In 1935 Alan Paton and his wife Dorrie arrived at the doors of the Diepkloof Reformatory for black boys outside Johannes-burg where Paton was to take up the position of principal. Until then Diepkloof had operated within a system of fear and deprivation and the new principal's methods of rehab-ilitation were revolutionary for the time. The challenge produced both triumphs and bitter dis-appointments, not only profession-ally but in his personal life as well, when an affair with a woman ten years his junior threatened to break up his marriage. His thirteen years at Diepkloof were a seminal period in Paton's life. The experience led to his writing the great South African novel Cry, the Beloved Country.
