"If there is a more urgent and indispensible playwright in world theatre than South Africa's Athol Fugard, I don't know who it could be."—Jack Kroll, Newsweek One of the true contemporary masters of the stage, South African playwright Athol Fugard has written one of his most stunning works. Sorrows and Rejoicings explores the legacy of Apartheid on two women—one white, the other black—who on the surface seem to have little in common except for their love of one man, a white poet who is attached to the Karoo land of South Africa. The drama moves between past and present, reliving the poet's despondent years in exile and his eventual return to a new South Africa. With lyrical grace, Fugard once again demonstrates the human struggle to transcend the treacherous injustices of history.South African playwright, actor and director, Athol Fugard is one of the world's leading theatre artists, of whom The New Yorker has said, «A rare playwright, who could be a primary candidate for either the Nobel Prize on Literature or the Nobel Peace Prize.»Also available by Athol Fugard: The Road to Mecca PB $11.95 0-930452-79-8 - USA My Children!

Произведения южноафриканского драматурга идут на сценах многих стран мира. Его искусство проникнуто сочувствием людям, прозябающим в нищете и бесправии, протестом против бесчеловечной системы апартеида. В предлагаемых читателю пьесах "Кровные узы", "Здесь живут люди", "Учиться у алоэ" автор показывает, как расовое неравенство, узаконенное в ЮАР, разрушает человеческие отношения, любовь, порождает отчужденность и вражду. Философско-психологическая драма "Диметос" развенчивает жизненную позицию талантливой личности, искусственно оградившей себя от людей, их горестей и надежд.

Это история о двух братьях - Захарьи и Моррисе. Дети одной матери, они тем не менее выглядят совершенно по-разному. У Захарьи кожа тёмная, у Морриса же настолько светлая, что его можно принять за белого. Жизнь их течёт раз и навсегда заведённым порядком: Захарья отправляется на работу, Моррис готовит, прибирает в лачуге. Единственное, что согревает братьев, - мечта скопить когда-нибудь денег и приобрести собственную ферму, пусть самую крошечную. И всё же однажды эта лишенная хотя бы малых радостей жизнь становится совершенно непереносимой. И тут Моррис придумывает игру, которая, он надеется, поможет им скрасить унылое существование: пусть Захария познакомится с девушкой по переписке. Он пишет под диктовку Захарьи письма - тот не умеет ни читать, ни писать, - и всё идёт нормально, пока от девушки не приходят письмо с фотографией и сообщением о скором приезде. Известие производит эффект разорвавшейся бомбы: ведь девушка оказывается белой.

Tsotsi is an angry young gang leader in the South African township of Sophiatown. A man without a past, he exists only to kill and steal. But one night, in a moonlit grove of bluegum trees, a woman he attempts to rape forces a shoebox into his arms. The box contains a baby, and his life is inexorably changed. He begins to remember his childhood, to rediscover himself and his capacity for love.

Turned into an Oscar-winning movie in 2006, Tsotsi's raw power and rare humanity show how decency and compassion can survive against the odds.
