Geocache Description:


The Power of One is a novel by Bryce Courtenay, first published in 1989. It is set in South Africa during the 1930s and 1940s, it tells the story of an Anglo-African boy who, through the course of the story, acquires the nickname of Peekay.

Peekay has a very difficult childhood. He is mentored by two men, including a professor of music and a coloured prisoner who coaches him in boxing.

Peekay befriends Hoppie Groenewald, a guard. Groenewald shares his love of boxing with Peekay. After seeing him win a boxing match, Peekay is mesmerised with the sport and vows to become the welterweight champion of the world.

Over the course of his childhood, Peekay builds confidence in his boxing. He also learns that racism is the primary force of evil and builds compassion and empathy for the mistreated blacks and coloureds of apartheid South Africa.
