Zia is nou net mooi moeg vir haar ouers se selfopgelegde isolasie en
die primitiewe lewe in die bos. Sy verlang terug na die Kolonie waaruit
haar ouers gevlug het toe sy klein was; verlang na ’n geboude woonstel,
luukshede soos warm water en elektrisiteit, klere wat pas en
winkelbrood; die gedruis van mense, ánder mense as dieselfde dertien
gesigte waarin sy dag-in, dag-uit vaskyk... Dan word Zia se boetie
beseer en hulle het medisyne nodig wat net in die Kolonie gevind kan
word – agter die hoë, geëlektrifiseerde heinings. Dis haar kans om
terug te gaan en self die waarheid te gaan soek. Gaan die antwoorde wat
sy kry wees wat sy wil hê … of wag daar ’n ver donkerder noodlot op
haar?
Vokabeln und Formen sind das A und O des Lateinunterrichts. Der "Thesaurus Latinus" bietet eine breite, solide und in langjahriger Praxis bewahrte Basis fer die Sicherung und Erweiterung der Sprachkompetenzen:- 3350 Vokabeln des Grund- und Aufbauwortschatzes,- 750 weitere Angaben zu speziellen Kasus- und Wortverbindungen,- eigene Eintrage fer berechtigte Stolpersteine wie "se" oder "eius",- Sortierung der Vokabeln nicht nach Wort- oder Sachfeldern, sondern nach Alphabet, dadurch kein umstandliches Hin- und Herblattern,- kritisch eberprefte Bezeichnung der Vokalquantitaten und zahlreiche Angaben zur korrekten Aussprache des Lateinischen,- vollstandige und zugleich ebersichtliche Tabellen zur Formenlehre,- passend zu den neuen Kerncurricula und zu G 8.Der "Thesaurus Latinus" ist eine optimale Erganzung zu allen gangigen Schulausgaben lateinischer Texte: Was dort nicht als Lesevokabel oder in einer Spezialbedeutung angegeben ist, wird man hier finden, und zwar deutlich schneller als in einer systematischen Wortkunde oder in einem Schulwoerterbuch. Die Prasentation der lateinischen Vokabeln und ihrer deutschen Bedeutungen unterliegt keinem akademischen Systemzwang, sondern nimmt immer diejenige Gestalt an, die von Schelern am leichtesten zu verstehen und umzusetzen ist. In fenf vollstandigen Durchgangen von Klasse 8 bis 13 wurde das Manuskript immer wieder von Schelern mehrerer niedersachsischer Gymnasien verbessert, bevor es in den Druck ging. Ein in mancher Hinsicht durchaus unkonventionelles Buch mit einem sehr hohen praktischen Nutzen - von der Anfangslektere bis zum Abitur!

About the author, Alan Paton: Born in Pietermaritzburg in 1903, Alan Paton attended Pietermaritzburg College and then studied science at the University of Natal. He graduated in 1922 and obtained his teaching certificate in 1923. In 1925, he went to teach at a school in Ixopo attended by black children. In 1928, he took a post at Pietermaritzburg College, a prestigious, whites-only boys' school, where he taught for seven years. He started writing poetry and novels, but was critical of his novel-writing efforts and destroyed these early stories. In 1935, he became principal of Diepkloof Reformatory. Here, he instituted a number of reforms and the reformatory succeeded in rehabilitating juvenile criminals into society. He felt that with greater freedom in the way the reformatory was run, the boys would be better adapted to life outside the reformatory when released. At the start of the Second World War, Paton wanted to join the army, but was asked to stay on at the reformatory instead. After the war, while travelling to study prisons and reform schools elsewhere in the world, Paton had the idea for his novel Cry, the Beloved Country, which he wrote most of while travelling abroad. Paton was convinced that young urban black people drifted into crime because of a lack of opportunities to make a living and as a result of broken families and tribes around the country. This lack of stability of home and culture left the young without an anchor, and the unfair laws of the time inhibited them from finding an honest way to make a living. In creating his characters for Cry, the Beloved Country, Paton drew on three major schools of thought at that time: There was a desire by white people to keep the black people in their place.; There was an opposite desire among black activists to demand equality more and more violently; and There was the attitude of "brotherly love" as embodied by the Christian churches predominant at that time. As a devout Christian, Paton seemed to conclude in his novel that having an attitude of brotherly love offers the only hope for the future, but this idea was fiercely opposed. Although Paton wrote this novel in 1946, the themes and issues he explores are still interesting and relevant now.

Dis die onstuimige tagtigerjare. Bethel Hendrix, haar broers en hulle
ma reis deur die land in 'n Kombi. Hulle leef 'n nomadiese bestaan en
bly net vir 'n kort ruk in een dorp voor hulle na 'n volgende beweeg.
Om die gesin aan die lewe te hou, verkoop Bethel se ma vetkoek. Maar
oral waar hulle kom, is dit duidelik dat die gesin anders is. Dat hulle
arm is. Dat hulle nie in 'n regte huis bly nie. Dat hulle ma anders lyk
en dink. Dat daar nie 'n pa saam met hulle is nie. Al wat Bethel graag
wil hê is 'n plek waar sy haarself kan wees.

Hierdie gids is spesifiek geskryf vir leerders wat Afrikaans as
Addisionele Taal op skool studeer. (Van der Vyver se roman is wel
geskik vir 'n Afrikaans Huistaal-klas en kan met vrug deur onderwysers
en leerders bestudeer word.) Die gids bevat inligting en aktiwiteite
wat as hulpmiddel vir die onderwyser dien. Die daaropvolgende vrae en
woordeskat sal die inhoud meer toeganklik vir veral die
nie-moedertaalspreker maak. Die gids is so gebruikersvriendelik as
moontlik uiteengesit om die onderrigproses te vergemaklik. Onderwysers
sal gevolglik in staat wees om 'n omvattende uiteensetting van
belangrike literêre aspekte in die roman vooraf aan die leerders te
verduidelik wat as inleiding tot die roman sal dien. Vrae word per
hoofstuk gevra met relevante woordeskat om leerders in staat te stel om
die narratief beter te verstaan, maar ook hul eie Afrikaanse woordeskat
in die proses uit te brei.
