and endurance, born of the dignity of man.

  In the city of Johannesburg a father seeks his delinquent son. His search takes him through a labyrinth of murder, prostitution, racial hatred and, ultimately, reconciliation. In CRY, THE BELOVED COUNTRY Alan Paton addresses the problem of race relations in South Africa with the scrupulousness of the historian, the sensitivity of a poet. Forty years after its creation, it remains the classic narrative of racial tension - intensely pertinent, unforgettably poignant.
