Paperback. Condizione: Fair. When Nelson Mandela read Ingrid Jonker's poem "The child" during his first address in the new South African parliament on 24 May 1994, he called her: ".an Afrikaner woman who transcended a particular experience and became a South African, an African and a citizen of the world." And added: "She was both a poet and a South African. She was both an Afrikaner and an African. She was both an artist and a human being. In the midst of despair, she celebrated hope. Confronted by death, she asserted the beauty of life."The earlier edition of translations from Ingrid's work, "Selected Poems" by Jack Cope and William Plomer, is now out of print, so a new translation will be welcomed by readers. But that this new translation is by two of South Africa's most illustrious authors, Andre Brink and Antjie Krog, that is indeed a special event. What is more, they did the translations with the help of one of the finest English poets in South Africa, Ingrid de Kok. Of their process, Andre writes the following in the Introduction: "In most cases, Antjie and I would each do our own translations of a poem, after which we would meet to discuss and hammer out a second draft; this would then be passed on to Ingrid de Kock for comment and recommendations, before all three of us would meet for prolonged sessions of mixing and matching, of trial and error, before arriving at something like consensus.".

'The years 1934 and 1948 demarcate a distinctive political era in South African politics. The period began with the establishment of the United Party based on the principle of broad political cooperation between English and Afrikaans-speaking whites. . The usual view of the electoral revival of Afrikaner nationalism places great importance on the race issue raised in the 1948 election campaign. Without ignoring the electoral potency of "apartheid", the author suggests a longer perspective in which the decision of Smuts in September 1939 to lead South Africa into World War II becomes the single most critical event.'.…

Very good condition. "Herman Charles Bosman has been widely recognised as one of South Africa's best short story writers and essayists. He was a man of very special gifts. He was a writer of supreme skill in narration and characterisation, he had an impressive command of language, and - above all - his work was illuminated by a play of humour that placed it entirely in a category of its own. . In this book on Bosman's life Valerie Rosenberg has succeeded admirably in drawing a picture of the man and the writer Bosman. He is present in these pages in all his baffling complexity, with all his fears and his foibles, his endearing human traits - and also with those dark reaches of the soul that at times threatened to topple his life into catastrophe, and before which he himself recoiled in horror.".…

There are plain tales of heroism - Wolraad Woltemade (whom everyone knows) and Jochem Willemsz (whom virtually nobody knows); there is horror in the dreadful privations of the survivors of the Cospatrick, which caught fire at sea; and there is fufilment in the inspired leadership of such men as Nuno Volho Pereira and Sir Ernest Shackleton. A truly gripping collection of disasters at sea, masterfully recounted.". …
