"Though not officially named Herrengracht until the middle of the eighteenth century, the link between Van Riebeeck's old fortress and vegetable gardens was from the very beginning of the Cape settlement the " walk" taken by the gentlemen of the Dutch East India Company for the pursuit  of their commercial and social activities. Round this GENLTLEMAN'S WALK the town was built-initially reluctantly, afterwards with a purpose.The gist of the story has been told when in 1850  Heerengracht became Adderley Street and as such was not a gentleman's walk any longer." Picard dresses the factual story of Cape Town's streets, lanes and squares in the colourful robe of South Africa's historical background.

(Nienaber 1, p. 246) An overview of the Second Frontier War of 1789-1793 on the borders of European settlement at the Cape of Good Hope. "In hoofsaak kan ek my met dr. Theal se beskrywing van die tweede Kafferoorlog verenig, maar nogtans het dit my wenslik voorgekom om die resultate van my ondersoek te publiseer. Dr. Theal wy maar net tien bladsye aan die materiaal wat ek in hierdie boekie behandel (History of South Africa, Vol. IV, pp. 281-291). 'n Uitvoeriger beskrywing aan die hand van die oorspronklike bronne was dus nodig. Buitendien sal die taak wat daar vir Afrikaanse historici wag, nie afgehandel wees voordat die hele geskiedenis van ons land in die taal van ons volk beskrywe is nie." - From the author's Foreword.

Paperback. English. Vintage. 2009. In used condtion. After years teaching Romantic poetry at the Technical University of Cape Town, David Lurie, middle-aged and twice divorced, has an impulsive affair with a student. The affair sours; he is denounced and summoned before a committee of inquiry. Willing to admit his guilt, but refusing to yield to pressure to repent publicly, he resigns and retreats to his daughter Lucy's isolated smallholding. For a time, his daughter's influence and the natural rhythms of the farm promise to harmonise his discordant life. But the balance of power in the country is shifting. He and Lucy become victims of a savage and disturbing attack which brings into relief all the faultlines in their relationship.
