Celebrating Bosman: A Centenary Selection of Herman Charles Bosman's - Softcover
Herman Charles Bosman, was one of South Africa's best-loved and most popular writers. Bosman's stories have become well-loved. This collection contains many favourite stories of the wars and loves, prejudices and insights of a backveld Afrikaner community. It will appeal, both for the enjoyment of loyal readers as well as for a young generation not yet acquainted with his genius. In 1926 Herman Charles Bosman was appointed to a teaching position in the Groot Marico district of the then Western Transvaal. The place and the people enthralled him, and provided him with the background for his best-known works. 'There is no other place I know that is so heavy with atmosphere, so strangely and darkly impregnated with that stuff of life that bears the authentic stamp of South Africa,' he wrote in "Marico Revisited".

Review:
"And once more I arrived back in that part of the country to which the Transvaal Education Department in its wisdom had sent me years before. There is no other place I know that is so heavy with atmosphere, so strangely and darkly impregnated with that stuff of life that bears the authentic stamp of South Africa."
