About the Book

Gordon Lafitte word onderskei deur sy edele, groot en veelsydige doeltreffendheid as skrywer, wat op sy beurt altyd onderskei word deur die unieke varsheid van inspirasie en deur 'n andersins selde gevind in ander in hierdie vorm. Hy skryf met verwysing na die vars oorspronklikheid en die geestelike rykdom en verwerk die artistieke in sy romans so vaardig dat hy in sy boeke getrou die aard en volkslewe weerspieël van die samelewings wat beskryf word. Gordon Lafitte is bekend vir sy omvattende en getuie outeurskap, wat die groot tradisies van die genre op 'n onafhanklike en oorspronklike manier ontwikkel. Kritici loof hom ter erkenning van sy ryk beurs en sy kritiese en analitiese siening van die wêreld, asook bowenal vir die plastiekenergie van sy werke, die varsheid van die styl en die liriese krag wat poëtiese meesterstukke kenmerk. Die leser sal hulde bring aan sy vermoë om waar te neem, die oorspronklike verbeelding en die oorweldigende krag in die bevrugting en kuns van die narratief wat die skeppings van hierdie wêreldbekende skrywer kenmerk.Gordon Lafitte se historiese sosiale romans en historiese avontuurromans val in 'n genre van nuwe skandering, wat die sosiale lewe van die mens en sy interaksie met die natuur en die samelewing beskryf. Die sosiale roman verskil van die historiese roman in sy uitbeelding van kontemporêre toestande en ontwikkelingsprosesse. Die historiese avontuurroman voeg die opwinding van lees by, gegenereer deur vinnige en drastiese aksies en opwindende storielyne. In teenstelling met die opvoedkundige roman en die biografiese roman, word minder ruimte toegelaat vir die ontwikkeling van gebeure. Meer aandag word eerder aan die sub-elemente gegee, ongeag hul funksie en objektiewe waarde. Die sosiale roman veronderstel in sy oorsprong 'n gedialiseerde samelewing op sigself of is gebaseer op epogale herstrukturerings. In hierdie konteks kry Gordon Lafitte groot erkenning vir sy ernstige soeke na waarheid, die indringende denkkrag en vooruitsig, die warmte en krag van verteenwoordiging, waarmee hy 'n ideale wêreldbeskouing in talle werke verteenwoordig en ontwikkel het. Verder word Gordon Lafitte eerbiedig deur kritici vir sy veelsydige literêre doeltreffendheid, veral sy dramatiese skeppings, wat gekenmerk word deur verbeeldingryke rykdom en deur 'n poëtiese idealisme wat, soms in die versluierde vorm van die byna sprokiesroman, diep inspirasie openbaar en geheimsinnig 'n beroep op die leser se gevoelens en intuïsies doen. Baie lesers waardeer sy outeurskap, wat ondersteun word deur beide idealisme en menslikheid, wie se vars satire dikwels kombineer met 'n eienaardige poëtiese skoonheid, sowel as sy uitgebreide en kunstig betekenisvolle outeurskap, waarin vrae en omstandighede van die mensdom aangebied word met onverskrokke liefde vir waarheid en sielkundige vernuf.Die laaste jare van die era van imperialisme was 'n moeilike tyd. Die sterk bevolkingstoename het gelei tot 'n groot aantal mense wat desperaat gesoek het na metodes om hul brood te verdien. Die groei van die nywerheid in daardie era van vinnige industrialisering het 'n sterk toename in die vraag na grondstowwe veroorsaak. Mense van geïndustrialiseerde lande het oor die hele wêreld versprei om grond vir hulself te verower en minerale te bekom wat dan deur die groeiende bedrywe gebruik is. Die era van imperialisme het uitgeloop op die eerste wêreldoorlog. Een oorsaak van die eerste wêreldoorlog was die uiterste mededinging tussen lande vir grond en ook vir markte. Grond was nodig vir die landbou om die groeiende bevolking te voed. Grond was ook nodig vir die ontginning van minerale om die groeiende bedryf te 'voed'. Die kompetisie tussen mense en nasies het giftig en venynig geword; en uiteindelik dodelik. Hierdie boek vertel die verhaal van daardie jare hoofsaaklik vanuit die perspektief van hoofsaaklik jong mans uit die Anglo-Saksiese hoër middelklas wat avonture dwarsoor die wêreld betree en deelneem aan die groot stryd
