«Un turbulent silence» is the historical novel by André Brink, published by Stock in paperback (571 pages, in French).
Set in nineteenth-century South Africa, the novel interweaves passion, violence and memory around the uprising of a slave named Galant. Galant's struggle for emancipation becomes an emblem of the dignity of an oppressed people, while Brink's prose combines historical drama with an intense African rootedness.
The translation from English is by Jean Guiloineau. The 1982 edition belongs to the Nouveau Cabinet Cosmopolite collection.
It is intended for readers of historical fiction and South African literature who appreciate stories of rebellion, collective memory and social denunciation.
André Philippus Brink was a South African novelist, essayist and poet. He wrote in both Afrikaans and English and taught English at the University of Cape Town.
