A collection of 19 mostly classic traveler's accounts of South Africa. It is a vivid introduction to the land by foreign luminaries and comic masters, including Mark Twain, Alan Moorhead, Michael Palin and P.J. O'Rourke. Not surprisingly Cape Town, Johannesburg and Durban feature prominently. Organized chronologically, it provides insight into how foreigners have responded to the country, its culture and racial politics from 1850 to 1997.
