My love for him felt so total and so annihilating that it was often impossible for me to see him clearly at all.
Years ago, Sukie moved in with Nathan because her mother was dead and her father was difficult, and she had nowhere else to go. Now they are on the brink of the inevitable.
Sally Rooney is one of the most acclaimed young talents of recent years. With her minute attention to the power dynamics in everyday speech, she builds up sexual tension and throws a deceptively low-key glance at love and death.
Hierdie rubrieke is liries, evokatief, diep menslik, met humor en ʼn plattelandse ambience. Petro skryf sedert 2012 vir Die Burger rubrieke en was voltyds vir vier jaar lank die Dinsdag-rubriekskrywer vir Beeld.
Verskeie van haar artikels is in Rapport Weekliks en Huisgenoot gepubliseer. Sy word in 2019 deur die Cordus-trust vereer met die Orde van die Beiteltjie van die Afrikaanse Woordkunsakademie vir “haar besondere bydrae tot Afrikaans met unieke onderwerpe waarmee sy die kuns vervolmaak het om sinvol te skryf oor die mens en alledaagse stories van die gewone lewe.”
Die nuwe Afrikaanse prosaboek is ’n viering van verskeidenheid. Dit bied ’n verruimende, vars blik op die Afrikaanse kortverhaal met sowel klassieke verhale deur welbekende skrywers asook voorheen ongepubliseerde verhale deur nuwe stemme. Jan Rabie, wat in die laat-1950’s die kontoere van die literêre landskap verlê het met sy soms absurde, soms filosofiese, soms politieke “prosas”, dien as inspirasie.
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! Hunted down by Okkotsu and on the brink of death, Itadori recalls a troubling family scene from his past. But why is the former form of Noritoshi Kamo there? As the sorcerers begin to take action toward suppressing the lethal culling game, Maki pays the Zen’in clan a visit…
After a disastrous defeat at the 2018 World Cup, Japan's team struggles
to regroup. But what's missing? An absolute Ace Striker, who can guide
them to the win. The Japan Football Union is hell-bent on creating a
striker who hungers for goals and thirsts for victory, and who can be
the decisive instrument in turning around a losing match...and to do
so, they've gathered 300 of Japan's best and brightest youth players.
Who will emerge to lead the team... and will they be able to out-muscle
and out-ego everyone who stands in their way? After Sae Itoshi and
Ryusei Shidou enter their "flow" and lead the U-20 representatives in a
ferocious attack, Blue Lock plays their trump card: swapping in Barou.
The match quickly goes beyond all planning and strategies, as both
sides expend their utmost energy trying to surpass their limits in the
"flow" state. Will Isagi and the rest of Blue Lock be the ones to open
the door to a new era of Japanese soccer?!"
Feared and hated for his sinister abilities, Wei Wuxian - the
grandmaster of demonic cultivation - was driven to his death when the
most powerful clans united to destroy him. Thirteen years later, Wei
Wuxian is reborn. Summoned by a young man who sacrificed his soul in a
forbidden ritual, Wei Wuxian is now bound to seek vengeance on the
stranger’s behalf or risk the destruction of his own soul. But when an
evil entity emerges, a familiar face from Wei Wuxian’s past suddenly
appears amidst the chaos - Lan Wangji, a powerful cultivator who will
help shine a light on the dark truths that surround them.
