Book First Edition
Soft cover. Condition: As New. Anniversary Edition. Back cover: Herman Charles Bosman's first book, the decadent novel of "dark strong life. thick with the tides of surging turgidity within the flesh. of blood throbbing in its purple intensities and the white flame of desire." Here is Bosman's cool analysis of maleness and sadism down Voortrekker Street in the South African dorps of old, in the days of General Smuts's collapsing Union. Here is the seamy underside of boardinghouse and school common room, exposed with masterly psychological sharpness, the erotic drives laid bare as they had never been so explicitly before. Bosman's tale of a triangular passion leading to brutal murder reads just as intriguingly today as when its hot Chapter Six, thought to be pornographic, shocked its first readers. This text of Jacaranda in the Night, complete and unabridged, is edit ed from the original printing, with an introduction placing it within the post-war Johannesburg literary school of hard realism which it served to shape. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 213 pages with Notes on the Text by Stephen Gray ------------------ Orders over $100.00 are shipped using tracked courier delivery services.

Book
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good, slight scuff Marks. Second Edition. Herman Charles Bosman has been widely recognised as one of South Africa's best short story writers and essayists. He was a man of very special gifts. He was a writer of supreme skill in narration and characterisation, he had an impressive command of language, and, above all, his work was illuminated by a play of humour that placed it entirely in a category of its own. Of this special gift of Bosman's his friend and pupil Lionel Abrahams later said: "His fancy used to play around things, giving them an extra dimension, for him giving them their reality. Anything his imagination could not get around did not exist for him. He accepted no abstractions at second hand. That is why sharing his conversation was always such a special experience. Everything said was personal, spontaneous and brand-new. Most of the time the room would be thunderous with laughter - a laughter which was only the happier and freer because you felt that the boun dary of human experience was being rolled back in some special way. The division between the sublime and the risible was gone." In this book on Bosman's life Valerie Rosenberg has succeeded admirably in drawing a picture of the man and the writer Bosman. . He is present in these pages in all his baffling complexity, with all his fears and his foibles, his endearing human traits and also with those dark reaches of the soul that at times threatened to topple his life into catastrophe, and before which he himself recoiled in horror. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------- 241 pages including black-and-white photographs ------------------ Orders over $100.00 are shipped using tracked courier delivery services.
