Adriaan Donker (5 December 1933 – 17 July 2002) was a pioneering South African publisher. ==Biography== Born in Bilthoven, the Netherlands, he learned book publishing from his father (Ad. Donker, Rotterdam)〔(website of Uitgeversmaatschappij Ad. Donker. )〕 and Collier Macmillan in London and New York. He emigrated as sales representative to South Africa in 1966. Under Apartheid many of Donker’s publications were considered "subversive". Despite pressure from government officials, surveillance by the security police, including threats of loss of passport and illegal house searches, Donker adamantly continued publishing social critical works. He was founder and director of the Centre of Creative Arts in Durban, initiating the international Poetry Festival and The Time of the Writer. He was awarded an honorary doctorate for his contribution to South African literature. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ad Donker」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
