The Complete Works Of William Shakespeare (Paperback): Matthew Freemantle The Complete Works Of William Shakespeare (Paperback)
Matthew Freemantle
R191 Discovery Miles 1 910 Ships in 4 - 8 working days

The Complete Works of William Shakespeare is anything but Shakespeare. Unless you’ve never read Shakespeare.

This debut poetry collection by Matthew Freemantle is at times hilarious, at times snarky and at other times a concise mirror reflecting back the absurdity of modern life in South Africa - especially during multiple lockdowns.

A high-brow toilet book that tackles personal reflections on toes, fatherhood, sex, commerce and identity.

Ariel - Faber Modern Classics (Paperback, Main - Faber Modern Classics): Sylvia Plath Ariel - Faber Modern Classics (Paperback, Main - Faber Modern Classics)

Ariel, first published in 1965, contains many of Sylvia Plath's best-known poems, written in an extraordinary burst of creativity just before her death in 1963. Including poems such as 'Lady Lazarus', 'Edge', 'Daddy' and 'Paralytic', it was the first of four collections to be published by Faber & Faber. Ariel is the volume on which Sylvia Plath's reputation as one of the most original, daring and gifted poets of the twentieth century rests. 'Since she died my mother has been dissected, analysed, reinterpreted, reinvented, fictionalized, and in some cases completely fabricated. It comes down to this: her own words describe her best, her ever-changing moods defining the way she viewed her world and the manner in which she pinned down her subjects with a merciless eye.' - from Frieda Hughes's introduction to Ariel

Die meeste sterre is lankal dood is die bekroonde digter Johann de Lange se dertiende bundel. Dit bestaan uit ses afdelings, deurgaans gewy aan vlietende oomblikke vasgevang in 'n vers ("om met woorde die onsegbare te sê"). Die bundel het 'n elegiese toonaard, en word oorheers deur 'n bewustheid van verlies & verganklikheid, van "inskaduwings van die lig". Verse oor die skryfproses figureer as teenvoeter vir die verbygaande aard van mens wees. Dit is verse vir "my mooi dooies". In "Oggendmusiek" beskryf die digter 'n vroegoggendkoor van voëls voor sonsopkoms, elders 'n koorddanser, voetjie vir voetjie oor die spantou. Soos in sy vorige werk is die erotiese verse 'n hoogtepunt in die bundel, bv in "Ode aan die mielie": "Nét so, nog aan die oggend ­­ tussen die syige bene van die dag ­­staan hy, volryp, pittig & reg."

Bloed & sneeu

Bloed op sneeu is ’n pasgebore rooi,
van iets gewond, ’n struikelende spoor.
En die sneeu? Is daar énigiets so mooi,
so prilwit gespits, as ’n haseoor?

R355 R305 Discovery Miles 3 050 Save R50 (14%) Ships in 4 - 8 working days

Krog is ’n internasionaal gerekende digter maar ook plaaslik geliefd. Vyftig jaar ná haar opspraakwekkende debuut, Dogter van Jefta, verskyn daar ’n splinternuwe versameling waarin meer as honderd gedigte uit haar elf bundels saampraat. Verse oor eerste liefde, oor moederskap, oor die landskap, en oor onreg; oplaas ook oor ouer word.

'n Vry vrou bevat gunstelinge uit Krog se oeuvre maar ook minder bekende dog ewe verrassende verse. Saamgestel deur Karen de Wet.

Van Bientang het net die naam van 'n restaurant in Hermanus oorgebly: Bientang's Cave, asook 'n weggooi-opmerking: die laaste Strandloper. Uit hierdie gegewens sny die digter se verbeelding spoor in 'n kontra-epos. Wie was Bientang? Te midde van historiese geskrifte, kontemporêre angste en oorlewerings verskyn buitelyne om haar vir oomblikke binne bereik te bring. Die toonaard van die bundel is egter verlies oor 'n verlede wat geen spoor laat in die opgeskryfde geskiedenisse van die land nie.
