| Publisher Description: Originally published in 1893, "Dream Life and Real Life - a Little African Story" is a short story that illuminates issues of ethnicity and gender through a tragic tale of a little girl that becomes enslaved by a family. Olive Schreiner (1855-1920) was a South African anti-war campaigner, intellectual, and author most famous for her highly-acclaimed novel "The Story of an African Farm" (1883), which deals with such issues as existential independence, agnosticism, individualism, and the empowerment of women. Other notable works by this author include: "Closer Union: a Letter on South African Union and the Principles of Government" (1909), and "Woman and Labour" (1911). Read & Co. Classics is proudly republishing this classic short story now in a new edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author. |
