Beschreibung
Set in the stark, beautiful landscape of the Karoo, The Story of an African Farm is Olive Schreiner's landmark novel and a cornerstone of South African literature. First published in 1883 under the pseudonym Ralph Iron, it startled Victorian readers with its bold questioning of religion, gender roles and the social structures of colonial society. At its heart are the intertwined lives of Lyndall and Waldo - kindred spirits bound by a shared longing for meaning, freedom and self-realisation. Through their journeys, Schreiner explores the tensions between duty and desire, belief and doubt, and the constraints placed on those who dare to imagine a different life. Both deeply personal and quietly radical, this pioneering novel remains as thought-provoking today as it was on first publication. It is a powerful meditation on identity, independence and the search for a more authentic way of being.
