In this work, we analyzed Ferdinand Oyono's two novels: Une vie de boy and Le vieux negre et la medaille, published in 1956. These two novels can be described as paintings of colonial society. Through these two texts, the author shows us the actions of Whites or Europeans in Africa, as well as the complexes and injustices created in a dominated society. The characters in both novels represent the social actors living under colonial domination.
