Promised Land ~ Karel Schoeman
Medium soft cover
Excellent condition
For George, this trip to South Africa was the promise of a return to the land of his Afrikaner ancestors. But in the vastness of the veld, it's not just memories that come flooding back. Between fear, silence and the ruin of the "before" world, the return of the prodigal son quickly turns into suffocation. For these peasant families abandoned by history, George represents everything at once. The foreigner and the child of the country. The past and the future. A role that will soon prove to be too heavy to bear.
Written in 1972, in the midst of the segregationist fury, this allegorical novel flushes out the ghosts of apartheid with a measured, chanted, haunting prose: an office of darkness in landscapes ransacked at curfew time. "
