Die Tienduisend Dinge (Afrikaans, Paperback): Maria Dermout Die Tienduisend Dinge (Afrikaans, Paperback)
Maria Dermout; Translated by Ena Jansen
R282 Discovery Miles 2 820 Ships in 4 - 8 working days

De tienduizend dingen (1955) is Maria Dermoût se beroemdste boek en is in vyftien tale vertaal. Dit is die sintuiglike en kaleidoskopiese verhaal van Felicia, “mevrou van Kleyntjies”, wat woon op 'n oënskynlik paradyslike Molukse eiland, in 'n huis aan die binnebaai.

Die titel is ontleen aan 'n uitspraak van Ts'ên Shên: “Wanneer die 'tienduisend dinge' in hulle eenheid gesien is, keer ons terug na die begin en bly waar ons altyd was.” Hieruit blyk Dermoût se Boeddhistiese ingesteldheid: 'n sprankelende viering van die natuur en die lewe, en tegelyk 'n gelatenheid oor die verbygaan van tyd.

Die opvallendste tema in Dermoût se werk is verlies: verdriet oor die dood en die afwesigheid van geliefdes, oor geweld en wreedheid, en oor eensaamheid. Verdriet word getemper deur 'n omvattende liefde vir 'dinge': plante, skulpe, korale, golfies wat breek. Én deur berusting en aanvaarding van jou lot.

During the first half of the twentieth century, on an island in the Moluccas archipelago, only a few of the ancient spice gardens remain. One of these is home to Felicia, "the young lady of the small garden," the last descendant of a Dutch family that owned nutmeg plantations. All of her family passed away a long time ago, and although it seems she has nothing left, Felicia lives surrounded by the presence of a multitude of things: her home, the forest, the sea, the scents of the island, her memories, and fantasy. Myths and real-life stories that end tragically intersect in a place where grief and pain can't seem to alter the natural balance of life, and where the past is as powerful as the present. "En la primera mitad del siglo XX, en una isla del archipielago de las Molucas, se conservan ya pocos de los antiguos jardines de especias. En uno de ellos vive Felicia, "la dama del pequeno jardin," ultima descendiente de una familia holandesa propietaria de plantaciones de nuez moscada. Toda su familia ha muerto hace ya tiempo, y aunque en apariencia no le queda nada, Felicia vive rodeada por la presencia de un sinfin de cosas: su casa, el bosque, el mar, los aromas de la isla, sus recuerdos y fantasia. Leyendas e historias reales que terminan tragicamente se entrecruzan en un lugar donde la pena y el dolor no logran alterar el equilibrio natural de la existencia, y donde el pasado tiene tanta fuerza como el presente."
