Bernard Levin talks to Alan Paton
When ALAN PATON published his first novel, Cry the Beloved Country, he was 45 and immersed in the struggle against racial injustice in South Africa. He has been an active politician and a penal reformer, testing his liberal ideals and Christian faith against the harsh realities of apartheid. Now, at 78, he has just published his autobiography Towards the Mountain.
