Mafeking Road, by Herman Charles Bosman (used)

Mafeking Road was first published in 1947. It was immediately recognised as an important contribution to South African literature, and has been repeatedly reprinted to enjoy what is probably the greatest success earned by a purely literary book published only in South Africa

What William Plomer wrote of Unto Dust applies to all Bosman's short stories: "It is perhaps Bosman's chief feat in these stories to have presented local and remote involvements of passion, love, hate, fidelity, infidelity, history and death in such a way that they are made universally human and to have maintained while doing so his light and entertaining touch. What an uncommon gift!"
