商品簡介
Eminent South African novelist and historian Schoeman wrote most of the 17 essays here for the Quarterly Bulletin of what is now the National Library of South Africa, Cape Town, with the intention of collecting them in a book someday. They focus on the early missionaries to South Africa from the London Missionary Society, providing a kaleidoscopic rather than comprehensive view of the period before the mission was formalized into institutions. Five of the essays are in Afrikaans, his language of choice for writing novels. Now available for the first time in the US, distributed by International Publishers Marketing.
