First with your head and then with your heart . . .

To Peekay, a seven-year-old boy who dreams of being the welterweight champion of the world, this is a piece of advice that he will carry with him throughout his life.

Born in a South Africa divided by racism and hatred, this one small boy will come to lead all the tribes of Africa. And in a final conflict with his childhood enemy, the Judge, Peekay will fight to the death for justice.

Bryce Courtenay's classic bestseller is a story of the triumph of the human spirit – a spellbinding tale for all ages.
Now available as a Popular Penguin.

    I have been a Bryce Courtenay fan since moving to Australia in 1996 (I am back in the UK at the moment but it's only a temporary blip). It is so great to see The Power of One get such incredible recognition. Whenever I am asked, "do you have any good book recommendations?" the answer is easy and almost always The Power of One and sometimes Matthew Flinders Cat. Congratulations Bryce and well done Penguin on recognising a true classic.
