Description
The author of the novel «The Leopard» is the progressive Jamaican writer Victor Reed. «The Leopard» is a novella about Africa, and for that reason it will inevitably arouse strong reader interest. But among books about the African continent, Reed’s book stands apart. It is truly unusual. You can only call it a novella in a conventional sense.
This book belongs to a very special genre: a distinctive blend of modern prose with folklore, epic, and legend. It feels almost like an epic poem written in prose.
The action of «The Leopard» takes place approximately in 1952–1955 in the English colony of Kenya. At that time, Kenya became the arena of sharp and turbulent political events; a strong national liberation movement unfolded there.
The novel’s hero is an African man who rose to armed struggle against the colonizers.
