From the back cover: "The story is a simple narrative of a worker and his family caught up in the meshes of twentieth-century politics. The hero is a young tractor driver with politically progressive sympathies, who is arrested, tortured and murdered by police of the Portuguese colonial repression [in the struggle for Angolan independence]. This is the first translation of a complete work by Vieira. It is in fact his second book, written in 1961 in Portuguese, but not available until it was published in a French translation in 1971. It was finally legally published in Portuguese in 1974". Number 202 in the African Writers Series. Cover photograph by George Hallett.
