«Un turbulent silence» is the historical novel by André Brink, published by LGF/Le Livre de Poche in paperback (573 pages, in French).
In 1824, on an isolated farm in South Africa, a slave revolt breaks out. Galant, a chained slave, rises against his masters: Nicolaas, his foster brother, and Barend, husband of the beautiful Hester. The alternating voices of several characters weave a story of passion, violence, and longing for freedom, with love for Africa as a backdrop.
Work originally published in 1982; the French edition, translated by Jean Guiloineau, dates from 2003.
Aimed at readers of historical fiction and African literature, especially those seeking stories about nineteenth-century South Africa.
André Philippus Brink was a South African novelist, essayist and poet. He wrote in both Afrikaans and English and taught English at the University of Cape Town.
