PDF DOWNLOAD Online PDF Mafeking Road: and Other Stories Read Online Details Details Product: These slyly simple stories of the unforgiving South African Transvaal reveal a little-described (and rarely romanticized) world of Afrikaner life in the late 19th Century. Like our own Mark Twain, Herman Charles Bosman wields a laughing intolerance of foolishness and prejudice, a dazzling use of wit and clear- sighted judgment. Spun by the plainclothes local visionary and storyteller Oom Shalk Lourens, these moving and satirical glimpses of lethargic herdsmen, ambitious concertina players, legendary leopards and mambas, and love-struck dreamers lay bare immense emotions, contradictions, and mysteries within the smallest movements and unadorned talk of the Groot Marico District. Leading oral tradition by the hand into a territory all his own, Bosman maps a world at once lucid and layered, distant yet powerfully familiar.

These slyly simple stories of the unforgiving South African Transvaal reveal a littledescribed
(and rarely romanticized) world of Afrikaner life in the late 19th Century.
Like our own Mark Twain, Herman Charles Bosman wields a laughing intolerance of
foolishness and prejudice, a dazzling use of wit and clear- sighted judgment. Spun by
the plainclothes local visionary and storyteller Oom Shalk Lourens, these moving and
satirical glimpses of lethargic herdsmen, ambitious concertina players, legendary
leopards and mambas, and love-struck dreamers lay bare immense emotions,
contradictions, and mysteries within the smallest movements and unadorned talk of
the Groot Marico District. Leading oral tradition by the hand into a territory all his
own, Bosman maps a world at once lucid and layered, distant yet powerfully familiar.
