Dreams

By Olive Schreiner

Book Overview

All day the soft wind played with her hair, and the young, young face looked out across the water. She was waiting-she was waiting; but she could not tell for what. All day the waves ran up and up on the sand, and ran back again, and the pink shells rolled. Life sat waiting; all day, with the sunlight in her eyes, she sat there, till, grown weary, she laid her head upon her knee and fell asleep, waiting still.

Customer Reviews

Most beloved book; lifechanging.

I found this book as a young child in my grandparents' library. It is composed of poetic, powerfully symbolic short stories that grapple with basic issues: what is truth, love, freedom, justice, heaven and hell? What enobles or destroys relationships? I read and reread them then. And I still do. The language is of an older time, though easily understood and lovely. Glad to see this finally available in print. Highly recommended.

I was thrilled to find this book has been reprinted and is available in a new copy. It is also great to find the company that publishes these reprints -- and keeps this book, and others, alive.
