Its central figure is Brand de la Rey, an environmental researcher living in isolation, while the surrounding community is overwhelmed by the hardship of the land.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book has drawn scholarly attention for its treatment of isolation and environmental crisis, and for the liminal state in which its characters find themselves. It was later translated into English by Michiel Heyns as Bundu, and that edition was shortlisted for the 2013 Independent Foreign Fiction Prize, a measure of the novel's lasting literary standing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis copy is the first edition in the publisher's tan cloth with its illustrated jacket, a clean and well-preserved example of late-career Afrikaans fiction by one of the Sestigers generation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor Profile: Chris Barnard\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChristian Johan (Chris) Barnard was born on 15 July 1939 in Mataffin, near Nelspruit, and died on 28 December 2015.
