Romeo and Juliet is the world's most famous drama of tragic young
love. Defying the feud which divides their families, Romeo and
Juliet enjoy the fleeting rapture of courtship, marriage and sexual
fulfilment; but a combination of old animosities and new
coincidences brings them to suicidal deaths. This play offers a
rich mixture of romantic lyricism, bawdy comedy, intimate harmony
and sudden violence. Long successful in the theatre, it has also
generated numerous operas, ballets and films; and these have helped
to make Romeo and Juliet perennially topical.
Teaching Christianity is the most original book Augustine ever
wrote. It is not so much a treatise or scholarly work but an
instruction manual on how to teach Christianity. He wrote this how
to book for those who would be preaching and explaining
Christianity. It is entirely based on the bible and helps the
reader express its truths of faith with soundproof methodology. It
is a book that will help readers to communicate their message in a
clear and effective way. Edmund Hills new translation of Augustines
treatise On Christian Doctrine is superb. His early and mature
thought on how to understand scripture and how to communicate that
understanding to others is set forth clearly and attractively. The
translator has shown great discernment in his choice of words and
in their placement. This makes for a smooth reading. Extremely
valuable are the scholarly endnotes provided after each of the four
books. The new title chosen by Edmund Hill, namely, Teaching
Christianity indicates that Augustine is here instructing the
African clergy, probably the bishops, how to preach effectively to
their congregations. The treatise is not focused on doctrine. Sr.

onsimpatieke dokters, die monotomie van seks wat gemonitor word,
die aftakeling van ‘n man en vrou wat gereduseer word tot hul

Piet van Rooyen bring met hierdie werk twee van sy groot liefdes
bymekaar: perdry en lees. Die gedigte in hierdie bundel, telkens
gebaseer op tekste uit die wereldletterkunde waarin perde prominent
figureer, word uiteindelik klein kamees van uiteenlopende eras,
samelewings en ruimtes.
