Eleven short allegories in poetic prose, published in 1890. Life waits on the seashore for Love; a hunter spends his life climbing toward the white bird of Truth; a woman crosses a river toward the land of freedom; an artist mixes his colours with his own heart’s blood. Several pieces imagine a future in which women and men stand as equals.
Visionary writing by the author of The Story of an African Farm, much read by early feminists. Download the free EPUB.
