In a province

Sir Laurens Jan van der Post (aka Laurens van der Post) was a 20th century Afrikaner author of many books, farmer, war hero, political adviser to British heads of government, close friend of Prince Charles, godfather of Prince William, educator, journalist, humanitarian, philosopher, explorer, and conservationist. A review from Goodreads, This is his very first book, published in 1934 and one I had never read before. He is very descriptive and it is easy to see the places and people as he describes them. I find his writing of an intellectual style of prose and sometimes I admit to rereading some of his paragraphs more than once in order to process and digest all that he has to offer. He makes you work to really get to grips with what I feel he is trying to teach the reader with his principles for life. More importantly, Laurens Van Der Post makes you think! Highly recommended.
