The Love Song Of Andre P. Brink is the first biography of this major South African novelist who, during his lifetime, was published in over 30 languages and ranked with the likes of Gabriel García Márquez, Peter Carey and Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn.

Leon de Kock’s eagerly awaited account of Brink’s life is richly informed by a previously unavailable literary treasure: the dissident Afrikaner’s hoard of journal-writing, a veritable chronicle that was 54 years in the making. In this massive new biographical source – running to a million words – Brink does not spare himself, or anyone else for that matter, as he narrates the ups and downs of his five marriages and his compulsive affairs with a great number of women. These are precisely the topics that the rebel in both politics and sex skated over in his memoir, A Fork in the Road.

De Kock’s biographical study of the author who came close to winning the Nobel Prize for Literature not only synthesises the journals but also subjects them to searching critical analysis. In addition, the biographer measures the journals against additional sources, both scholarly and otherwise, among them the testimony of Brink’s friends, family, wives and lovers.

The Love Song Of Andre P. Brink subjects Brink’s literary legacy to a bracing scholarly re-evaluation, making this major new biography a crucial addition to scholarship on Brink

’n Ligte spanningsverhaal met ’n tikkie liefde.

Nerien-hulle se huishulp vertel haar van kinderdae af van die nagreisiger. Sy kry dikwels nagmerries oor hom – ’n man wat haar in die donker agtervolg of langs die pad staan en duimgooi. Sy kan nooit sy gesig uitmaak nie. Op ’n dag besef Nerien dat die nagreisiger mens se gewete is – en dis onmoontlik om dit te ontvlug. Waarheen ook al jy gaan – jou gewete reis saam …

’n Orkaan waai privaatspeurder Beer Henning tot op die spogroosplaas Roosbaron. Daar ontdek hy pikswart rose wat ’n dodelike geheim versteek: die duiwelsroos.

Hy ontmoet die eksentrieke eienares van die plaas, Mathilda van Eck. Haar sewentienjarige seun Marnus is presies ’n jaar gelede in verdagte omstandighede dood. Sy huur Beer om uit te vind wat werklik gebeur het.

Beer vermoed Marnus is vermoor en dat die motief reg onder sy neus is. En in so ’n geval is die moordenaar daar op die plaas!

Whetsho-otsile Joseph (Joe) Seremane is the founding federal chair of the Democratic Alliance in South Africa. Joe’s story spans six decades and tells of a visionary who survived incarceration at Robben Island, exile to Bophuthatswana and further incarceration at Fort Glamorgan.

Joe starts out as a champion of the banned People’s Africanist Congress but gradually develops a more holistic viewpoint. He concludes that he can contribute to the new democracy by helping to swell the ranks of the opposition. Eventually, in 2002, Joe finds his way to the Democratic Alliance as their founding federal chair. Hurt and disappointment come his way as he is seen as a traitor and a coconut by erstwhile comrades and co-prisoners.

As democracy in his beloved homeland starts to shed its skin of idealism and hope, he has to grapple with grave personal loss and a compelling question: Who is the enemy really?

In his foreword Tony Leon, erstwhile leader of the DA, notes: "I commend Fly the Tattered Dream Coat, both for its deep dive into this country’s history-in-the-making and the human story it describes of one of the more significant but underappreciated fighters for South Africa’s freedom."

In this engaging and authentic record of Joe’s storied careers and background, Dr Maske recounts Joe’s presence in my life at both its happiest and saddest…

Leon Nell’s sixth book to explore another captivating part of South Africa reveals a bounty of treasures that give the West Coast, or Weskus as locals call it, its particular allure.

Beginning at Melkbosstrand just north of Cape Town, and ending where the Orange River meets the Atlantic Ocean, the book divides the coastal stretch into four discrete and easily explored regions. Coastal and inland towns are described, together with their main
attractions, offering glimpses into early human history, local culture and traditions, nature and wildlife, and modern-day economic pursuits.

• SOUTH encompasses the Cape West Coast Biosphere Reserve, various wildflower reserves, Darling, Evita se Perron and !Khwa ttu San Heritage Centre
• CENTRAL covers Yzerfontein and the West Coast National Park, including Langebaan Lagoon, Eve’s Footprints, Postberg Flower Reserve and Saldanha
• NORTH explores the celebrated fishing industry at Velddrif, St Helena Bay and Elands Bay, and archaeological discoveries in the area
• DIAMOND COAST spans Doringbaai, Vredendal, Port Nolloth, Kleinzee and Alexander Bay.

Moord aan boord van die Leonardo

Forensiese patoloog Madelein Blignaut het al te veel dood in haar loopbaan gesien. Ná nog ’n ontstellende hofsaak besluit sy om ontvlugting te gaan soek op die Leonardo, ’n luukse passasierskip wat deur die verre ooste vaar.

Daar ontmoet sy ’n groep fassinerende Suid-Afrikaners: Die bekroonde pianis Tibor Lindeque wat kort-kort bekommerd vir haar kyk en ’n aantreklike kulkunstenaar Helmut Coleman wat gou vir haar onweer-staanbaar raak.

Wanneer hulle op Okinawa afklim, vertel Tibor vir haar die inwoners van hierdie eiland word oeroud. “Daar is nie dood op Okinawa nie.”

Maar hy is verkeerd. Kort voor lank tref hulle die een na die ander medepassasier se lyk aan. ’n Storm dwing hulle na dieper waters toe, en dan besef Madelein daar is ’n moordenaar op die Leonardo. Wie is dit? Wat wil hulle hê? En, meer belangrik, wie’s volgende?

Het Heiberg. Die weggooikind wat Verlangekraal se naam sou verewig. Sy het dit gewaag om in opstand te kom teen ’n rigiede skoolsisteem wat geen rebelsheid of individualiteit sou duld nie. Net meneer Doep het tussen haar en die verderflike skoolhoof meneer Erlank gestaan.

Hierdie geliefde en diep menslike verhaal wys vir die eerste keer Het Heiberg se kant van die saak. Wie in haar lewe saak gemaak het en wat in haar gedagtes omgegaan het. Dit vertel bowenal hoe sy oorleef het.

Gaan hulle mekaar vind of vernietig?

Lucas Jordaan sluit sy bosveldlodge naby Hoedspruit nadat sy meisie onder raaiselagtige omstandighede verdwyn. Dan stop joernalis Renske du Toit voor Jagtersrus se hekke, gestuur deur ’n reistydskrif om oor die lodge te skryf.

Die aantrekking tussen hulle is dadelik tasbaar, al probeer albei dit ontken. Maar wanneer Renske begin stories hoor van die duiwel-in-die-bos wat glo sy eks uit die weg geruim het, ontdek sy ’n donker kant aan Lucas wat haar bang maak, maar ook bedwelm.

Intussen duik nog onheilspellende raaisels op. Wat steek hy vir haar weg? Hoekom waarsku almal haar oor hom? Wat beteken die hangertjie om sy nek? En wie stuur vir hom gedurig kriptiese, dreigende boodskappe?

Hoe meer Renske hom leer ken, hoe sterker haar aangetrokkenheid, maar ook hoe groter die gevaar. Gaan hulle mekaar in hierdie waaghalsige stryd vol begeerte vind of vernietig?

Droomjagter is ’n erotiese spanningsverhaal vol kinkels wat jou om meer as een rede uitasem sal laat.

The first major volume to place U.S.-centered labor history in a transnational or U.S.-in-the-world focus, Workers Across the Americas collects the newest work of leading Canadianist, Caribbeanist, and Latin American specialists, as well as U.S. historians. As distinct from comparative histories built around the integrity of their nation-state subjects, these essays highlight both the supra- or sub-national aspect of selected topics without ignoring the power of nation-states themselves as historical forces. Indeed, the transnational focus opens new avenues for understanding changes in the concepts, policies and practice of states, their interactions with each other and their populations, and the ways in which the popular classes resist, react, and use both nation-state and non-state entities to advance their interests. What does this transnational turn encompass? And what are its likely perils as well as promise as a framework for research and analysis? To address these questions six eminent scholars (John French, Julie Greene, Neville Kirk, Aviva Chomsky, Dirk Hoerder, and Vic Satzewich) lead off the volume with their own critical commentaries on the very project of transnational labor history. Their responses effectively offer a tour of explanations, tensions, and cautions in the evolution of a new arena of research and writing. Thereafter, Workers Across the Americas groups fifteen research essays around themes of Labor and Empire, Indigenous Peoples and Labor Systems, International Feminism and Reproductive Labor, Labor Recruitment and Immigration Control, Transnational Labor Politics, and Labor Internationalism. Topics range from military labor in the British Empire to coffee workers on the Guatemalan/Mexican border to the Atlantic white slavery traffic to the role of the International Labor Organization in attempting to set common labor standards. Leading scholars-including Camille Guerin-Gonzalez, Alex Lichtenstein, Nelson Lichtenstein, Colleen O'Neill, Premilla Nadasen, and Bryan Palmer-introduce each section and also make recommendations for further reading.

From time to time in the study of theology it becomes necessary to evaluate what Scripture has to say on certain crucial doctrines of the faith. Leon Morris, one of this generation's most respected evangelical scholars, here offers a survey of the vast subject of atonement as it is presented in the New Testament. The Cross in the New Testament explores in turn Matthew and Mark, and Lukan writings, John, the Pauline epistles, Hebrews, the catholic epistles, and Revelation, showing what each New Testament scripture contributes to our understanding of atonement. Atonement for Morris is not merely expiation i.e. a covering over of sins but propitiation i.e. also a turning aside of wrath, this was the contention he had with his doctoral supervisor C.H.Dodd. While Morris emphasizes the need to appreciate the many strands woven into this doctrine, he criticizes the views of modern scholars that do not square with the biblical teaching. At the heart of the doctrine of atonement is the idea of substitution, Morris believes, and his thorough examination and defense of substitutionary atonement make this volume a theological apologetic of great significance. Trusted as an exhaustive and reliable work of scholarship for the past thirty-five years and available now in this new paperback edition, The Cross in the New Testament remains an invaluable text for serious students of the Bible.

Life is frequently about ‘turning up’ and Tony Leon was present at the making of history both big and small.

Being There is a frank and insightful collection of insider accounts from a life in politics. The centrepiece is Leon’s riveting diary of the GNU negotiations that went down to the wire following the 2024 elections. This is the first and only inside account of these talks.

He also casts his gimlet eye on the fault lines of the Middle East, shares ambassadorial adventures in Argentina, and outlines the perils of political party fundraising. Written in Leon’s vintage style – observant, witty, acerbic – he proves the maxim that much of success is simply about being there.

A "powerful and insightful" (Cyntoia Brown-Long, author of Free Cyntoia) memoir in the vein of Just Mercy and The Sum of Us that upends our understanding about the future of policing in the United States and explores how we can begin healing from systemic injustice. In 2012, nineteen-year-old Leon Ford was shot five times by a Pittsburgh police officer during a racially charged traffic stop stemming from a case of mistaken identity. When he woke up in the hospital, he was faced with two life-changing realities: he was a new father, and he was paralyzed from the waist down. Leon found the only way to move forward was to let go of his bitterness and learn to practice forgiveness. Now, in this memoir and manifesto, Leon illustrates how this harrowing experience has inspired a deep reckoning with the issues his community is facing, not only with police brutality, but also an epidemic of street violence, toxic masculinity and its impact on Black fatherhood, and the lack of disability rights and mental health access in disenfranchised communities. In the wake of countless similar shootings across the country, Leon details how he turned towards social activism, dedicating himself to bridging the gap between the police and the communities they are supposed to serve. With a voice filled with "healing, triumph, and resilience" (Shaka Senghor, bestselling author of Writing My Wrongs), Ford offers fresh, counterintuitive ways we can effect social change. Leon shows us how, together, we can move away from retribution and towards transformative justice in order to end police brutality and heal as a country. As he once said, "Lead with love. Start compassionate conversations even with individuals and systems that have caused you pain. I know from experience that you can make your pain purposeful."

'Donna Leon provides another delectable slice of the thoughtful policeman's life at work and at home... So Shall You Reap is as witty and wise as anything Leon has written. To read her is to restore the soul.' Mark Sanderson, The Times 'Like all of Leon's novels, it ultimately feels like a glorious invigorating holiday.' Daily Express --- On a cold November evening, Guido Brunetti and Paola are up late when a call from his colleague Ispettore Vianello arrives, alerting the Commissario that a hand has been seen in one of Venice's canals. The body is soon found, and Brunetti is assigned to investigate the murder of an undocumented Sri Lankan immigrant. Because no official record of the man's presence in Venice exists, Brunetti is forced to use the city's far richer sources of information: gossip and the memories of people who knew the victim. Curiously, he had been living in a garden house on the grounds of a palazzo owned by a university professor, in which Brunetti discovers books revealing the victim's interest in Buddhism, the revolutionary Tamil Tigers, and the last crop of Italian political terrorists, active in the 1980s. As the investigation expands, Brunetti, Vianello, Commissario Griffoni, and Signorina Elettra each assemble pieces of a puzzle-random information about real estate and land use, books, university friendships-that appear to have little in common. Until Brunetti stumbles over something that transports him back to his own student days, causing him to reflect on lost ideals and the errors of youth, on Italian politics and history, and on the accidents that sometimes lead to revelation.
