The Collected Works of Herman Charles Bosman

Herman Charles Bosman

4.5/5 ( ratings)

In this volume are gathered together the life-works of South Africa's best-loved author, Herman Charles Bosman.

A writer of extraordinary depth and vision, and great humourist, Bosman combines a throwaway roughness with mischievousness, selective brilliance, and a tragic sense of human fallibility. His work communicates a unique, poignant flavour that has touched the hearts of all South Africans. Here are the sounds and smells of the platteland, the rough voices, the open skies.

Compelled by Edgar Allan Poe and inspired by the Western Transvaal, his wildness, subtlety, defiance and -playful dreaming caper through the pages, from the charm of 'A Bekkersdal Marathon' to the unexpectedness of the startling chronicle of his imprisonment that is 'Cold Stone Jug'.

In this unprecedented monument to his genius are assembled Mafeking Road, Unto Dust, A Cask Of Jerepigo and much more:
1'300 pages of pure South Africana.

Includes Volumes 1 & 2.

Pages: 1300

Format: Hardcover
