Die stoetmeester (Afrikaans, Paperback, 2nd ed): Etienne Van Heerden Die stoetmeester (Afrikaans, Paperback, 2nd ed)
Etienne Van Heerden
R518 Discovery Miles 5 180 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

God sou nooit so 'n spesie bedink nie," se Seamus Butler van sy kantelbokke, die genetiese frats wat sy vader toevallig geteel het op die Setlaar-familieplaas. Die bokke het 'n aangebore defek wat goud werd is: hulle slaan flou neer as hulle skrik. 'n Enkele kantelbok wei saam met 'n trop kleinvee en as 'n ongedierte toeslaan, word die bok prooi en die kudde ontkom. Hulle, die weemoedige bokke met die spottende geel oe, gee die Butlers rykdom en invloed in die Oos-Kaap – en dis belangrik in die tyd van die groot politieke ommekeer. Want die oopbars van 'n oliebron reg in die middel van die hawestad Port Cecil dryf die swart civic-organisasie se aandrang op 'n verenigde stadsraad op die spits. Aan die voorpunt van die swart aspirasies staan MaNdlovu Thandani, onvernietigbaar en groter as lewensgroot. Teenoor haar: Seamus Butler met sy donker; depressiewe buie wat in hom sleur soos die rivier wat in sewe deltabene deur die stad in die see uitmond. En rondom hulle, in twee werelde wat deur die geskiedenis op mekaar afgestuur word, is elkeen se familiekring wat dreig om mee te gee onder die druk van die tyd. Dis hier waar die verhaal van Die stoetmeester meesleurend deurloop, deur die lewens van mense, elkeen betrokke by, elkeen uitgelewer aan die boeiende oerwereld van die Oos-Kaap in 'n tyd waarin skoonheid en wreedheid, gewelddadigheid en hoop verstrengel raak. Die stoetmeester is, na die satiriese roman Casspirs en Campari's, veel meer verwant aan die sfeer van Toorberg, Etienne van Heerden se hoogs suksesvolle tweede roman. 'n Storie soos min, wat opstaan uit die weeige maar grootse landskap van die Kei.

Bidsprinkaan (Afrikaans, Paperback): Andre P. Brink Bidsprinkaan (Afrikaans, Paperback)
Andre P. Brink
R451 Discovery Miles 4 510 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Afrika se eeue oue magiesheid en hartstog vorm die agtergrond van die intiem verweefde komedie en tragedie in hierdie roman. Dit is gebaseer op die historiese figuur Kupido Kakkerlak (c. 1760 – c. 1825) se lewe. Maar die raaisel van 'n mens se lewe word ten beste met die verbeelding benader. Kupido is nie gebore nie, 'n arend het hom gebring. In daardie tyd het ook 'n bidsprinkaan verskyn - 'n teken van die gode. Wonderwerke het soos optelgoed op die aarde rondgele. Nadat Heitsi-Eibib in die veld aan Kupido verskyn het, raak hy as baasjagter bekend tot ver buite die grense van die boereplaas waar hy grootword. Hy is ook die drinker, leuenaar, minnaar en bakleier van die kontrei. Onder die sendeling dr. Van der Kemp se invloed word hy egter die eerste Khoi wat as sendeling aan die Kaap die Goeie Hoop georden is.

This is a reissue of this Methuen classic to tie in with a major new production. The republic of Andorra is invaded by totalitarian forces. The populace capitulates to the anti-Semitism of the aggressor and betrays Andri, the foundling son of the local schoolmaster. But Andri it seems, is not a Jew at all. Andorra explores the mechanism of racism with the story of a non-Jew brought up as a Jew, who falls victim to anti-Semitic hostility.
