The Path of Thunder

New Africa Books

The Trap and A Dance in the Sun bring together Jacobson's initial two novels – stories of racial confrontation and social injustice on the South African veld. In The Trap, relations between the white farmers and their black workers are brought on to a sinister and harrowing conclusion whilst A Dance in the Sun sees two young innocent bystanders becoming embroiled in a long-standing family saga. These stories have retained their freshness and their power to move the reader.

The Little Karoo

First published in 1925, Pauline Smith's beautiful collection of stories set in the South Africa of her childhood is a lyrical and moving look at growing up in a remote landscape. Smith captures life in the heart of the Little Karoo, a mostly uninhabited terrain, where rain may not fall for years at a time. Poor, white early-Afrikaner settlers beset by hard times and an unforgiving landscape, the characters in her stories overcome tragedy time and time again, refusing to be broken.
