Omschrijving

Jasper Lyle: A Tale of Kafirland is a novel written by Harriet Ward and originally published in 1851. The book tells the story of Jasper Lyle, a young Englishman who travels to South Africa in search of adventure and fortune. Along the way, he becomes embroiled in the conflict between the British colonizers and the indigenous Khoikhoi and Xhosa peoples.As Jasper navigates the complex cultural and political landscape of Kafirland, he must confront his own prejudices and assumptions about race and identity. He also falls in love with a Khoikhoi woman named Zita, which complicates his already precarious position in the region.The novel is notable for its sympathetic portrayal of the Khoikhoi and Xhosa people, who are often depicted as ""savages"" in other colonial literature of the time. Ward's nuanced and compassionate approach to these characters challenges the prevailing attitudes of her era and offers a more complex understanding of colonialism and its effects on both colonizers and colonized peoples.Overall, Jasper Lyle: A Tale of Kafirland is a compelling and thought-provoking novel that explores themes of race, identity, and power in the context of colonialism.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
