The public expected it to be over by Christmas. It proved to be the longest (two and three-quarter years), the costliest (over 200 million pounds), the bloodiest (at least 22,000 British, 25,000 Boer and 12,000 African lives) and the most humiliating war that Britain fought between 1815 and 1914.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThomas Pakenham has written the first full-scale documentary history of the war to be attempted since 1910. His narrative is based on first-hand and largely unpublished sources. He has combed the original British documents in the Public Record Office and the material in South African archives. He has traced the private papers of most of the protagonists. He found the letters of Sir Redvers Buller — the British Commander-in-Chief in 1899 — letters which had remained hidden under the billiard table at Buller’s house in Devon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe has unearthed new material from the trunk-loads of Lord Roberts’s papers, discovered a massive secret journal of the war compiled by the War Office Intelligence Department, and found the private letters from the War Minister, Lord Lansdowne and other members of the Cabinet.

Finally, he has tape-recorded the memories of over fifty survivors from both sides.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOut of this gold-mine, Thomas Pakenham has constructed a narrative as vivid and fast-moving as a novel. In numerous ways he challenges the accepted view of historians. He exposes the crucial role of two of the 'gold bugs' - the richest of the Rand millionaires - in precipitating the war. He throws new light on the blunders of British generals, Sir Redvers Buller and Lord Roberts, revealing a personal feud between the men comparable to the one between Lords Lucan and Cardigan that led to the charge of the Light Brigade. He writes movingly about the plight of 100,000 black Africans who served both armies. And he explains the final political victory of the Boers - how they lost the war but won the peace - with far-reaching consequences for Europe and South Africa. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn scope, scholarship, breadth and impact, this is a work that will not be superseded for many years.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Story Station","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46887243350255,"sku":"THE04047","price":174.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0650\/6538\/6223\/files\/asdasdsa_19ec36c5-922e-4a57-99a6-cd9c03d5482e.jpg?v=1759050253"},{"product_id":"sir-harry-smith-bungling-hero-a-l-harington-first-edition","title":"Sir Harry Smith - bungling hero - A.L.

Venter se eerste roman het in 1946 verskyn: \u003cem data-start=\"208\" data-end=\"223\"\u003eEendense Môre\u003c\/em\u003e, waarin die stryd gebeeld word tussen twee Afrikaanse gesinne wat in verskillende politieke kampe staan. Hierna volg \u003cem data-start=\"341\" data-end=\"355\"\u003eDie Drosters\u003c\/em\u003e met sy beeldings van die vergeefsheid van menslike waardes, soms, en die bloedige vergeefsheid van oorlog. In 1955 volg \u003cem data-start=\"476\" data-end=\"491\"\u003eDie Tollenaar\u003c\/em\u003e, ’n werk oor teringlyers. In dié jare verskyn ook ’n bundel kortverhale \u003cem data-start=\"564\" data-end=\"579\"\u003eDie Gebondenes\u003c\/em\u003e en ’n jeugverhaal \u003cem data-start=\"598\" data-end=\"623\"\u003eDie Geheim van die Berg\u003c\/em\u003e. Dit is egter met \u003cem data-start=\"642\" data-end=\"657\"\u003eSwart Pelgrim\u003c\/em\u003e dat Venter werklik na vore tree as skrywer van formaat. In 1961 word die Hertzogprys dan ook aan hom toegeken. In 1957 verskyn die Bybelroman \u003cem data-start=\"800\" data-end=\"816\"\u003eMan van Ciréne\u003c\/em\u003e. Nou volg die grootste taak wat hierdie skrywer homself nog gestel het: ’n romanreeks oor die Groot Trek. In 1960 verskyn \u003cem data-start=\"939\" data-end=\"952\"\u003eGeknelde Land\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem data-start=\"954\" data-end=\"965\"\u003eOfferland\u003c\/em\u003e in 1963, \u003cem data-start=\"975\" data-end=\"987\"\u003eGelofteland\u003c\/em\u003e in 1967 en in 1968 word die reeks afgesluit met \u003cem data-start=\"1036\" data-end=\"1051\"\u003eBedoelde Land\u003c\/em\u003e. Tussen hierdie arbeid deur het Venter nog tyd gevind om twee ander werke te lewer. In sy navorsing vir die Trekromans het hy afgekom op die ware verhaal van die Switserse seun, Paulus van Gass, wat saam met die Trek gegaan het. Hieruit het die jeugverhaal \u003cem data-start=\"1309\" data-end=\"1322\"\u003eWit Oemfaan\u003c\/em\u003e ontstaan. Sy terugkeer na die plaaslewe in 1961 ná jare in die stad het hom ook weer met nuwe oë na die veld met sy diere en sy eie soort mense laat kyk – en daaroor skryf hy in \u003cem data-start=\"1502\" data-end=\"1516\"\u003eWerfjoernaal\u003c\/em\u003e. As nie-fiksie staan dit los van die res van Venter se oeuvre – en tog sluit dit daarby aan, want ook hierdie gemoedelike vertellinge word gekenmerk deur fyn waarneming, deernis en begrip wat ook die sterk stempel van sy jongste werk \u003cem data-start=\"1751\" data-end=\"1769\"\u003eDie Rentmeesters\u003c\/em\u003e is.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"86\" data-end=\"285\"\u003eOm die grond te sien verarm en sterf, die grond waaruit jy en jou pa en sý pa voor hom geleef het, wat hulle liefgehad het soos ’n mens ’n mens liefhet – dit is om eintlik self ook te ly en te sterf.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"287\" data-end=\"683\"\u003eDie ou man Ben Richter moes sien hoe Pioniersvlei krimp en kerm onder die harde slae van droogte ná droogte – en die liefdelose, onoordeelkundige hantering van sy seun Cas vir wie dit in die boerdery net gaan om geld maak. Die grond moet net gee en gee sodat hy en Heila kan leef soos hulle wil leef. Die ou man het sy seun gewaarsku: Die grond laat hom nie dwing nie. Jy moet na sy stem luister.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"685\" data-end=\"779\"\u003eMaar Cas wou nie luister nie – of kón hy werklik nie luister nie? – en hy moes ten onder gaan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"781\" data-end=\"1119\"\u003eNa ’n dekade waarin F. A. Venter hom en sy lesers ingelyf het in die geskiedenis van die Groot Trek, wend hy hom in sy jongste roman na die grond en die mense wat as rentmeesters oor daardie grond aangestel is, en bring hy die verhaal van die Richters van Pioniersvlei: die ou man, Cas en Heila, en die idealistiese, vurige jong Benjamin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1121\" data-end=\"1364\"\u003e\u003cem data-start=\"1121\" data-end=\"1139\"\u003eDie Rentmeesters\u003c\/em\u003e is ’n sterk roman, ’n aktuele roman. In meeslepende, beeldende prosa word die Afrikaanse landelike lewe uitgebeeld en word die natuur self eintlik die hoofkarakter wat die mens dwing tot verantwoording en tot ’n groot keuse.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Story Station","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47590008062191,"sku":"DIE04600","price":149.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0650\/6538\/6223\/files\/adasda_c159b2ac-090d-4a44-8224-720feb946070.jpg?v=1769891198"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.thestorystation.co.za\/collections\/rare-and-collectibles.oembed?page=3","provider":"The Story Station","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
