Leaven: A Black and White Story - Softcover
The sweeping action of ""Leaven"" plays out before the turn of the century in three main areas, none of which had been the subject of fiction before: the Loteni district in the Drakensberg, Pietermaritzburg the colonial capital with its rough justice, and then the gold-mines on the Reef. Two main characters thread through the sprawling cast: Bulalie, the country lad who heads for town in search of his fortune, and David Hyslop, the radical missionary unable to save even his own soul. Their stories intersect at crucial turns, leading to the inevitable tragic and bloody climax. ""Leaven's"" subtitle - ""A Black And White Story"" - shows that it examines race relations in a way that had never been undertaken before in fiction, and which is startlingly recognisable today.

Book Description Softcover. Condition: New. Excerpt from Leaven a Black and White StoryEulalie lay in a comfortable hollow, just big enough to fit his tall and shapely form, supporting his chin in both hands and watching the long wide valley below him.He had been there since noon, and now the sun had nearly touched the blue hills many miles away, where he had seen it disappear every night that his memory could compass, perhaps fifteen years, when it had fallen into the great krantz where the hole was through which it rolled back under the rocks and the river to come up again behind the grey mountains in the morning.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
