More information

Malherbe is most noted for having written what is regarded as the first novel of artistic value in Afrikaans, Vergeet niet (Do Not Forget). His Biblical novels--Die Hart van Moab (The Heart of Moab, 1933), Saul die worstelheld (Saul the Struggle Hero, 1935), and Die profeet (The Prophet, 1937) draw a parallel between the Afrikaners and the Israelites of the Old Testament, yet today they are lightly regarded. Malherbe was also active in the promotion of Afrikaans. ...   Malherbe is most noted for having written what is regarded as the first novel of artistic value in Afrikaans, Vergeet niet (Do Not Forget).
