Mafeking-pad (Afrikaans, Paperback): Herman Charles Bosman Mafeking-pad (Afrikaans, Paperback)
Herman Charles Bosman; Illustrated by Fred Mouton
R172 Discovery Miles 1 720 Ships in 4 - 8 working days

Sestig jaar na Herman Charles Bosman se dood het die eerste Afrikaanse bundel Oom Schalk Lourens-stories verskyn (In die withaak se skadu, Suiderkruis Boeke, 2011). Dit is besonder goed ontvang, en het gunstige kommentaar ontlok van skrywers soos Andre P. Brink, P.G. du Plessis, Pieter Fourie en Paul C. Venter. Die jaar daarna het ’n Bekkersdalmarathon en ander Voorkamerstories (Suiderkruis Boeke, 2012) die lig gesien, wat sowat die helfte van Bosman se bekende stories oor Jurie Steyn se plaasposkantoor bevat. Dit was die eerste Bosman-bundel wat deur Fred Mouton geillustreer is. Die oorweldigend positiewe terugvoer oor die Bosman/Moutonkombinasie het dit voor die hand liggend gemaak dat Fred ook oom Schalk se stories onder hande moet neem. Mafeking-pad kombineer dus vir die eerste keer Bosman se gewildste verhale – wat van 1947 af nog nooit uit druk uit was nie – met Fred Mouton se kenmerkende styl. Die resultaat is eg Afrikaanse lekkerte!

Arguably the most enduring collection of South African short-fiction, Mafeking Road has never been out of print since its first publication in 1947. Although Roy Campbell wrote to Herman Charles Bosman, “I think your stories in Mafeking Road are the best that ever came out of South Africa,” Bosman himself was not quite happy with the text. “I was in such a hurry … that I didn’t do what I had always intended: i.e. to restore them as far as possible to the way they were originally, when I wrote them,” he replied. Now, for the first time, Bosman’s stories have been restored to the original 1930s (magazine) versions, which adds some 1 300 words of never-before-seen Bosman-isms to the text. Added to this is Fred Mouton’s signature style illustrations, which make this, quite simply, the best version of Mafeking Road ever published. Bosman would approve.

Jurie Steyn het 'n probleem. Nie net moet hy 'n bestaan probeer voer uit boerdery in die Marico nie, maar boonop dien sy voorkamer as die Drogevlei-poskantoor – en Jurie as die posmeester. "Tussen posorders en bloutong weet ek nie watter werk die ergste is nie. Ek moet wa-ghries op my muilkar smeer en seelwas op die possak sit. Partykeer raak ek deurmekaar. Eendag gaan ek nog 'n inkomsteseel op my hotkantmuil plak en die Bekkersdal-possak met 'n halfmaan en 'n streep brandmerk. Dan sal daar moeilikheid wees," se Jurie. "Met my hotmuil, bedoel ek." Elke week kom die halfdowe Oupa Bekker, At Naude (wat 'n draadloos besit), buurman Gysbert van Tonder, die berese Johnny Coen, wat eens op 'n tyd 'n railway shunter op Ottoshoop was, en ander kleurryke karakters in Jurie Steyn se voorkamer bymekaar om te wag vir die Goewermentlorrie van Bekkersdal, wat hul pos en melkkanne moet bring. Sake van die dag word druk bespreek, en die gesprekke waartoe dit lei, is gewoonlik skreeusnaaks. Herman Charles Bosman het in die laaste 18 maande van sy lewe sowat 80 stories vir die reeks In the Voorkamer in die nuusblad The Forum geskryf. Bosman het dit self bestempel as die beste werk wat hy ooit gelewer het. 'n Bekkersdal-marathon en ander voorkamerstories volg op die sukses van In die withaak se skadu, die eerste Afrikaanse versameling Oom Schalk Lourens-stories.

Marico Moon is a collection of 60 stories by the well-known, much-loved Herman Charles Bosman. Almost all of the Oom Schalk Lourens classics are included; also some less well known, but equally brilliant and amusing stories.

The ‘problem’ with many Bosman stories is that, as previously published, they use language that is today considered by many to be unacceptably offensive. For this reason, Bosman has been in serious danger of being sidelined by all except diehard fans. In a quest to overcome this difficulty, the publisher experimented with minor editorial adjustments and omissions, and concluded that Bosman can be presented in ways that faithfully present his storytelling brilliance without giving any offence. The result is Marico Moon: 60 stories with minimal editing, retaining the integrity of the original text.

These Bosman stories represent a superbly eclectic collection, with no consciously unifying factor other than that they inspire readers to smile, laugh, think, wonder or wander. The stories in Marico Moon are 60 excellent reasons why Lionel Abrahams referred to Bosman as ‘a South African literary genius’. Volmaan oor die Marico, which contains the same stories translated into Afrikaans by Hendrik Jansen, will be published simultaneously with Marico Moon.
