Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. Here is "Footprints : An Anthology of Modern South African Prose Authors", Including: Alan Paton, Olive Schreiner, Laurens van der Post, Nadine Gordimer, et al. This hardcover book was issued in South Africa by APB Publishers and Booksellers in 1956 . Of note in this interesting anthology of South African prose is the inclusion without fanfare of a passage from the internationally heralded novel by Alan Paton, "Cry the Beloved Country", published in 1948. The date of "Footprints" publication,1956, was just three years after Paton founded the South African Liberal Party which was instrumental in opposing South Africa's horrible apartheid policies. The other selections in this book are equally illuminating, painting a word picture of what was, at that time, an extremely troubled land. Only some of the selection have political import; there are also essays celebrating the natural beauties and wildlife of South Africa, as well as the cultural richness that thrives there. Taken as a whole, the selections in this book paint a colorful, complex and fascinating picture of mid Twentieth- century South Africa.

It's a paperback format publication from immediately post-war England in 1946, when paper shortages and restrictions still held sway (1946).

hardcover. 8vo 306pp. from front flap: "Love and romance are different, we are told. Romance is kin to infatuation while true love--it sounds almost like a brand name--is related somehow to the First National Bank, an arrangement of security rather than affection. Love, according to this theory, is an agreement between all the members of a family at least one of whom, the mother-in-law, is never quite satisfied with the contract. The participants in this sort of match range far and wide in the community and instead of its being a covenant between two peopl, a love affair, it becomes a topic for national discussion, a political subject. "The greatness of our nations is based on. . ." includes stories by Kurt Vonnegut Jr., Sinclair Lewis, John Cheever, John O'Hara, more. scarce with dust jacket. #01233. very good+: mild shelf wear, toning around edges of text block. text clean, binding tight. very good: age toning, mild corner wear, NOT clipped ($5.95).…
