Very Good in Dustjacket. 0316108847. 375 pages. hardcover. Jacket design by Marc Cohen. keywords: Africa South Africa Literature Afrikaans Translated World Literature. DESCRIPTION - In Andre Brink's provocative new novel, Estienne Barbier - cunning liar, lecherous seducer of women, unlikely epic hero yet likeable rogue - guides us through an eye-opening adventure in eighteenth-century South Africa. Fleeing the wrath of scorned husbands in Europe, Barbier connives his way into an expedition to the Cape of Good Hope. As a scribe for the East India Company, he dutifully chronicles the wonders of Africa's exotic landscape, whose majesty inspires in him the desire to discover a fabled city of gold. But along the way Barbier begins to see clearly the corrupt dealings of his employer, a discovery that earns him powerful enemies. To his own surprise, he makes his escape to mount a colonial rebellion, spurring on ruffian farmers and hiding out on remote farms where he rollicks with grieving widows. In the face of injustice, Barbier remarkably finds within him the capacity to rebel against authority and, in a fantastical pilgrimage to the desert, to ask forgiveness of the people who have borne the brunt of colonial misrule. inventory #22571.…
