In her provocative debut, Carmen Maria Machado demolishes the borders between magical realism and science fiction, comedy and horror, fantasy and fabulism.
A wife refuses her husband's entreaties to remove the mysterious green ribbon from around her neck. A woman recounts her sexual encounters as a plague spreads across the earth. A salesclerk in a mall makes a horrifying discovery about a store's dresses. One woman's surgery-induced weight loss results in an unwanted house guest.
A dark, shimmering slice into womanhood, Her Body and Other Parties is wicked and exquisite.
A global phenomenon, The Alchemist has been read and loved by over 62 million readers, topping bestseller lists in 74 countries worldwide. Now this magical fable is beautifully repackaged in an edition that lovers of Paulo Coelho will want to treasure forever.
A special deluxe edition of the extraordinary and beloved international bestseller.
Every few decades a book is published that changes the lives of its readers forever. This is such a book – a beautiful parable about learning to listen to your heart, read the omens strewn along life’s path and, above all, follow your dreams. The Alchemist has become a modern classic.
Santiago, a young shepherd living in the hills of Andalucia, feels that there is more to life than his humble home and his flock. One day he finds the courage to follow his dreams into distant lands, each step galvanised by the knowledge that he is following the right path: his own. The people he meets along the way, the things he sees and the wisdom he learns are life-changing.
With Paulo Coelho’s visionary blend of spirituality, magical realism and folklore, The Alchemist is a story with the power to inspire nations and change people’s lives.
Met Daar Doer in Duitswes roep Helm Jooste vervloe dae met
nostalgie en humor in herinnering. Hy vertel met selfspot van sy
eie ervarings in onder andere die ou Suidwes: vertellings wat jou
terselfdertyd laat lag en met heimwee en deernis vul. Kom dans op
maat van die Rooiduin Orkes tot rooidag; skater en bloos oor die
lywige Ant Maryntjie en die tandlose Toks – en droom saam met ’n
bobaasverteller oor die “se nou maars” en verspeelde kanse in
Jessica se blou oe.
