Dustwrapper sunned on spine panel, with merest trace of edge-wear and a few fox spots to reverse; earlier owner's name signed on front free endpaper. Very good condition. Afrikaans text. "Deur haar briewe kom M.E.R. as beminde en inspirerende vriendin en mentor na vore; as groot, nederige mens, afkeurig van publisiteit, partypolitiek, kultuurkweek en kaalmodes; iemand van suiwer stoffasie, vir wie die vreugde nie in die erkenning gelê het nie maar in die werk self. 'Heeltemal weg sal ek nie,' het sy oor haar naderende dood geskryf. En só is dit gewis. Want, soos sy self 'n keer gesê het: ' 'n groot hart maak 'n groot plek vol'. 'n Kosbare erfenis is 'n nalatenskap van onskatbare waarde." .

He regards the raising of cattle as a sacred trust and is unsuited by habit and conviction to the acceptance of 'modern ways'. ... The two collaborators have succeeded in their attempt and in doing so have added further and invaluable details to our knowledge of these remarkable people." .

"During that long, hot summer of 1964, Ivan Smith, a mercenary volunteer in the Armée Nationale Congolais, came to witness and understand fear, the law of the jungle and the lust for killing that permeates Africa. A member of 'Mad Mike' Hoare's 5 Commando Group, he and his companions were nominally soldiers but there was little in the way of campaigns, tactics or discipline. Of conventional warfare there was none. Loyalty to country or unit did not exist; the fear of death was the only commander. Many more mercenaries died from accidental discharge, in a drunken shoot-out or from a bullet in the back than were ever killed in action by Simba rebels. Half a century later, Ivan Smith re-lives the nightmare that was the Congo." .

"MADONELA charts Donald Strachan's remarkable career as a pioneer in the north-eastern Transkei and his direct involvement in most major events there during the second half of the nineteenth century - a phase of the South African past which still awaits close scrutiny by professional historians. Strachan, in his time as trader, farmer, Griqua and colonial magistrate, commander of black and white military forces, Cape parliamentarian and progenitor of an extensive family, dominated a complex community in which other strongly individualistic men co-operated, competed, failed or prospered." .

Illustrations by veteran cartoonist Fred Mouton further add to the delight, making the best stories that ever came out of South Africa even better." .

Dustwrapper somewhat soiled, sunned and a little edgeworn; boards a bit bowed; endpapers foxed; upper hinge just starting between half-title and title page. Fair condition. "The Magnolia Tree is based upon the impression made on the poet's mind by the Japanese films Roshomon and The Gates of Hell and by a strange ill-written Japanese short story, called Kesa and Morito, about a soldier who plans to kill a man he does not hate for the sake of a woman he does not love. Out of these rather unpromising ingredients Mr. Manson has produced a play of remarkable poetic and dramatic quality and power.
Altogether, a rare play that will greatly augment the reputation that Mr. Manson is building up both in South Africa and overseas." .

Normaalweg sou hy geen ag op haar geslaan het nie, maar sy het by haar 'n masker wat sy oervrees akuut in sy keel laat klop. Die masker lyk na Ritter, sy eertydse boesemvriend van wie hy nege jaar gelede gevlug het nadat hulle saam by 'n misdaad, bes moontlik 'n moord, betrokke was. Hy het met Ritter se vrou, An, gevlug en iewers in 'n godverlate deel van Mosambiek 'n veldwagter geword. Maar Ritter - en die vrees - het hom nooit verlaat nie. En nou lê een van sy helpers in 'n voetpad met 'n koeëlwond aan die kop, en op sy werf is vreemde voetspore." .

Served on commando in the Anglo-Boer War, taken prisoner in 1901 and sent to India. Entered politics after his return, became a senator on the establishment of Union in 1910.
