Mister Johnson (1939) is a novel by Joyce Cary. It is the story of a young Nigerian who falls afoul of the British colonial authorities. Although the novel has a comic tone, the story itself is tragic. Joyce Cary has been quoted as saying that Mister Johnson was his favorite book that he had written. Mister Johnson is often read in schools and has had a wide audience. It has been as a play by Norman Rosten and a 1990 film by Bruce Beresford. Chinua Achebe has said that Mister Johnson struck him as superficial and helped form his determination to write his own novels about Nigeria. Other critics have found Cary's portrayal of his main character patronizing and Johnson himself childish.

  • Mister Johnson ist ein Roman von Joyce Cary aus dem Jahr 1939. Der Roman beinhaltet viele persönliche Erfahrungen aus der Zeit, als Joyce Cary in Afrika war. Der Autor entwarf eine konzentrierte und geradlinige Geschichte. Diese Geschichte behandelt exemplarisch das konfliktreiche Aufeinandertreffen von europäischem zivilisatorischen Hegemonialstreben und ritualisierter afrikanischer Stammeskultur. (de)
