Anthony Trollope toured South Africa in 1877 and here relates an insightful history of the first Dutch and then British colonial rule imposed over the native peoples as well as vivid descriptions of the people, the architecture, the landscape and the sights and sounds of late 19th-century South Africa.
Anthony Trollope (1815-1882) was a truly prolific Victorian novelist whose most famous works include his series of 'Barchester' and 'Palliser' novels. He is also credited with introducing the red pillar box while working as a civil servant with the Post Office in Ireland. After his retirement he travelled to Australia, New Zealand and South Africa, producing books on his visits to all three.
