Willemsdorp deur Herman Charles Bosman

Willemsdorp - Herman Charles Bosman- Human & Rousseau - 1984 - Hardcover with dustcover in average condition - Internally clean and tightly bound.

Herman Charles Bosman's classic work about South African small-town intrigue, Willemsdorp. Set in the steamy Northern Transvaal – just prior to the 1948 National Party election victory – this novel scathingly lifts the lid off those favourite dorp pastimes of infidelity, immorality, dagga-smoking, brandy-drinking, blackmail … and the inevitable murder.

 With his usual genial humour, added to an unholy kind of satirical wisdom, Bosman completed this work shortly before his death, leaving us in "Charlie Hendricks" an ironic and unforgettable portrait of himself as the hack-writer who charted the South African way of life like no one before him.
