註釋"The dissolute Cape Town beer brewer, Willem Menssink, whose fatal passion for a young slave woman brought about his downfall; Carel Buijtendag, the beast of the Bokkeveld; and Estienne Barbier, the quixotic champion of the oppressed and leader of a rebellion against the VOC government: these, as well as an assortment of runaway slaves and Company deserters, are some of the lesser-known characters from the eighteenth-century Dutch Cape whom the historian Nigel Penn has brought to life in a series of hugely enjoyable and historically revealing stories."--Cover, p. [4].
