Bag om Kafir Stories (1895)

Kafir Stories is a collection of short stories written by William Charles Scully and originally published in 1895. The stories are set in South Africa and revolve around the lives of the Kafir people, who were the indigenous population of the region at the time. The book contains 15 stories, each of which offers a unique insight into the Kafir way of life, their customs, beliefs, and traditions. Scully, who was a colonial administrator in South Africa, draws on his experiences living among the Kafir people to create vivid and engaging stories that offer a glimpse into a world that was largely unknown to Western readers at the time. The stories cover a range of themes, from love and betrayal to revenge and justice, and are told with a keen eye for detail and a deep respect for the Kafir people and their culture. Overall, Kafir Stories is a fascinating and important work of colonial literature that offers a valuable perspective on the history and culture of South Africa.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
