Born in a South Africa divided by racism and hatred, this one small boy will come to lead all the tribes of Africa. Through enduring friendships with Hymie and Gideon, Peekay gains the strength he needs to win out. And in a final conflict with his childhood enemy, the Judge, Peekay will fight to the death for justice.

Opis od Audible
Why You Should Download This Audiobook: Good character dramas are best shared with others, like good wine on special occasions. Bryce Courtenay's wonderful story of a child coming of age in a country ripped apart by racism is such a vintage—rich and complex, an experience you'll want to talk about long after the last words are spoken.

Der Sprecher ist fantastisch und gibt den südafrikanischen Akzent sehr authentisch wieder.
Eine spannende, rührende, interessante Geschichte die noch länger sein müsste!
Großartig!

This book is a mixture of coming of age, madcap adventures with unforgettable characters, history lesson (deep roots of apartheid, antagonism between Boer and English whites, impact of WW2 on South Africa and so much more), and A LOT on boxing. Not a sport I had previously held any fondness for, but the passion and techniques are described in such a way that I read them with interest (and learnt something!)
There were deeply moving and sad sections interspersed laugh out loud moments, and many characters will live on in my head.
“First with the head, then with the heart”.
PS. Excellently narrated by Humphrey Bower who does all the different accents so vividly.
Moving and unforgettable

It is a fate. Now I'm looking forward to reading more by Bryce Courtenay, because his books are exactly the kind of a life story I am seeking for.
The Power of One takes place in South Africa and covers the period of time from the early 1930s up to the late 1940s, the birth of apartheid. It tells a touching and a moving life story of Peekay, an English boy, beautifully written and with a great insight into the cultural background of the country, and a lot of love to the people and the continent itself.
Excellent character development and a very strong story-line.
Despite my loving of Humphrey Bower narration and his astonishing skills to present all kind of dialects/accents in different voices, I have contradicted feelings about his narrating here. My own fault though. I shouldn't have picked up this audiobook immediately after Shantaram, too strong were the connection of Humphrey Bower to Lin (Shantaram).
Lin narrating a five year old boy took some time for me to get used to it.
Great!

Die Erzählung ist voller menschlicher Wärme und es fehlt ihr nicht an Humor.
Ich habe außerdem einiges über die Geschichte Südafrikas gelernt.
Humphrey Bower, der Sprecher, ist super!
Ein Beispiel für unglaubliche Resilienz
