'Van Wyk's most popular and famous work, the epic Raka, was published in 1941. Later there were not only reissues, but also special editions, and to commemorate his sixtieth birthday a deluxe edition with lithographs by the artist Katrine Harries was published. Raka was also translated into German (by Kellner) and English (by Dawes), as well as into Zulu, Sotho and Xhosa for broadcasts by the SABC.' (https://www.litnet.co.za/np-van-wyk-louw-1906-1970/)
