Previous owner's name and date (1984) inside - Book seems to have had a touch of water as the bottom corner of the first two preliminary pages show - Not affecting any text - The English translation by Ninon Roets published by Hutchinson in 1983. >>> Thousands of Afrikaners, despite their puritanical Calvinist religion, chuckled with delight at the sexual antics of a television crew and its groupies, including two British aristocrats, Lord Seldom and Lord Sudden, and two South African beauty queens, Miss Transvaal and Miss Orange Free State, in the Afrikaans novel of Etienne Leroux, "Magersfontein, O Magersfontein." (The Washington Post) >>> It's an excellent satire, full of sharp, angry sarcasm and some very funny half-page portraits of people: a narcissistic Greek author, a prudish traffic policeman, a poor Boer man and about twenty others, all very well drawn. Leroux doesn't waste a single line: he's savage and accurate - A wonderfully good writer.
