R120 R108 Discovery Miles 1 080 Save R12 (10%) Ships in 5 - 10 working days

HarperCollins is proud to present its new range of best-loved, essential classics. 'We are in Transylvania; and Transylvania is not England. Our ways are not your ways, and there shall be to you many strange things.' Earnest and naive solicitor Jonathan Harker travels to Transylvania to organise the estate of the infamous Count Dracula at his crumbling castle in the ominous Carpathian Mountains. Through notes and diary entries, Harker keeps track of the horrors and terrors that beset him at the castle, telling his fiance Mina of the Count's supernatural powers and his own imprisonment. Although Harker eventually manages to escape and reunite with Mina, his experiences have led to a mental breakdown of sorts. Meanwhile in England, Mina's friend Lucy has been bitten and begins to turn into a vampire. With the help of Professor Van Helsing, a previous suitor of Lucy's, Seward, and Lucy's fiance Holmwood attempt to thwart Count Dracula and his attempts on Lucy and consequently Mina's life. Arguably the most enduring Gothic novel of the 19th Century, Bram Stoker's Dracula is as chilling today in its depiction of the vampire world and its exploration of Victorian values as it was at its time of publication.

Akademiese geletterdheid is noodsaaklik vir akademiese prestasie. Daar word van studente verwag om ’n verskeidenheid akademiese tekste met begrip te lees. Studente moet ook hulle eie argumente kan konstrueer en hulle kritiese denkvermoë in die vorm van ’n akademiese teks aan ’n leser illustreer. Akademiese geletterdheid beteken dat studente as onafhanklike akademiese skrywers kan funksioneer wat navorsing op ’n gestruktureerde, goed geformuleerde en logiese wyse kan weergee.

In hierdie handboek word studente nie net toegerus met kennis en vaardighede om die genre van akademiese skryfwerk te begryp nie; die samestelling van die boek kan ook meehelp dat studente onafhanklike beoefenaars van hierdie genre word.

Studente word begelei om:

  • die skryf van akademiese tekste op ’n sistematiese wyse te benader;
  • opdragte te ontleed en te beplan;
  • relevante vakinhoud in te samel;
  • vakinhoud met begrip te lees;
  • navorsing, kennis en afleidings op ’n gestruktureerde wyse in goed geformuleerde taal weer te gee sodat dit ’n samehangende geheel vorm; en
  • terugvoer op akademiese tekste te verwerk ten einde as akademiese skrywers te groei.

Die skrywers vertrou dat studente en dosente hierdie handboek as ’n nuttige hulpbron sal gebruik om akademiese geletterdheid te bevorder.

In The Great Gatsby Fitzgerald brilliantly captures both the disillusion of post-war America and the moral failure of a society obsessed with wealth and status. But he does more than render the essence of a particular time and place, for in chronicling Gatsby's tragic pursuit of his dream, Fitzgerald recreates the universal conflict between illusion and reality.

R553 Discovery Miles 5 530 Ships in 5 - 10 working days

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.

Hoe hy ontvang is by doeane en padblokkades en deur gewone mense; wat Radio Moskou na Afrika uitsaai en wat die media in Zimbabwe van Suid-Afrika se; hoe wild en ongerep wildtuine noord van die Limpopo nog is, hoe gevaarlik gebiede waar die gewapende onrus is. Zambezi is 'n interessante tydsdokument, onderhoudend geskryf en aangevul met foto's wat die skrywer self geneem het.

Wat het 'n mooi Afrikanervrou in die 1950's gedoen as die lewe begin druk? As haar man 'n verbitterde Ben Schoeman-man is wat moet aansukkel met 'n asmapompie en haar pa 'n kommunis en Katoliek agter elke bos raaksien? As die enigste afleiding die jaarlikse ATKV-konsert op Hartenbos is? Veral as haar doodgoeie bure skielik aangese word om te trek? Deur die oe van 'n kind vertel Jeanne Goosen hoe Doris van Greunen van die wereld probeer ontsnap: in die bioskoop, met haar Cavallas, met vriende soos Ant Mavis, Uncle Tank – en met Barnie, die swank.

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.

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.

'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.

Die Lenige Liefde (Afrikaans, Paperback): Daniel Hugo Die Lenige Liefde (Afrikaans, Paperback)

Die liefde, natuur en digterskap is die oorwegende temas van die bundel en elk word vanuit ’n wye spektrum perspektiewe bekyk. Herman de Coninck se werk spreek van innoverende beeldspraak, totaal gestroop van pretensie – en Daniel Hugo slaag daarin om in sy vertalings die unieke karakter van De Coninck se werk te behou. Herman de Coninck het die Afrikaanse en Suid-Afrikaanse leser se verbeelding aangegryp met Liefde, Miskien (vertaal deur Daniel Hugo) in 1998. Die lenige liefde, ’n bloemlesing uit al De Coninck se werke, sal weereens die leser betower. Meer toeganklike poesie kom ’n mens nie aldag tee nie. De Coninck se werk spreek van innoverende beeldspraak waarvan die gebrek aan pretensie die leser maak lees, luister en onthou.

Tikkop is 'n roman oor verraad, maar ook oor vriendskap en die liefde vir 'n taal en 'n land. Die Nederlander, Mulder, en die Suid-Afrikaner, Donald, hernu hulle weer hul vriendskap en verken weer hulle gevoelens van weleer: daar is 'n gedeelde liefde, vriende wat verraai is en ideale wat verloen is. Mulder, wat in Parys woon, besluit om in die Kaap te kom bly, terwyl Donald sy stryd voortsit in 'n verstikkende klein vissersdorpie. Die plaaslike bevolking voel verraai: hulle visregte is opgeskort deur korrupte leiers, daar is geen werk nie en hul kinders ontvlug deur TIK te gebruik. Die twee manne ontferm hulle dan oor 'n talentvolle verslaafde seun aan wie hulle 'n nuwe toekoms wil bied - mits die knaap die TIK kan oorwin.

Hierdie roman speel af in 'n spoorwegkampgemeenskap in Durban in die sestigerjare. Die verteller is jong Timus, en saam met hom beleef ons sy inisiasie-prosesse in 'n grootmenswereld, en sy waarnemings van die mense en lewe rondom hom. Timus is deel van 'n groot gesin wat dit nie breed het nie en waar die pa se beheptheid met die kerk ontstellende gevolge het. As jongste in die gesin is hy toegespin in sy eie droomwereld en ook agter by sy portuurs oor die soet en duister dinge van die lewe. Hy het 'n sterk verbeelding en sy weergawe van insidente verleen 'n magies-realistiese gevoel aan die gebeure in die roman. Die fyn waarneming van menswees, die patos en humor wat mekaar afwissel, die menslikheid van hierdie roman – by tye brutaal-realisties, maar ook hartverwarmend – sal geen leser onaangeraak laat nie.

Zinzi has a talent for finding lost things. To save herself, she has to find the hardest thing of all... the truth. Zinzi has a Sloth on her back, a dirty 419 scam habit and a talent for finding lost things. But when a client turns up dead and the cops confiscate her last paycheck, she's forced to take on her least favourite kind of job - missing persons. Being hired by famously reclusive music producer Odi Huron to find a teenybop pop star should be her ticket out of Zoo City, the festering slum where the criminal underclass, marked by their animals, live in the shadow of the undertow. Instead, it catapults Zinzi deeper into the underbelly of a city twisted by crime and magic, where she'll be forced to confront the dark secrets of former lives - including her own. Set in a wildly re-imagined Johannesburg, it swirls refugees, crime, the music industry, African magic and the nature of sin together into a heady brew.
