This is the first volume of Doris Lessing's Collected African Stories. A classic work of twentieth-century literature. 'In story after story, Doris Lessing portrays the helpless collisions and alienations of the races.

All else seems lost, betrayed and spoiled, except the glare of the sun, the dust, the boulders.
