Buys, n grensroman
Willem Anker
ISBN: 9780795706936
This is a historical novel about Coenraad de Buys, a rebellious, larger-than-life figure who lived on the colonial frontier of southern Africa in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The book follows Buys as he moves across physical, social, and moral borders - between colonial settlers and indigenous communities, law and lawlessness, belonging and exile. Through his violent, charismatic, and deeply flawed life, the novel explores themes of power, identity, colonialism, freedom, and the meaning of borders. In short, it is a raw, epic portrayal of a man who refuses to be contained by society or history, and a critique of the frontier world that shaped South Africa.
