by Kaye, Helga

  • Used
  • Hardcover
(Johannesburg, Macmillan, 1978) 0869540734. 8vo; original brown boards, lettered in gilt on spine; pictorial dustwrapper; pp. 120, incl. index; plates. Dustwrapper very slightly rubbed, with earlier owner's tape reinforcing to head and tail of lightly sunned spine panel; a little foxing to endpapers and edges. Very good condition. "Within the short space of twenty years, Nellmapius was to win and lose several fortunes, to become friend and confidant of Paul Kruger and to experience the bitterness of an ignominious prison sentence on a charge of embezzlement. The drama of this court case, which led to the involvement of President Paul Kruger in a clash between the Executive and the Judiciary, is still quoted in legal circles. Oom Paul's intercession was a public acknowledgement of the friendship and trust that had been built up over the years between these two men. This account of the career and final personal tragedy of the Transvaal's first industrialist brings to life a remarkable figure in South African history." .
