About the book: 1928 / The author introduces the reader to the unique nature of South Africa, leads them into the wilds of the virgin forest and reveals to them true life the original inhabitants of this corner of the globe. Sometimes funny, sometimes ironic, sometimes stunning with genuine drama, these artistically completed stories attract with their artless simplicity, strength and accuracy of observation. The keen eye of the artist and impartial observer saw the true face of the autocratic and cruel masters of the country - colonial officers and officials, and under the black skin of the “savages” he discovered a warm human heart that harbored ardent hatred against the oppressors. Artist Georgy Petrovich Fitingof.
