«Het beloofde land» is Adriaan van Dis's travel account of the Karoo, published by Meulenhoff in paperback (118 pages, in Dutch).
After years of denied visas, Adriaan van Dis travels across the Karoo plateau, in the interior of the Cape Province, with an old friend who is visiting her family. He portrays the white Afrikaner farmers, isolated in an arid land, and combines humour and compassion in a nuanced picture of a little-known South Africa.
Subtitled «een reis door de Karoo», it was published in 1990 and nominated for the AKO/ECI Literatuurprijs in 1991; it belongs to the Meulenhoff editie series.
For those seeking travel literature and wanting to learn about rural and Afrikaner South Africa at the end of the twentieth century.
Adriaan van Dis is a Dutch author. He debuted in 1983 with the novella Nathan Sid. In 1995 his book Indische Duinen, which in its narrative is a follow-up to his debut novella, was also awarded several prestigious literary awards.
