Doris Lessing won this year's Nobel Prize in literature. She grew up in Zimbabwe (when it was Rhodesia) and in her acceptance speech discussed people in Zimbabwe today literally begging for books and education. I can't pick a compelling paragraph to excerpt and entice you into reading, because they are all so incredibly good.
The Guardian reproduces the entire speech here.
