Roman (Afrikaans, Paperback): Cas Wepener Roman (Afrikaans, Paperback)
Cas Wepener
R282 Discovery Miles 2 820 Ships in 4 - 8 working days

Die “roman” in die titel verwys na ’n spinnekop of baardskeerder, wat die teenwoordigheid van onheil, boosheid en gevaar verteenwoordig.

Die Klein Karoo se berugte reeksmoordenaar, Gert Bloubaard Swanepoel het in die 1800’s op die spogplaas Rietfontein in die Attaquas tussen Oudtshoorn en Calitzdorp geboer. Swanepoel se pa was ’n siener wat glo met ’n halwe helm gebore is. Hy het groot onheil gesien voor Gert se geboorte. Sy ma was ’n wrede, ongenaakbare en sadistiese mens wat plaaswerkers se kinders se mangels uitgeskep het met ’n rooiwarm teelepel, sonder enige verdowing.

Danie Gouws, akademikus van Stellenbosch, vertoef in die Klein Karoo om navorsing te doen oor kulturele gebruike en erfgoed. Waarin hy hom egter vasloop, is die spook van Gert Swanepoel: “Wat Danie Gouws nog nie weet nie, is dat Gert hom gister al sien aankom het toe hy in die pas oor die Gamka gery het.”

Want, in die woorde van die oplettende, diepsinnige petroljoggie Willem Marsman: “As jy klippers in dié deel van die węreld omrol, dan hardloop daar sommer gou gevaarlike goete soos skerpioene oor die vlaktes of ’n romans wat jou jaag om in jou skaduwee te kom”.

Kan ’n mens oorlewering glo? Wie was Gert – voorslagboer, veedief, geweldenaar, moordenaar, minaar? Dit hang af met wie ’n mens gesels, want stories is plooibaar.

In Gode van Papier poog die digter om gestalte te gee aan die moderne mens se gode: gode (ook buite die tradisionele sin van die woord) met voete van klei wat op hul plek gesit en gehou word.

Hoewel die woord "gode" dikwels in die bundel gebruik word, dui dit baie keer nie op gode in die tradisionele sin van die woord nie.

Allerlei dinge, tot die gedigte self, word gode in hierdie bundel.

Forbidden Notebook: Alba de CĂŠspedes Forbidden Notebook
Alba de CĂŠspedes; Translated by Ann Goldstein
R247 Discovery Miles 2 470 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Out running an errand, Valeria Cossati gives in to a sudden impulse - she buys a shiny black notebook. She starts keeping a diary in secret, recording her concerns about her daughter, the constant churn of the domestic routine and her fears that her husband will discover her new habit. With each entry Valeria plunges deeper into her interior life, uncovering profound dissatisfaction and restlessness. As she finds her own voice, the roles that have come to define her-as wife, as mother, as daughter-begin to break apart. Forbidden Notebook is a rediscovered jewel of Italian literature, published here in a new translation by the celebrated Ann Goldstein and with a foreword by Jhumpa Lahiri. A captivating feminist classic, it is an intimate, haunting story of domestic discontent in postwar Rome, and of one woman's awakening to her true thoughts and desires.

Die Slaghuis (Afrikaans, Paperback): Cas Wepener Die Slaghuis (Afrikaans, Paperback)
Cas Wepener
R206 Discovery Miles 2 060 Ships in 4 - 8 working days

Die Slaghuis van Cas Wepener speel byna uitsluitlik in ’n enkele huis in ’n fiktiewe plattelandse dorpie in die Noordkaap af, met verhaalgebeure wat oor vier dekades strek. Hier woon Marietta en haar man, Karel, in 1997. Karel is ’n afgetrede oudbrigadier in die Suid-Afrikaanse polisiediens, verantwoordelik vir die dood van duisende sg. “terroriste” in die Vlakplaas-debakel.

Hy weier egter om aansoek te doen vir amnestie en kruip letterlik op dié dorp weg. Dit is hier waar verteller Marietta betekenis soek en terselfdertyd sin probeer maak van die skuldlas van haar man en haar eie geheimsinnige verlede. Op die dorp is daar ’n legendariese slaghuis waar Marietta byna elke dag vleisaankope maak en waar die jong meisie Kylie se pa as slagter werk.

Kylie se verhaal word hoofsaaklik in 2017 vertel waar sy dieselfde huis huur waar Marietta en Karel in 1997 gewoon het en besig is, aan die een kant met die verwerking van haar pa se sondes en, aan die ander kant met die opvoeding van haar vet seun. Haar pa was nie net die slagter op die dorp nie, maar verantwoordelik vir die afmaaiing van ’n hele paar mense in die apartheidsera Ź– gebeure van 1977 wat mettertyd in die vorm van terugflitse vorm aanneem en aan dieselfde huis verbind word.

Die roman Die Slaghuis is van vleisbeelde aanmekaargesit. Verwysings na alles van braaivleis tot tong, viennas, potjiekos, afval en “peertjies” (lamstestikels) snoer die roman saam tot geheel en funksioneer as element waardeur spanning geleidelik opgebou word. Die roman draai beslis nie doekies om oor skuld en skuldelas van die apartheidsverlede nie en skakel dit telkens met ’n beheptheid na vleis.

Johanna (Afrikaans, Paperback): Cas Wepener Johanna (Afrikaans, Paperback)
Cas Wepener 1
R210 Discovery Miles 2 100 Ships in 4 - 8 working days

Johanna van Cas Wepener is ’n roman oor die dood van ’n vrou, Johanna, en haar impak op die mense rondom haar se lewens. Johanna is lesbies in ’n tyd waar dit in die George waar sy grootword en meeste van haar lewe woon, nie sosiaal aanvaarbaar is nie. Die verhaal word geskryf vanuit verskillende perspektiewe: Vanuit haar geliefde Muriel se oogpunt, haar wyse bediende Nonna, haar suster, haar dominee en haar susterskind Willie. Hulle almal probeer haar dood verwerk en sin maak van sekere dramatiese gebeurtenisse in haar lewe as klein dogtertjie. Johanna is ’n aangrypende roman oor die impak van ’n lewe binne ’n sekere milieu en kultuur. Dit getuig van goeie vakmanskap en ’n fyn aanvoeling vir menseverhoudinge, omgewing en atmosfeer.

R220 Discovery Miles 2 200 Ships in 4 - 8 working days

Dekades lank het Peet van Jaarsveld sy bokplaas Syferfontein in die Karoo met 'n ysterhand bestuur. Na die afsterwe van sy eggenoot leef hy in toenemende isolasie van sy kinders en die gemeenskap en probeer homself probeer oortuig dat sy dade en ongenaakbare houding teenoor ander verantwoord is.

Tydens Geloftenaweek in 1960 gebeur daar enkele dinge op sy plaas wat sy ouderdom, eiesinnigheid en verval onder die vergrootglas plaas. Syferfontein is die noukeurige en vaardige bestekopname van die herinneringe, denke en drome van ’n bejaarde man en vertel die verhaal van die uiteindelike ondergang van ’n patriargale Afrikaner oor die tydsverloop van 'n enkele naweek.

In hierdie tragedie waarin Peet van Jaarsveld van sy verlede rekenskap neem, wys outeur Cas Wepener ons 'n wereld en 'n denkwyse wat op makabere manier sowel vertroud as vreemd is.

Her Side of the Story: Alba de CĂŠspedes Her Side of the Story
Alba de CĂŠspedes
R502 Discovery Miles 5 020 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Looking back over her life, Alessandra Corteggiani recalls her youth during the rise of fascism in 1930s Rome. A sensitive child, she was always alert to the loneliness and dissatisfaction of her mother and the other women in their crowded apartment block. Observing how their lives were weighed down by housework and the longing for romance, she became determined to seek another future for herself. This conviction will lead her to rebel against the expectations of her family, rail against the unjust treatment of women and seek to build a life with an anti-fascist professor. As her independence grows, so too does resistance against it - even from those closest to her. Set against the dramatic backdrop of the partisan struggle in the Second World War, Her Side of the Story is a profound, devastating story of one woman's determination to carve her own path.
