Anderkant omdraai is 'n versameling van Jan van Tonder se rubrieke
wat in Rapport Tydskrif verskyn het. Kort-kortverhale, essays,
sketse en anekdotes wissel mekaar af en bied 'n vermaaklike
leeservaring. Die leser van die rubrieke kan verwag om te lag en om
geroer te word. Van Tonder skryf oortuigend oor die nostalgie van
vroeer, en jukstaponeer dit met aktuele sake van vandag. Van Tonder
slaag weereens daarin om lewenswaarhede op 'n ongeforseerde en
verrassende vars manier oor te dra.
To gain the power he needs to save his friend from a cursed spirit,
Yuji Itadori swallows a piece of a demon, only to find himself
caught in the midst of a horrific war of the supernatural! In a
world where cursed spirits feed on unsuspecting humans, fragments
of the legendary and feared demon Ryomen Sukuna have been lost and
scattered about. Should any demon consume Sukuna's body parts, the
power they gain could destroy the world as we know it. Fortunately,
there exists a mysterious school of jujutsu sorcerers who exist to
protect the precarious existence of the living from the
supernatural! Everyone's surprised (and not necessarily in a good
way) when they find out Itadori is still alive, but there's no time
for a heartwarming reunion when Jujutsu High is in the midst of an
intense competition with their rivals from Kyoto! But good
sportsmanship doesn't seem to be in the cards once the authorities
decide to eliminate the Sukuna threat once and for all...
From Ryoko Kui, author of Delicious in Dungeon, comes a lush
compilation of artwork drawn over the course of the hit series’
creation! Featuring hundreds of pages of comics, sketches, and full
color illustrations, this gorgeous collection will help you discover
new sides to your favorite characters as they’re depicted in situations
you’ve never seen before!
A gorgeous new pocket-sized special edition bound in real cloth with
sprayed edges and a ribbon marker to celebrate the 250th anniversary of
Jane Austen’s birth in 2025. The designs are inspired by Jane Austen’s
life and work.
With psychological insight and sparkling wit, Jane Austen paints an
irresistibly lifelike portrait of shifting values and split loyalties
in Mansfield Park.
Aged ten, Fanny Price is sent to live with her wealthier relations, the
Bertrams, at Mansfield Park. However, life there is not as she
imagined. Treated with disdain by three of her cousins, she finds her
only comfort in the kindness of the fourth, Edmund. As they grow, their
friendship develops into romantic love - until the arrival of Henry
Crawford and his charming sister Mary causes an emotional upheaval that
no one in the family expects.
With original illustrations by the celebrated Hugh Thomson and bonus
material about the design.
