Originally published in 1924, "Dreams" is a collection of short stories
written by South African writer Olive Schreiner. Her second book,
"Dreams" contains eleven short stories inspired by Schreiner's dreams
and her experiences living on a South African farm. Olive Schreiner
(1855-1920) was a South African anti-war campaigner, intellectual, and
author most famous for her highly-acclaimed novel "The Story of an
African Farm" (1883), which deals with such issues as existential
independence, agnosticism, individualism, and the empowerment of women.
Other notable works by this author include: "Closer Union: a Letter on
South African Union and the Principles of Government" (1909), and "Woman
and Labour" (1911). Read & Co. Classics is proudly republishing these
classic short stories now in a new edition complete with a
specially-commissioned new biography of the author.
