South Africa

South Africa Land of the Cape of Good Hope, rainbow nation, host of the 2010 World Cup, this tour guide not only takes you to South Africa's most beautiful nature parks, but also follows the tracks of famous literary figures and their works between Johannesburg and Cape Town, between the Garden Route and the vastness of the North, led by Nobel Prize winners Nadine Gordimer and J. M. Coetzee. Nelson Mandela, Desmond Tutu and younger South African voices such as Gcina Mhlophe stand for the tension between past and present. We follow Cees Nooteboom, the "whale caller" of Zakes Mda and the life stations of Mahatma Gandhi. A service section with the most important addresses completes this volume.
