The Story of an African Farm (1883) is a novel by South African political activist and writer Olive Schreiner. Her first published novel, The Story of an African Farm was a bestseller upon its release despite being criticized for its portrayal of controversial social, religious, and political themes. Part Bildungsroman, part philosophical fiction, the novel is recognized as a groundbreaking work for its exploration of feminism, atheism, and the influence of British imperialism on the peoples of South Africa.Split into three sections, the novel begins with the childhood of its three main characters. Waldo, the son of the German farm-keeper Otto, is an intelligent and introspective boy who struggles with his religious faith and attempts to understand himself in relation to the order of the universe. Lyndall is a deeply philosophical thinker who strives toward independence and resists the gender norms imposed upon her by adults and others who would try to control her. Em, Lyndall's cousin, is a friendly girl who tends to believe others without questioning authority or intention. When an English businessman named Bonaparte Blenkins arrives at the farm looking for work, the children begin to suffer under his cruelly selective verbal and psychological abuse. As Blenkins attempts to position himself for control of Tant Sannie's farm, the children gain an informal education in treachery and the dynamics of power, disrupting their seemingly idyllic life in rural South Africa. The novel follows Waldo, Lyndall, and Em into adulthood, tracing their lives through their changing opinions towards romance, faith, and gender while illuminating the love that binds them despite their differences.With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Olive Schreiner's The Story of an African Farm is a classic of South African literature reimagined for modern readers.

A work that defies conventional categorization; however, one might best capture Dreams unique formal structure by construing it as a series of prose poems or narrative paintings, a starkly modern text inflected by the far older tradition of the medieval dream vision poem.

De to forældreløse kusiner Em og Lyndall vokser op på en sydafrikansk farm i 1860'erne. Pigerne er vidt forskellige og romanen følger dem i deres opvækst og voksne liv. Det er en fortælling om at blive voksen og foretage valg, som har betydning for resten af livet – om kærlighed, venskab, familie og frihed.Olive Schreiner (1855-1920) blev født i Sydafrika som datter af et missionærpar. Allerede som 20-årig begyndte hun at skrive sin første roman "Historien om en afrikansk farm". En årrække senere tog Schreiner til London, hvor hun i 1883 fik udgivet ovennævnte roman til stor skandale – alene af den årsag, at hovedpersonen var en ugift mor. Da stormen havde lagt sig, begyndte bogen dog at blive rost, og flere samtidige forfattere (heriblandt Oscar Wilde) så op til hende. Efterfølgende vendte Schreiner tilbage til Sydafrika, hvor hun engagerede sig i politik og kampen for afrikanernes rettigheder og frihed. I 1911 udgav hun bogen "Woman and Labour", der blev suffragetternes bibel i kvindernes kamp for ligestilling.
