Engele in die Vreemde, Chris Schoeman, 2013, (Hard Cover, Out of Print, NEW) Engele in die Vreemde Na die uitbreek van die Anglo-Boereoorlog het honderde vroue hul moederlande verlaat en na Suid-Afrika gekom, sommige op soek na avontuur, ander met ’n egte begeerte om die slagoffers van die oorlog te help. Hulle het van reg oor die wêreld gekom – van Brittanje en sy kolonies, en van pro-Boerlande in Europa. Maar wat ook al hul oorsprong, het hulle almal hierheen gekom om in onaangename en vreemde toestande te leef en te werk.Engele in die vreemde vertel die verhale van twaalf van hierdie dapper vroue, afkomstig van Engeland, die Nederlande, België, Swede, Kanada, Australië en Nieu-Seeland. Sommige het as verpleegsters aan die front gewerk, terwyl ander Boerekinders in die konsentrasiekampe onderrig het. Hierdie fassinerende en inspirerende boek is gebaseer op persoonlike dagboeke en briewe, sowel as ander oorlogsbronne, en vertel van hul beproewinge en rampspoed terwyl hulle te kampe gehad het met die gevare van oorlog, die uiterstes van die omgewing en die treurige oë van sterwende mans in hul sorg. Hul verhale is dié van barmhartigheid en moed. -     Also available in English from KAROOBOEKE/KAROOBOOKS     Author: Chris Schoeman » Title: Engele in die Vreemde » ISBN: 9781770225022 » Format: Hardcover with dustjacket » Release Date: April 2013 » Imprint: Zebra Press » Pages: 264

  The Unknown Van Gogh, by Schoeman, Chris (OUT OF PRINT NEW)   ISBN: 9781770227910 ISBN  9781770227910 Format  Trade Paperback Recommended Price  R230.00 Published  June 2015 About the book:  Much has been written about Vincent van Gogh and his tempestuous relationship with his brother Theo. But few people know that there was a third Van Gogh brother, Cornelis, who was raised in the Netherlands, but worked, married and died in South Africa.   The son of a Protestant minister, Cor spent his youth in a series of small Dutch towns, with idyllic holidays walking in the countryside with his artist brother, before troubles and tragedies beset the Van Gogh family. In 1889, the twenty-two-year-old Cor sailed to South Africa, where he worked as an engineer on the gold mines and on the railways. In the Anglo-Boer War he joined the Boers, first as a railway engineer and later on commando in the Free State, where in 1900 he suffered a fate that echoed his famous brother’s tragic end.   The Unknown Van Gogh  recreates South Africa in the tumultuous last decade of the nineteenth century; reconstructs the personal story of a young immigrant from letters and other archival documents; and explores his relationship with his famous brother Vincent. With new  insights based on original research, this book uncovers a figure who has been forgotten by history.

 The Somme Chronicles - South Africans on the Western Front - Chris Schoeman - 2014 - Zebra - Paperback in good, clean and tight condition. This is the story of South African soldiers during the 1916 Somme offensive, which took place between the Allied forces and the Germans along the Somme River in France and was one of the bloodiest conflicts of the First World War, resulting in over a million deaths in six months. In July 1916, the men of the 1st South African Infantry Brigade were involved in recapturing the village of Lingueval and clearing Delville Wood of enemy soldiers, but they suffered extreme casualties. After six days of fighting, of the Brigade's 3433 soldiers, only 750 were left standing. The rest were dead or wounded. This book tells the stories of the men of the Brigade via their letters, diaries, and interviews that the author conducted with survivors many years ago. Not much has been written about South Africans during World War I. Surprisingly, it is a relatively untapped period of military history. This fascinating new book covers the iconic battle of Delville Wood, the most famous event involving South Africans during the war.

This item is sold brand new. It is ordered on demand from our supplier and is usually dispatched within 4 - 8 working days Situated between the Hottentots Holland Mountains and the Breede River, the Overberg is an important agricultural region and a popular holiday destination for tourists and nature lovers who delight in the beauty of its mountainous landscape, abundant plant species and long sandy beaches. But this area also has a rich history going back thousands of years, when the indigenous Khoi people originally thrived there, before the first European settlers arrived to leave their own indelible imprint on the culture, architecture and character of the region. This book provides a detailed account of this past by pointing out the many places, buildings, events and personalities that have made the Overberg the diverse and unique place that it is today. The Overberg has been a home or point of interest for explorers, innovators, artists and writers, for figures as varied as Bartholomew Diaz, Olof Bergh, Hendrik Verwoerd, Gregoire Boonzaier, Audrey Blignault and Breyten Breytenbach. Some of South Africa's oldest towns, houses and missionary stations can be found here, and its treacherous coastline has been the cause of hundreds of shipwrecks for centuries. Enlivened by historical and current photographs and informative side panels, this book is a collector's item.
