The Power of One"The Power of One has everything: suspense, the exotic, violence; mysticism, psychology and magic; schoolboy adventures, drama."

-Cleveland Plain Dealer

In 1939, as Hitler casts his enormous, cruel shadow across the world, the seeds of apartheid take root in South Africa. There, a boy called Peekay is born. His childhood is marked by humiliation and abandonment, yet he vows to survive and conceives heroic dreams-which are nothing compared to what life actually has in store for him. He embarks on an epic journey through a land of tribal superstition and modern prejudice where he will learn the power of words, the power to transform lives, and the power of one.

"Totally engrossing . . . presents] the metamorphosis of a most remarkable young man and the almost spiritual influence he has on others . . . Peekay has both humor and a refreshingly earthy touch, and his adventures, at times, are hair-raising in their suspense."
-Los Angeles Times Book Review

"Marvelous . . . It is the people of the sun-baked plains of Africa who tug at the heartstrings in this book. . . . Bryce] Courtenay draws them all with a fierce and violent love."
-The Washington Post Book World

"Impressive."
-Newsday

"A compelling tale."

Sharp, Comfortable, and Perfect for Business or Formal Wear
Color: All White, Size: 3X-Large
I recently purchased the DEMEANOR All White men’s dress shirt, and I couldn’t be happier with it. The slim fit design gives a modern, tailored look without feeling restrictive, thanks to the stretch fabric. It’s wrinkle-free, which is a huge time saver — I can wear it straight out of the closet and still look crisp and professional. The material feels soft yet durable, and the long sleeves with button cuffs add a polished touch. I especially appreciate the pocket, which is both practical and stylish. Whether I’m wearing it for business meetings, formal events, or even casual nights out, it always looks sharp. For the price, this shirt is excellent value. It combines comfort, style, and convenience in one, and I’ll definitely be ordering more colors from DEMEANOR.

SOFT, COMFORTABLE, HIGH QUALITY
Color: Black, Size: 3X-Large
This is an AMAZING shirt, the value for the quality is ASTOUNDING. The material is soft, with a slight stretch, and the stitching is well done and high quality. I’m not wearing this for its intended use, but if I was in search of another dress shirt, I’d buy this one again in a HEARTBEAT.
