Rainbow in the Night English 2010

IN 1652 A Small Group of Dutch Farmers landed on the southernmost tip of Africa. Their saga - bloody, ferocious and fervent - would culminate three centuries later in one of the greatest tragedies in history. This would only end with the liberation from prison of one of the moral giants of our time, Nelson Mandela. Dominique Lapierre relates this powerful historical drama by telling the story of the heroic men and women - famous and obscure, white and black. European and African - who have, with their blood and tears, brought to life the country that is today known as the Rainbow Nation. World - renowned humanitarian and international best - selling author of The City of Joy and co - author of Is Paris Burning?, O Jerusalem and The Fifth Horseman, Dominique Lapierre spent three years researching A Rainbow in the Night in order to write his epic account of South Africa's tumultuous history. A Rainbow in the Night has received international acclaim in United States, France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Brazil, China and Korea.
