Autobiography of an Unknown Man traces the author's life from his birth, childhood in England and Namibia, years at boarding school and university, his early successes, family life, two disastrous marriages, the success of his company created and developed in Namibia during the South West African Border War with Angola, the company's move to South Africa and its collapse after President P.W. Botha's 1985 "Rubicon" speech that nearly brought South Africa to its knees. The company's takeover by IGI Ltd., and IGI's decision to abandon the construction industry in 1990 and Chris's decision to leave South Africa for Hong Kong in search of a new beginning are all covered. The book traces the author's life working in the Far East, South East Asia and the Middle East and culminates in his retirement to Hua Hin in Thailand. An unusual feature of this autobiography is that it correlates the author's life with world and South African/Namibian events from Chris's birth in 1941 to his retirement in 2012.

WINNER OF THE THURBER PRIZE The compelling, inspiring, (often comic) coming-of-age story of Trevor Noah, set during the twilight of apartheid and the tumultuous days of freedom that followed. One of the comedy world's brightest new voices, Trevor Noah is a light-footed but sharp-minded observer of the absurdities of politics, race and identity, sharing jokes and insights drawn from the wealth of experience acquired in his relatively young life. As host of the US hit show The Daily Show with Trevor Noah, he provides viewers around the globe with their nightly dose of biting satire, but here Noah turns his focus inward, giving readers a deeply personal, heartfelt and humorous look at the world that shaped him. Noah was born a crime, son of a white Swiss father and a black Xhosa mother, at a time when such a union was punishable by five years in prison. Living proof of his parents' indiscretion, Trevor was kept mostly indoors for the first years of his life, bound by the extreme and often absurd measures his mother took to hide him from a government that could, at any moment, take him away. A collection of eighteen personal stories, Born a Crime tells the story of a mischievous young boy growing into a restless young man as he struggles to find his place in a world where he was never supposed to exist. Born a Crime is equally the story of that young man's fearless, rebellious and fervently religious mother - a woman determined to save her son from the cycle of poverty, violence and abuse that ultimately threatens her own life. Whether subsisting on caterpillars for dinner during hard times, being thrown from a moving car during an attempted kidnapping, or just trying to survive the life-and-death pitfalls of dating in high school, Noah illuminates his curious world with an incisive wit and an unflinching honesty. His stories weave together to form a personal portrait of an unlikely childhood in a dangerous time, as moving and unforgettable as the very best memoirs and as funny as Noah's own hilarious stand-up. Born a Crime is a must read.

An autobiography of a South African Black, this book tells of the life of a political activist, driven into exile, back to his homeland, and to return into exile again. It explores his formative experiences, and the traumatic impact of apartheid on a life. Yet, the phoenix rose from the ashes! Through the narrative, one follows his flight into exile, and its implications on his professional and family life. Still, he yearned to be involved in rebuiliding a nation oppressed for centuries. His story describes his homecoming to South Africa, post-apartheid, and his extensive work in Public Health through the Health Development Institute - a ground-breaking, multi-disciplinary venture that reached out to the "have-not"s. Born poor and schooled by missionaries, Mxolisi encountered interrogation by the South African Security Forces as a schoolboy. The hounding followed him through university, medical school and private practice, culminating in flight into exile when assassination was imminent. His return "home" was fruitful, but opened his eyes to unanticipated political hurdles and disappointment: Were his beloved people free in name only? This is a tale of one forced to flee, yet again: his journey "From Exile to Exile".

Down second avenue is Es'kia Mphahlele's autobiography of his South African childhood and his struggle against discrimination. The memoir tells of Es'kia's childhood in Maupaneng, a small village outside Pietersburg, and Marabastad, a location in Pretoria. Here he showed academic promise. This resulted in a career as a teacher. After a number of years, though, he was barred from teaching because of his vocal opposition to the segregation and discrimination occurring in schools. Mphahlele then worked for Drum magazine in various capacities. The biography culminates in his exile from South Africa in 1957. Down second avenue is Mphahlele's personal account of his struggle for identity and dignity in the face of the growing discriminatory policies of the South African government. It is a compelling mix of humour and pathos.
