Description

This novel is the first of many works of literature which takes the great Zulu leader, king and emperor as its subject. The story is well known, partly due to Mofolo but also to works of literature by Badian, Senghor and Mazisi Kunene. O. R. Dathorne has said 'The historical Chaka is only the impetus for Mofolo's psychological study of the nature of repudiation.' Mofolo presents it as a study of human passion, of an uncontrolled and then uncontrollable ambition leading to the moral destruction of the character and the inevitable punishment.

Translated from the Sesotho by Daniel P. Kunene. The English translation by F.H Dutton was published for the International African Institute in 1931. Professor Kunene says himself that with this translation 'Dutton makes an important contribution to world literature'. However, it has been felt for some time that a new translation was needed particularly as Dutton used a somewhat heavy biblical style.

Absolutely Fantastic

This was my first time ordering from SciFier but it definitely won't be my last. When it comes to buying books online the packaging needs to be good, SciFier were great they used bubble wrap to make sure they arrived perfect. Amazing range of books that majority are lower priced than most book retailers. Wonderful service, I'll definitely be recommending to everyone. Thank you.

My favourite pick for manga

Great delivery to EU, no issues with customs. Very good packaging. A nice selection of manga and, so far, the best prices I could find :)

Great as always

Same old, same old. Amazing experience, great packaging, shipping was faster since it was a bit smaller and check out was smooth as butter. I have now put myself on a buy allowance because I cannot be trusted lol.
