Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clezio's African is an intimate autobiographical novel written by the writer at the age of 64. Le Clezio writes about an African, a father who, after graduating from the British University with a specialization in tropical diseases, devoted twenty years of his life not only to the treatment of lepers and malaria sufferers, but also to the fight against the colonial society. He was the only doctor in Ogozha, this area of Cross River, and he did everything by himself. In 1948, 8-year-old Jean-Marie left France, which was turned into ruins, with his brother and mother and headed for Africa on a cargo ship. It was here, in Kayuta, in two student notebooks, that he began writing his first novels. For Le Clézio, Africa was true freedom: the frenzy of the seasons, the happiness of a free life, the joy of running barefoot in the savannah, the pleasure of destroying huge termite nests, the desire to be lost forever in the boundless forests and fields. This wild child's dream lasted for two years, but Ogozha's admiration, recollection of the past and regret that he could not understand and love his father followed the writer all his life. The African is a key book for understanding Le Clezio's work. The novel has been translated into many languages of the world. The book was published with the support of the Georgian National Book Center.
