This vintage softcover is the 1983 Afrikaans translation of Robert Geline's adventure story, originally published in the United States as Trapped in the Deep. Released by Daan Retief Uitgewers in Pretoria, the book is part of a series of dramatic, illustrated tales for young readers, featuring interior artwork by Jack Hacker that captures the tension of a deep-sea rescue mission. Geline is known for writing high-stakes narrative non-fiction and educational adventures that were widely distributed in schools during the 1980s. The book is in good vintage condition, showing some light shelf wear to the edges and corners of the covers, though the binding remains secure and the internal pages are clean, crisp, and free from significant foxing or inscriptions.
