Paperback. Zustand: Fair. The opening book in the Nobel Prize for Literature winners Children of Violence series tracing the life of Martha Quest from her childhood in colonial Africa to old age in post-nuclear Britain. When we first meet Martha Quest, she is a girl of fifteen living with her parents on a poor African farm. She is eager for life and resentful of the deadening narrowness of home, and escapes to take a job as a typist in the local capital. Here, in the big city, she encounters the real life she was so eager to know and understand. As a picture of colonial life, Martha Quest succeeds by the depth of its realism alone; but always at its centre is Martha, a sympathetic figure drawn with unrelenting objectivity. Marthas Africa is Doris Lessings Africa: the restrictive life of the farm; the atmosphere of racial fear and antagonism; the superficial sophistication of the city. And both Martha and Lessing are Children of Violence: the generation that was born of one world war and came of age in another, whose abrasive relationships with their parents, with one another, and with society are laid bare brilliantly by a writer who understands them better than any other. A readable copy of the book which may include some defects such as highlighting and notes. Cover and pages may be creased and show discolouration.…
