(Cape Town: Nasionale Pers, 1940), first edition. 228 x 153 mm; printed wrappers; pp. (viii) + 88. Wrappers partially sunned; pages pleasantly yellowed, corners bumped. Good+ condition, actually surprisingly good for its age. Afrikaans text. (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.

With themes of loyalty, memory, and a Jewish nostalgia for a "lost home," this tenderly told story unravels with humor and sadness the lives and journeys of a family with individuals that seek to branch out and continue to feed on the nourishment of family roots. Withstanding a series of separations and chance reunions, this weathered but strong family creates a tree marked with the growth rings of time patterns of love and joy and fear and fragility that keep families together.

The book is old, and the pages may be browned. There are creases on the spine and corners, and worn around the edges. The book is still very readable, but has seen some wear. Wilbur Smith sets his vividly realistic novels on the razor's edge between human courage and nature's wrath. In Hungry As The Sea, this master storyteller takes us to the frigid South Atlantic, where one man fights for his life-- and for redemption. Nicholas Berg is steaming out of Cape Town aboard the salvage tug Warlock. Once Berg ruled an ocean-going empire. Now, his future has come down to a powerful boat and a daring rescue mission. One of his former ships is being lashed against the cliffs of Cape Alarm, surrounded by deadly icebergs and survivors clinging to their boats. Berg has gambled everything on reaching the Golden Adventurer before a competitor and a violent storm-- to win a fortune in salvage fees. But if Nick Berg succeeds, and climbs back into the international shipping game, that's when the real danger will begin... From the power of a relentless ocean to the hunger of men to survive upon her, this is a towering novel of adventure, love and the daring of the human soul.
