Brazzaville Beach (Paperback): William Boyd Brazzaville Beach (Paperback)

In the heart of a civil war-torn African nation, primate researcher Hope Clearwater made a shocking discovery about apes and man. . . .

Young, alone, and far from her family in Britain, Hope Clearwater contemplates the extraordinary events that left her washed up like driftwood on Brazzaville Beach. It is here, on the distant, lonely outskirts of Africa, where she must come to terms with the perplexing and troubling circumstances of her recent past. For Hope is a survivor of the devastating cruelties of apes and humans alike. And to move forward, she must first grasp some hard and elusive truths: about marriage and madness, about the greed and savagery of charlatan science, and about what compels seemingly benign creatures to kill for pleasure alone.

Amalie Smith; Translated by Jennifer Russell
R404 R330 Discovery Miles 3 300 Save R74 (18%) Ships in 9 - 15 working days

An artist in her thirties weaves and unravels connections between the loom and the computer, DNA and technology, dreams and decisions Thread Ripper is a multi-strand novel about weaving, women, and programming. In Copenhagen, a tapestry-weaver embarks on her first big commission, a digitally woven tapestry. As she works, she draws illuminating connections between all the stuff that life is made from - DNA, plant tissue, algorithms, text and textile - and that which disrupts it - radiation, pests, entropy and doubt. In another strand, we follow Ada Lovelace, the 1830s mathematician and pioneer of computer programming. And Penelope, the faithful wife of Odysseus, who wove and unpicked a shroud to put off her 108 suitors. Contemplative yet clear-sighted, Amalie Smith's hybrid textile of a novel bares the aching but crucial interwovenness of art and life.

Tian Killian se ouers is voor sy oë vermoor, die aand van die vuurwerke op Slootplaas. Nou reis hy, Amsterdam toe en na Kowloon, oral op die spoor van Charlie Oeng, oftewel Koekepan, oftewel Gelatenheid, oftewel Sjinees. Eens op ’n tyd ’n onbeduidende Hollywood-ekstra, maar ’n hoofrolspeler in Tian se wêreld. Hoe harder Tian probeer om die pyn wat hom sedert sy jeug vergesel, te verstaan, hoe tergender word die vraag: Waar eindig die Sjinees se skuld en waar begin sy éie aanspreeklikheid?

’n Ryke verskeidenheid karakters bevolk dié ambisieuse verhaal, van die Sjinese matriarg Ouma Voetjies in Amsterdam tot die blinde siener Ouma Ogies in die Oos-Kaap, van Cor van Gogh, hy met die kleinood in die koker, tot die enigmatiese, naamlose “Sy” . . .

Die wêreld van Charlie Oeng staan in die tradisie van breedopgesette vertellings met veelvuldige verhaallyne en uitgebreide agtergrondbeskrywings. Feit en verdigsel is sjarmant verweef in hierdie verbluffende roman.

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.
