Willem Pretorius - Iewers, Erens (Afrikaans, Hardcover): Willem Pretorius - Iewers, Erens (Afrikaans, Hardcover)
1
R365 Discovery Miles 3 650 Ships in 4 - 8 working days

Willem Pretorius is een van ons voorste skilders wat die Suid-Afrikaanse platteland vasvat met soortgelyke patos as Walter Meyer, aan wie alle skilders in hierdie genre hulde bring. Sy skilderye is amper foto-realisties maar inspireer tog ʼn sekere gevoel van nostalgie na ʼn verlore onskuld, na die sogenaamde goeie ou dae wat nie vir almal goed was nie. Daar is ook ʼn afstandelikheid, ʼn gebrek aan kommentaar: Die landskap spreek vir homself.

Die boek bevat kleurafdrukke, professioneel gefotografeer, van sy 50 jongste werke, ʼn goeie mengsel van sy gebruiklike onderwerpe: huise, treine, versaakte swembaddens, landskappe, ou karre en gekrokte bakkies, plattelandse winkels, huise en dorpstonele, ensovoorts.

Elke skildery is begelei deur ʼn skryfsel van ʼn bekende skrywer, musikant, digter of skilder. Dis nie ʼn beskrywing of tegniese ontleding van die skildery nie, eerder vry assosiasie, ʼn kort kortverhaal, ʼn herinneringskets. Elk is ongeveer 500 woorde en beslaan dus nie meer as een bladsy nie; die bladsy langs die skildery wat dit geïnspireer het.

WINNER OF THE NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE 2024

Like a long winter’s dream, this haunting and visionary new novel from 2024 Nobel Prize winner Han Kang takes us on a journey from contemporary South Korea into its painful history

‘One of the most profound and skilled writers working on the contemporary world stage’ Deborah Levy

Beginning one morning in December, We Do Not Part traces the path of Kyungha as she travels from the city of Seoul into the forests of Jeju Island, to the home of her old friend Inseon. Hospitalized following an accident, Inseon has begged Kyungha to hasten there to feed her beloved pet bird, who will otherwise die.

Kyungha takes the first plane to Jeju, but a snowstorm hits the island the moment she arrives, plunging her into a world of white. Beset by icy wind and snow squalls, she wonders if she will arrive in time to save the bird – or even survive the terrible cold which envelops her with every step. As night falls, she struggles her way to Inseon’s house, unaware as yet of the descent into darkness which awaits her.

There, the long-buried story of Inseon’s family surges into light, in dreams and memories passed from mother to daughter, and in a painstakingly assembled archive documenting a terrible massacre on the island seventy years before.

We Do Not Part is a hymn to friendship, a eulogy to the imagination and above all an indictment against forgetting.

Translated by e. yaewon and Paige Aniyah Morris

One of the few books about photography to come out of the continent and where the majority of contributors are African and work on the continent.

Going beyond photography as an isolated medium to engage larger questions and interlocking forms of expression and historical analysis, Ambivalent gathers a new generation of scholars based on the continent to offer an expansive frame for thinking about questions of photography and visibility in Africa. The volume presents African relationships with photography – and with visibility more generally – in ways that engage and disrupt the easy categories and genres that have characterised the field to date.

Contributors pose new questions concerning the instability of the identity photograph in South Africa; ethnographic photographs as potential history; humanitarian discourse from the perspective of photographic survivors of atrocity photojournalism; the nuanced passage from studio to screen in postcolonial digital portraiture; and the burgeoning visual activism in West Africa.

Winner of the Duff Cooper Prize, King Leopold’s Ghost is the true and haunting account of Leopold's brutal regime and its lasting effect on a ruined nation. With an introduction by award-winning novelist Barbara Kingsolver.

In the late nineteenth century, a time when Africa was being parcelled among European powers, King Leopold of Belgium seized vast, untapped territories around the Congo River. Under his brutal regime, resources were plundered, natives oppressed and populations halved. Amidst the corruption, Leopold maintained a façade of a compassionate leader.

In King Leopold's Ghost, author Adam Hochschild introduces us to a group of missionaries and idealists who, upon their arrival in Africa, found themselves in the middle of a horrifying holocaust. Their courage to stand against Leopold shines a light on this often overlooked chapter of history.

A devastating piece of African history, King Leopold's Ghost explores the grave cost paid by those silenced by colonial terror.

A book of evocative and atmospheric photographs taken by Dick Hawkes to create a representative record of this precious and ecologically unique habitat - before much of it is lost to the many threats it faces. Chalk streams have been described as England's "rainforest". Around 85% of the world's chalk streams are in England. They are beautiful, biologically distinct and amazingly rich in wildlife, but are under threat from man-made issues of abstraction, pollution from chemicals and effluent, development for housing, and climate change. Included in the book are images of typical habitats and species of wildlife found in chalk streams and water meadows, highlighting those that are rare or most under threat.
