Timo Ervasti and Tapio Riikonen "Kapinapäällikön pojat: Seikkailuja Etelä-Afrikan rajaseuduilla" by Mayne Reid is a novel written in the late 19th century. This adventure story follows the life of Hendrik van Bloom, a Boer farmer, and his family as they navigate the challenges of living in the harsh wilderness of South Africa, including encounters with wild animals and the threat of natural disasters. The narrative highlights themes of resilience, survival, and the complexities of colonial life. The opening of the story introduces us to Hendrik van Bloom and his family, depicting their life as trek-boers in the desolate yet beautiful African landscape. As van Bloom reflects on his past as a soldier and current struggles as a farmer, he tends to his small cattle herd with the help of his three sons and daughter, Trüey. However, a significant threat emerges when a massive swarm of migratory locusts, referred to as "springhaan," approaches, posing a disaster that could decimate their crops and livelihoods. The family's preparation and response to this impending crisis set the stage for the unfolding adventure and challenges they are about to face in the wilderness.
