false <![CDATA[Tsotsi]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1219161137m/4285466.jpg 212326 10 <div>Athol Fugard is renowned for his relentless explorations of personal and political survival in apartheid South Africa — which include his now classic plays Master Harold and the Boys and The Blood Knot. Fugard has written a single novel, Tsotsi, which director Gavin Hood has made into a feature film that is South Africa's official entry for the 2006 Academy Awards. Set amid the sprawling Johannesburg township of Soweto, where survival is the primary objective, Tsotsi traces six days in the life of a ruthless young gang leader. When we meet Tsotsi, he is a man without a name (tsotsi is Afrikaans for "hoodlum") who has repressed his past and now exists only to stage and execute vicious crimes. When he inadvertently kidnaps a baby, Tsotsi is confronted with memories of his own painful childhood, and this angry young man begins to rediscover his own humanity, dignity, and capacity to love. </div> 2176492 1980 Tsotsi: A Novel total:158|5:38|4:61|3:46|2:11|1:2| 158 596 238 33 5 7 false false Tue Jun 23 20:19:09 -0700 2009 Tue Aug 25 22:42:31 -0700 2009 Tsotsi

Pura-pura nggak lihat catatan-catatan si empunya buku, supaya membaca tetap dalam imajinasi sendiri, saya merasa agak bosan di awalnya, namun ternyata penggambaran detilnya yang bagus, terperinci, dan terasa nyata, membuat saya menikmati buku ini.
