Can friendship survive in a divided world? Written on the eve of the
Holocaust as a series of letters between a Jew in America and his
German friend, Kressmann Taylor's classic novel is a haunting tale of a
society poisoned by Nazism.
First published in 1938, Address Unknown met with immediate success in
English but was banned in Europe by the Nazis. Tragically prescient
about what was to come, it was one of the earliest works of fiction to
warn against the growing dangers of fascism and antisemitism in Europe.
It became an international bestseller and has been translated into more
than twenty languages.
A novel of enduring impact with a memorable sting in its tail, Address
Unknown stands as a powerful reminder of the dangers posed by the
rhetoric of intolerance.
This stunning paperback box set includes all three books in Suzanne Collins's internationally bestselling Hunger Games trilogy together with The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes.
In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by twelve outlying districts. The Capitol keeps the districts in line by forcing them all to send one boy and one girl between the ages of twelve and eighteen to participate in the annual Hunger Games, a fight to the death on live TV... And the odds are against all who play.
With all four of Suzanne Collins's Hunger Games novels in one box set, you can step into the world of Panem and continue all the way to the electrifying conclusion.

Kort voor sy dood in die 1980’s gee Stefan Hertmans se oupa aan sy
kleinseun ’n paar volgeskrewe ou dagboekies. Jare lank durf
Hertmans dit nie oopmaak en lees nie – tot op ’n dag dat hy dit wel
doen en meer as een geheim daarin ontdek. Hy lees van sy oupa se
armoedige kinderjare in Gent voor 1900, van sy gruwelike ervarings
as frontsoldaat in die Eerste Wereldoorlog en ’n vroeg gestorwe
groot liefde. Na die oorlog sit sy oupa sy lewe voort deur sy
verdriet te probeer wegskilder. Stefan Hertmans se jare lange
fassinasie met sy oupa se lewe bring hom uiteindelik tot die skryf
van hierdie roman.
