Another Country by Karel Schoeman
Versluis, a solitary, well-off, rather rigid Dutchman, travels to Bloemfontein because he has TB. Here he comes into contact with fellow sufferers also seeking a cure, with the people who make up the white community of the raw South African town.
Karel Schoeman, one of South Africa's most celebrated writers, is the author of eighteen novels and numerous historical works. In 1961 he joined the order of the Franciscans in Ireland, but was released from his vows and turned to library science. Schoeman has worked as a librarian in Amsterdam and South Africa, and has translated several world literary classics into Afrikaans. In 1999 he was one of only two living South African writers to be honored with a State President's Award by Nelson Mandela. His has received many literary awards including: the Hertzog Prize in 1970, 1986 and 1995; the SAUK Prize for African TV dramas 1990; the Stals Prize for Cultural History 1997; and the Louis Hiemstra Prize for non fiction 2002.
