| Summary | "The Settler and the Savage" by R. M. Ballantyne is a historical novel written in the mid-19th century. The book follows the adventures of Charlie Considine, a young man navigating the challenges of early 19th century South Africa, as he finds himself lost on the wild karroo and encounters both a friendly settler and various indigenous peoples. The novel explores themes of survival, camaraderie, and the harsh realities faced by settlers during this tumultuous period. At the start of the book, Charlie Considine is depicted as a solitary and lost youth traversing the desolate karroo. After two days without food or water, he meets Hans Marais, a Dutch farmer, who provides him with much-needed sustenance and companionship. Their interaction reveals the precariousness of frontier life and hints at the underlying tensions between settlers and the indigenous Kafirs. As the two young men forge a bond during their meal, they discuss their backgrounds and establish plans for future journeys, highlighting the mix of hope and uncertainty that pervades settler life in this challenging new land.
