Mafeking Road - Hardcover
Mafeking Road is the first published collection of Herman Charles Bosman's Oom Schalk Lourens stories. Set in the Groot Marico, South Africa, the stories are told through the eyes of Oom Schalk. The stories are wonderfully crafted, funny, tragic, with many twists and turns. Each one is an adventure. Oom Schalk is at times the wise old man of the Bosveld, the village idiot, a racist, a thoughtful voice on race relations, a bumbling romantic and a skilled match-maker. Oom Schalk gave Bosman the ability to craft stories that we love but where we can't escape the truth of South Africa's past. The gems include: In the Withaak's Shade, Mafeking Road, Makapan's Caves, The Rooinek. These stories have become true South African classics and we don't doubt that you will fall in love with every one of them.
