Synopsis

Cape Currey is a historical fiction novel written by Rene Juta and published in 1920. The story is set in the late 18th century in South Africa during the time of the British colonization. The protagonist of the story is a young man named Cape Currey who is born to a Dutch family settled in the Cape Colony. He is a skilled hunter and a fierce fighter, but he is also a man of principle and honor.The novel follows Cape Currey's journey as he navigates the complex political and social landscape of South Africa during this turbulent time. He becomes embroiled in a conflict between the British and the Dutch settlers, and he is forced to choose sides. Along the way, he falls in love with a beautiful woman named Anna, who is also caught up in the conflict.The novel is richly detailed and vividly portrays the landscapes, people, and culture of South Africa during this time period. It is a story of love, loyalty, and betrayal, and it explores themes of identity, belonging, and the struggle for power and control.Overall, Cape Currey is a compelling historical novel that offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of South Africa and the struggles faced by its people during the era of British colonization.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
