Born in 1907, Jack Simons was one of the leading left-wing intellectuals - and one of the greatest teachers - in 20th century South Africa.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Jack Simons was much more than a romantic revolutionary and public intellectual. He was interested in art, literature and religion. He was a walker and a lover of nature and the great outdoors. He was a good father, to many more than his own children, a gardener, and a cook. Above all, he was, as Nancy Gordon recalls, a 'warm mensch', who was totally committed to his vision of a non-racial, and ultimately socialist, South Africa\". - Hugh Macmillan","brand":"Jacana Media (Pty) Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48867041149271,"sku":"9781431423347","price":10.44,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/jack-simons-teacher-scholar-and-comrade-a-jacana-pocket-biography-9781431423347","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
