Journey Continued Explained

Journey Continued: An Autobiography is the second part of South African writer Alan Paton's autobiography. The first book was Towards the Mountain. In his Journey, he wrote about his life after the publication of his debut novel, Cry the Beloved Country (1948), which was so influential.

Paton had completed the writing and correction of this book, but he died in 1988, before it was published later that year.[1]

Topics

The book addresses a wide variety of topics, personal, professional, philosophical, and political. For example, it discusses the way in which Paton's Cry, The Beloved Country was adapted for Broadway theatre.[2] It also discusses the Christian basis for Paton's activism.[3]

Journey Continued outlines Paton's long and deep involvement with the Liberal Party of South Africa. He explores his views on liberalism and its distinction from other political philosophies.[4] [5] [6]
