At the peak of European Imperialism, steamboat captain Charles Marlow travels deep into the African Congo on his way to relieve the elusive Mr Kurtz, an ivory trader renowned for his fearsome reputation.

'Oh Mama, how spiritless, how tame was Edward's manner in reading to us last night I felt for my sister most severely. Yet she bore it with so much composure, she seemed scarcely to notice it. I could hardly keep my seat.'

Spirited and impulsive, Marianne Dashwood is the complete opposite to her controlled and sensible sister, Elinor. When it comes to matters of the heart, Marianne is passionate and romantic and soon falls for the charming, but unreliable Mr Willoughby. Elinor, in contrast, copes stoically with the news that her love, Edward Ferrars is promised to another.

It is through their shared experiences of love that both sisters come to learn that the key to a successful match comes from finding the perfect mixture of rationality and feeling.

Hoe kyk ’n mens terug na jou lewe en wens jy het ‘n ander vurk in die pad geneem? Wat sou gebeur het as? As?

In dié diep ontroerende novelle toor die skrywer soos ’n alchemis van ouds met verdriet en spyt. Dit is ’n liefdesroman, ’n elegie aan die verlore liefde. Die verteller verlang terug na Anders, na Jena, na Duitsland. Maar die verlede spoel ’n mens rond soos die see.

Nou is dit te laat. Vir altyd te laat.

Oorgange en voortgange is 'n bundel oorspronklike navorsingsartikels saamgestel as huldiging van prof. Heinrich Ohlhoff. Hy was sedert 1966 in verskeie hoedanighede verbonde aan die Universiteit van Pretoria. Hy is 'n gerekende kenner van die Afrikaanse poësie, maar ook ewe tuis op die terreine van die Afrikaanse taalkunde, Algemene Literatuurwetenskap, Goties en Kultuurteorie. As filoloog het sy navorsing gekonsentreer op Middeleeuse Europese kultuur, Renaissance studie en sewentiende-eeuse Nederlandse letterkunde. Hy is op al hierdie vakterreine 'n wandelende ensiklopedie.

Elkeen van die bydraers tot die bundel het 'n persoonlike verhouding met Heinrich Ohlhoff, as voormalige studente of vakkollegas. Van sy oudstudente het hom die eerste keer in hul voorgraadse klasse meegemaak, sommige het hom later as begeleier vir hul nagraadse studie gekies, in sigself klinkende getuienis van hul vertroue. Die studies wat hier opgeneem is, handel oor die Middeleeuse Nederlandse letterkunde, die Afrikaanse biografie, Afrikaanse mondelinge oordrag, akademiese geletterdheid, die leksikologie en veral die Afrikaanse prosa en poësie.

Hierdie vakverskeidenheid is toepaslik omdat Heinrich Ohlhoff op al hierdie terreine met gemak kan saampraat.

Human life would not be the same without language communication. Sounds and symbols are the most basic characteristics of all languages, but the system by which these are linked to form meaning is conventionalised in very different ways. Many school-going learners in South Africa are currently not being instructed in their primary language for reasons that include the perception of increased economic opportunity that English gives. Learn2Teach accesses the theories and practices, and offers guidance on the principles, of teaching and learning English as a first or additional language within the context of the multilingual South African classroom as set out in the national curriculum. Learn2Teach makes special reference to the communicative approach which supports the outcomes-based education philosophy by not only promoting basic interpersonal oral-aural skills, but also integrating the expressive and receptive skills needed to develop the cognitive academic language proficiency so necessary for speakers of other languages being schooled in English. Many practical examples and teaching strategies are suggested and teachers are encouraged to develop their own coherent philosophy based on personal experiences.

Research writing: breaking the barriers is a title for those who regularly write documents based on research. If you find your writing is stale and you are unable to improve it, or you are trying to understand why you cannot finish a paper, or perhaps you are feeling jaded and disillusioned with the environment of 'publish or perish' and would like to gain a sense of control, enjoyment and inspiration from doing research and publishing, then this title is for you. While it is conceptualised around qualitative research writing in an academic context, the title focuses on generating quality ideas, demystifying the writing process and breaking the barriers of real and imagined writing restrictions. Any researcher can benefit from this creative adventure.

As South Africa continues to advance towards the fulfilment of its visionary constitution, significant shifts in the mode, style, and theme of its nation's theatre have begun to take hold. The four plays in this collection, by Lara Foot Newton, Mike van Graan, Motshabi Tyelele and Craig Higginson, offer insights into an emerging national identity. The primary themes explored in the four texts - reconciliation, matriarchy, justice, accountability, corruption, truth, memory, and violence - reflect on the challenges and questions South Africans are confronted with in their nascent democratic state. In the two essays that complement this anthology, theatre director Greg Homann argues that South African theatre and her playwrights have surfaced into a new period, one that signals new themes and challenges. The mode of representation has shifted and the monological form we came to both loathe and love has dissipated to match a democratic society grappling with multiple points of view. Reach (Lara Foot Newton) is a story of trying to connect. Two South Africans from different generations reach out across conflicting experiences and racial lines in an attempt to reconcile their shared past. Some Mother's Sons (Mike van Graan) questions the success and failure of the South African criminal and justice system. Vusi and Braam, two lawyers and friends, negotiate their experiences of apartheid violence and post-apartheid criminality. Shwele Bawo!!: A Grave Injustice (Motshabi Tyelele) is a one-woman play detailing how wife and mother, Dikeledi Nkabinde, has found herself locked-up for the murder of her Black Economic Empowered husband. Dream of the Dog (Craig Higginson) is set on the eve of Richard and Patricia Wiley's departure from their KwaZulu-Natal farm. A series of interactions that challenge notions of truth, revenge, memory, and justice unfold when a familiar visitor arrives.

Die mens se kommer oor die omgewing is een van die dominante temas van die laaste dekades van die 20ste eeu. In die Weste (en in Europa) het omgewingsbewustheid wyd posgevat en selfs 'n modeverskynsel geword. Ofskoon daar in bree verband nog nie genoeg begrip vir die mens se bydrae tot die krisis en sy reaksie op die globale veranderinge is nie, geniet hierdie kwessies toenemend aandag in die kunste. Ook in die letterkunde kan die "groen gesprek" as 'n belangrike groeipunt beskou word.

Fools, the title story in this collection, is a tale of generations in the struggle against oppression. Zamani is a middle-aged teacher who was once respected by the community as a leader of the future. Then he disgrac­ed himself, and now he's haunted by the impotence of his present life. A chance meeting brings him up against Zani, a young student activist whose attempts to kindle the flames of resistance in Charterston Location are ludicrously impractical. Both affection and hostility bind Zamani and Zani together in an intense and unpredictable relationship. Finding each other means finding the common ground of their struggle. It also means reexamining their lives - and, notably, their relationship s with women.'The Test', 'The Prophetess', and 'The Music of the Violin' all deal with formative experiences in a township childhood: an act of courage and en­durance; a close encounter with an awe-inspiring old woman; a choice which must be made between the narrow ambitions of middle-class parents and the challenge of the township streets, at once more inviting and more dangerous.'Uncle' celebrates the gift of one generation to another: a gift that mingles music with other adventures of the spirit, recklessness with resourcefulness, and laughter with wisdom.
