Talent in bucket loads" - Nike Azoros, Author. "Reminiscent of Joy Packer and early Wilbur Smith" - J. Cooke. South Africa, 1994. A triumphant Nelson Mandela is voted in as the first black President of the New South Africa. But the nation is in a state of turmoil. Competing cultural factions clash. Violence simmers. A nation of people, for decades divided against each other by apartheid's harsh racist laws, looks to the future with fear and uncertainty. Against this tense background we find Amy Barnes, a young woman born into a privileged social class and a passionate wildlife filmmaker. But she's looking for love in the wrong places. She follows a mysterious Sign and discovers love with Daniel Cloud, a young man of a different race, culture and social standing to her own. For Amy is white; Daniel is Coloured. But Amy's conservative family refuses to accept her choice. She soon finds herself cast out from the social circles she once knew, shattering her world. The young couple marry and have a child, a beautiful little boy destined to become a tragic catalyst in the drama unfolding between the two families. Pressures mount as Amy and Daniel find themselves caught between two worlds in the rapidly changing social structure of post-apartheid South Africa. Can Amy find a way to reconcile her old life with her new one, her uncertain future with a broken past that just won't let her go? From the black-maned lions of the arid, beautiful Kalahari, to political riots near the world's richest gold mines in Africa's City of Gold ... From lessons in blood on an African farm, to new beginnings in the hopeful yet troubled Rainbow Nation ... In a journey which will test Amy to the very limits of her faith and strength, this is a sweeping, timeless, uplifting story of love. The price it requires. The miracle it offers.

Book excerpt: "The Empire Makers" is a novel by James Nisbet, popular for his romance, colonial adventure, and crime.

Being inspired by the work of Cecil Rhodes, the Prime Minister of the Cape Colony who colonized the southern African territory of Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe and Zambia), Nisbet wrote this novel. It describes the adventures of three young men who went out to South Africa. The protagonists have different adventures, including troubles with the government, discovering ancient nations, and getting into a local war.

Haggard was initially sent to Garsington Rectory in Oxfordshire to study under Reverend H. J. Graham, but unlike his elder brothers who graduated from various private schools, he attended Ipswich Grammar School.This was because, his father, who perhaps regarded him as somebody who was not going to amount to much, could no longer afford to maintain his expensive private education.

Download or read book The Short Story in South Africa written by Rebecca Fasselt and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2022-03-25 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book considers the key critical interventions on short story writing in South Africa written in English since the year 2000. The short story genre, whilst often marginalised in national literary canons, has been central to the trajectory of literary history in South Africa. In recent years, the short story has undergone a significant renaissance, with new collections and young writers making a significant impact on the contemporary literary scene, and subgenres such as speculative fiction, erotic fiction, flash fiction and queer fiction expanding rapidly in popularity. This book examines the role of the short story genre in reflecting or championing new developments in South African writing and the ways in which traditional boundaries and definitions of the short story in South Africa have been reimagined in the present. Drawing together a range of critical interventions, including scholarly articles, interviews and personal reflective pieces, the volume traces some of the aesthetic and thematic continuities and discontinuities in the genre and sheds new light on questions of literary form. Finally, the book considers the place of the short story in twenty-first century writing and interrogates the ways in which the short story form may contribute to, or recast ideas of, the post-apartheid or post-transitional. The perfect guide to contemporary short story writing in South Africa, this book will be essential reading for researchers of African literature.

Download or read book Love in Africa written by Jennifer Cole and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2009-08-01 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, scholarly interest in love has flourished. Historians have addressed the rise of romantic love and marriage in Europe and the United States, while anthropologists have explored the ways globalization has reshaped local ideas about those same topics. Yet, love in Africa has been peculiarly ignored, resulting in a serious lack of understanding about this vital element of social life—a glaring omission given the intense focus on sexuality in Africa in the wake of HIV/AIDS. Love in Africa seeks both to understand this failure to consider love and to begin to correct it. In a substantive introduction and eight essays that examine a variety of countries and range in time from the 1930s to the present, the contributors collectively argue for the importance of paying attention to the many different cultural and historical strands that constitute love in Africa. Covering such diverse topics as the reception of Bollywood movies in 1950s Zanzibar, the effects of a Mexican telenovela on young people’s ideas about courtship in Niger, the models of romance promoted by South African and Kenyan magazines, and the complex relationship between love and money in Madagascar and South Africa, Love in Africa is a vivid and compelling look at love’s role in African society.
