Viac o knihe

The biography explores the lives of three pivotal figures in 19th-century South Africa, each representing distinct cultural identities: Kruger, akin to a Biblical patriarch; Lobengula, a black priest-king; and Rhodes, embodying British imperialism. Their intertwined stories reflect the complex dynamics of land, power, and identity during a transformative period in South African history. Through their contrasting perspectives, the book delves into the broader themes of conflict and coexistence among diverse cultures.
