Summary "Diamond Dyke" by George Manville Fenn is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the challenges faced by two young Britons, Joseph Emson and his half-brother, Vandyke "Dyke" Emson, as they attempt to establish an ostrich farm in the arid landscape of South Africa. Alongside them is a local couple and a clever dog, creating a dynamic setting where they confront various adversities, including the wildlife dangers presented by lions. The opening of the narrative sets the stage with Dyke expressing his discontent about life on the dry and desolate veldt, highlighting his homesickness and frustrations with their venture. As he interacts with his older half-brother Joseph, the contrast between their perspectives becomes clear; Joseph remains optimistic while Dyke is more cynical. The brothers' conversation revolves around their struggles with the farming endeavor, leading them to embark on a journey to gather supplies. The initial chapters set a tone of brotherly camaraderie, while also introducing elements of adventure and the looming challenges posed by the harsh wilderness and its wildlife.
