Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. Here is "Footprints : An Anthology of Modern South African Prose Authors", Including: Alan Paton, Olive Schreiner, Laurens van der Post, Nadine Gordimer, et al. This hardcover book was issued in South Africa by APB Publishers and Booksellers in 1956 . Of note in this interesting anthology of South African prose is the inclusion without fanfare of a passage from the internationally heralded novel by Alan Paton, "Cry the Beloved Country", published in 1948. The date of "Footprints" publication,1956, was just three years after Paton founded the South African Liberal Party which was instrumental in opposing South Africa's horrible apartheid policies. The other selections in this book are equally illuminating, painting a word picture of what was, at that time, an extremely troubled land. Only some of the selection have political import; there are also essays celebrating the natural beauties and wildlife of South Africa, as well as the cultural richness that thrives there. Taken as a whole, the selections in this book paint a colorful, complex and fascinating picture of mid Twentieth- century South Africa.

DESCRIPTION - 'A milestone in the history of South African literature.' - Alan Paton. Introduction by Alan Paton. This extraordinary collection not only constitutes a brilliant showcase for four talented new South African writers but reveals the revolution taking place in Africa today. The sixteen stories, which blend together in a unity rare to most anthologies, surge with the excitement, the aspirations, the bitter anger that have made Africa such a dramatic continent as they describe: the frustrated attempts of a small boy to play in a park restricted to whites only, a trenchant modern Christmas parable of No Room at the Inn, the exultation felt by a young African marching to strike, the painful isolation of a white boss at a party for one of his native employees - in short, a superb dramatization of what life is like in South Africa, told by four who live it every day. inventory #6240 Previous Owner's Name Penned in Front, Otherwise Very Good in Slightly Worn Dustjacket With Some Pieces Missing.…
