"Robert Grendon's epic Paul Kruger's Dream is the first surviving extended work of literature written by a black South African. Composed while Grendon was in the British Army during the South African War (1899-1902), it details South Africa's hostile race relations while beautifully rendering the country's landscapes. The poem was masterfully written by one of the few black South African's to have been taught Latin and Ancient Greek. Mixing Greek, Roman, Christian, and African mythologies, the work is entirely unique. The Dream begins with the arrival of the Dutch in southern Africa and tells the story of the birth of the Afrikaner people, their trials with the British and Dingane, and their establishment of the Transvaal Republic. Thought for many years to have been lost, Paul Kruger's Dream is in many senses a literary and historical miracle."--Back cover.
