| 520 | _a"With Steyn and De Wet" by Philip Pienaar is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work delves into the Boer War, depicting the experiences of the author, a telegraph operator, as he navigates the tumultuous landscape of conflict in South Africa. The narrative is centered around notable figures like General de Wet and offers insights into the sentiments of the Boer people during wartime, highlighting themes of patriotism and resilience. At the start of the book, the setting is introduced in the tranquil confines of the Convento de Christo in Thomar, juxtaposed against the memories of recent strife and war. As the protagonist reflects on the emotions surrounding the conflict, we see the transition from hope and anticipation of battle to the raw reality of loss and sorrow. He is later involved in the telegraph service, receiving reports of battles and casualties, including the death of his uncle. This reality ignites his desire to participate actively in the conflict, leading him to join a group of varied individuals to the front lines. The opening portion effectively captures the juxtaposition between peace and the chaotic atmosphere of war, setting the tone for the narrative ahead.
