Adamo is the greatest composer of musicals ever but despite intensive investigations, his/her identity remains unknown. Royalties of more than a billion pounds have amassed over the years. Adamo composes a final musical about the world's youth in revolt and promises to reveal his/her identity. The world's youth identify with the musical "One for a heartbeat, One for Eternity", and from countries far and wide they petition the United Nations for a symbolic holding of hands despite ideological differences. The Adamo enigma is the catalyst for people from diverse backgrounds, from the very cradle of humankind in faraway Swaziland to the sophisticated Western cultures, to be drawn into the fascinating intrigue. Inextricably Merri Fencham from South Africa, Pierre Villeyand - the scion of a French dynasty and famous conductor, sangoma Vusi Dlamini - a Swazi royal prince, and others are drawn into the web of intrigue. And overall, the ancient influences of the ancestors, the "Toothless Ones", confound Western stereotypes.... The drive of destiny cannot be denied as the ancient wisdom of Africa and modern technology meld into an awe-inspiring finale at the Royal Albert Theatre.
Klein dorpies is elkeen uniek met sy eie karakter en dinge. Vanweë die klein gemeenskappe word mense in dieselfde smeltkroes gegooi; hetsy na gelang van kulturele afkoms of ras, verskillende godsdienste of oortuigings. Om te oorleef moes hulle die lewe se uitdagings so goed moontlik saam met mekaar aanpak, en so ontwikkel ’n algemene soort kultuur deur die jare heen; baie prakties, sonder onnodige nonsies en met baie humor. Plattelandsemense aarsel nie om dinge te sê soos dit is nie; dikwels in plat taalgebruik wat vir ander miskien stuitig mag wees of selfs aanstoot sal gee. Die skrywer is ’n gebore en getoë “boytjie” van die platteland wat nie kan verhelp om met sy tong in die kies te skryf en te skets nie. ʼn Groot knippie sout is gewis nodig. Lag of huil gerus lekker saam!
This book is a collection of writings and poems, illustrated here and there with Talbot Cox's 'plein air' sketches, caricatures of famous personalities, and paintings. They are flights of fantasy with much based on fact. 'It has taken me a lifetime to paint like a child again.' Talbot Cox's delightful book Barkings in Schoenies will capture the hearts of discerning readers to whom Pablo Picasso's quote appeals; those who wonder and believe like a child - unconditionally and with an imagination free of societal shackles.
