Hard Cover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. Second ed Thus. JOCK VAN DIE BOSVELD is een van die weinige Suid-Afrikaanse boeke wat as werklik klassiek bestempel kan word. Dit is die verhaal van Sir Percy Fitzpatrick se ondervindinge as jong prospekteerder en transportryer in die Oostelike Transvaalse Laeveld van die tagtigerjare. Die hoof persoon is egter nie die skrywer self nie, maar wel sy getroue hond, Jock, met wie hy sy spannende jag-.en ander avonture belewe. Die meeste van die gebeurtenisse het die skrywer oorspronklik aan sy kinders vertel - hulle het egter alleen geluister "as dit waar was". Dit is juis vanweë hierdie egtheid en die lewendige styl dat Jock van die Bosveld vandag nog deur oud en jonk in Suid-Afrika as een van hul geliefkoosde boeke beskou word.

Alan Paton (1903-1988) was an anti apartheid activist and author, who achieved international fame with his novel Cry, the Beloved Country. Size: 240x160mm
For millions of readers worldwide, Alan Paton's books have described life in contemporary South Africa. Ah, But Your Land Is Beautiful revolves around the everyday experiences of a group of men and women whose lives reflect the human costs of maintaining a racially divided society. Writing at the peak of his powers, Paton delivers again a masterpiece.
The Dutch Reformed minister DF Malan led the Afrikaners to victory in 1948 and instituted the policy of apartheid. Today grim-faced photographs of NP leaders like Malan and his successors have come to symbolise a system of racial oppression, which dehumanised and impoverished the majority of South Africa’s population.Yet, when Malan was asked on his deathbed about the most important service he had rendered during his political career, he answered, ‘that I could serve my nation; that I could unite my people’. This biography tries to understand this dichotomy: how a man who earnestly sought to unite and to protect a people could also contribute to a legacy that continues to scar a country.The book introduces the reader to Malan the man: the shy, bookish young boy, the distracted intellectual who once left home with his slippers on, the uncertain lover and the thinker who spent hours preparing his speeches, first for church sermons and then for parliamentary debates.The rise in Afrikaner nationalism in the years after the Anglo-Boer War offers the backdrop to Malan’s personal and political life. This growing movement spurs him on to leave the church to become editor of Die Burger and provincial leader of the National Party. This book therefore also offers a gripping behind-the-scenes account of Afrikaner nationalist politics.
