"È la storia di un ragazzo, Peekay, che si fa uomo facendo appello alle proprie risorse interiori. Che sperimenta durezze, persecuzioni, orrori. Che vede i suoi "fratelli di latte", i neri, vilipesi, tormentati, oppressi, e prova sulla sua pelle l'ostilità dei boeri. E cresce, imparando a fare del pugilato, deciso a diventare campione del mondo dei pesi welter, persuaso che "il piccolo può vincere il grande" se sa sfruttare "la forza di chi è solo". Ha anche molta fortuna: conosce un uomo come Doc, un musicista tedesco, geniale e innocuo, innamorato dell'Africa e della sua flora, che le autorità coloniali inglesi chiudono in carcere, dove Peekay lo visita e ha modo di frequentare i "delinquenti" neri. Doc, internato come "nemico" per il periodo bellico, insegna a Peekay che cosa significa arte. E soprattutto che l'arte, il ritmo, la bellezza - e dunque anche l'arte di danzare su un ring "come se suonassi Mozart" - sono invincibili al di là di ogni umana degradazione.
