Ver in die wêreld is 23 stories oor die lewe in die buiteland. Sommige van die vertellings is suiwer fiksie en ander is intiem persoonlike ervarings. Dis verhale oor die verlies aan die bekende, die verlange huis toe, maar ook oor die aanpassing in die verre vreemde wat dikwels met ’n goeie skoot humor gepaard gaan.
Skop jou skoene uit, sit agteroor en laat jou wegvoer na Engeland, Nieu-Seeland, Australië, Kanada, of na een van die ander plekke waar Suid-Afrikaners nesgeskrop het.
Most people don’t even notice them—three tiny figures sitting at the
end of a long pier in the corner of one of the most famous paintings in
the world. Most people think it’s just a depiction of the sea. But
Louisa, an aspiring artist herself, knows otherwise, and she is
determined to find out the story of these three enigmatic figures.
Twenty-five years earlier, in a distant seaside town, a group of
teenagers find refuge from their bruising home lives by spending long
summer days on an abandoned pier, telling silly jokes, sharing secrets,
and committing small acts of rebellion. These lost souls find in each
other a reason to get up each morning, a reason to dream, a reason to
love.
Out of that summer emerges a transcendent work of art, a painting that
will unexpectedly be placed into eighteen-year-old Louisa’s care. She
embarks on a surprise-filled cross-country journey to learn how the
painting came to be and to decide what to do with it. The closer she
gets to the painting’s birthplace, the more nervous she becomes about
what she’ll find. Louisa is proof that happy endings don’t always take
the form we expect in this stunning testament to the transformative,
timeless power of friendship and art.
Hermans is aangewys as Nederland se grootste skrywer van die 20ste eeu. Nooit Meer Slaap Nie is een van sy beroemdste romans en steeds ‘n treffer.
Dit gaan om ‘n student se spannende en selfs lewensgevaarlike navorsingstog in die nagenoeg onbewoonde Finnmark, die noordelikste gebied van Noorweë. Hy slaag mettertyd daarin om die vernaamste fisieke struikelblokke te oorwin, maar die noodlot en ironie bly op sy spoor.
Die boek neem die leser na een van die onherbergsaamste gebiede op aarde asook na onverkende vlakke van die menslike gees waar vrae veel magtiger is as oplossings.
Dit is ‘n toeganklike roman met diepte, vir die fynproewer.
Most citizens are well aware that the world is run rather badly by
those in power - the politicians - who are in many cases
democratically elected. Time and time again democracy fails to
protect the ordinary citizen and exhibits dangerous and damaging
flaws. Yet, it is often held up as the model of how best to govern.
This pamphlet presents facts and arguments that highlight exactly
why democracy just isn't very good and is no more than the best of
a bad bunch of options. However, this pamphlet also contains hope.
It expresses the belief that there is a vastly better way to run
the world for those who take the trouble to look for ways to do it.
It also outlines how that better alternative is practically
achievable.
