Sobre este item
New York, NY, USA.: Armed Services Edition., 1944. Book. Very Good to Fine. Soft cover. First Paperback Ed. & 1st Printing!.. 442 pages. Date is stated as 1937, but actually issued circa 1944; With map and a glossary of South African words. "A novel of violence and passion of Kaffir-killing, child-bearing, Bible-searching and irrepressible young love; the story of the Great Trek of 1836 to the Transvaal undertaken by scattered bands of fiery, lusty, stubborn Boer farmers, incensed by the acts of the English in the Cape Colony which the Boers had founded. Characters that live: Hendrik van der Berg, leading his people to the Promised Land like a bearded prophet of the Scriptures; Sannie van Reenen, around whose seductive beauty the story turns; Zwart Piete du Plessis, who talks theh language of animals and witch-doctors; his sister Sara, who scouts and hunts with him in the African hinterland; and, towering above all, Tante Anna de Jong, matchmaker, philosopher, and wit, a veritable demale Falstaff. Unforgettable scenes: Scene after dramatic scene stands out unforgettably: the Kaffir ambuscade, the bush fire, the ZULU was dance; days of back-breaking toil, nights of amorous languor; the scaling of the final mountain range and the first sight of the rich, fair land below."; SCARCE in this edition & especially in nice condition, as with this example. Size: 32mo - over 4" - 5" tall.
