Adrift on the Open Veld
R495,00
Adrift on the Open Veld, edited and introduced by TS Emslie, captures definitively what Smuts called ‘the wonderful romance of South Africa.’
Reitz had the uncanny knack of living through the war as though leafing through the pages of an adventure story.
– Thomas Pakenham , author of ‘The Boer War’.
Not only is this equally true of the rest of Deneys Reitz’s amazingly eventful life, but -incredibly -he was also a gifted and compelling writer who bequeathed us a timeless heritage in three brilliant books: Commando, Trekking On and No Outspan. Established bestsellers in their own right, these works are now collected as a trilogy under a title taken from Deneys Reitz’s own description of his commando invading the Cape Colony during the Anglo-Boer War.
