LEGKAARTE

Werner Klopper

Woordterapie vir verligte dinkers met ’n swaar gemoed. Met elke herlees verander die invalshoek. Dit is asof die sinnne deur ’n prisma skyn en ’n volkleurstorie ontbloot.

DERRICH GARDNER

Radio-omroeper RSG

’n Bundel waarmee algar kan vereenselwig. Waar uiteenlopende verse wat die soet en suur van emosie saamvat, wéér gelees wil word om die fyn oplettendheid van poëtiese kundigheid te absorbeer.

ANLIE JANSE VAN RENSBURG

Redakteur rooi rose

Uit Legkaarte straal ’n teer, digterlike stem wat die liefde, aarde, kosmos en selfs Ingrid Jonker onthou én besing. Dit is ’n bundel met dartelende verse wat sy leser in ’n warm gloed bly koester.

A GENERATION APART

Dave Baker

Whereas most people barely bat an eyelid when a middle-aged man becomes romantically involved with a girl more than thirty years his junior, a middle-aged woman who takes on a youth that much younger than her is accused of having a ‘toy boy’.

Wendy Forsyth finds herself in that exact predicament when she finds herself seriously attracted to a neighbour’s son while giving him extra maths lessons.

The story describes her fears, worries and emotions in detail as she battles with her unusual conundrum.

You’ll likely experience a mixture of reactions as you follow what transpires – at times sympathy with her plight but, at others, criticism of her actions. But, whatever your response, you’ll find it a fascinating read.

Dave Baker has to date published three novels in English – If I Retreat, Shoot Me, The Tame Khaki and The Khaki Boer. The first two have been translated into Afrikaans and can be viewed on his website at www.davebakerbooks.co.za.

VAN TOEKA TOT NOU

Rita Viljoen

Rita, die oudste van vyf kinders, is op 19 Augustus 1929 by haar oumagrootjie op die plaas, Manana, naby Lichtenburg gebore. Ou­magrootjie was ’n vroedvrou en het self die bevalling waargeneem.

Ná skool gaan studeer sy onderwys aan die destydse Normaal Kollege in Pretoria. Terwyl sy gedurende die Desembervakansie by haar ouers in Nylstroom kuier, ontmoet sy vir Alfonso Viljoen, ’n landmeter wat daar met opmetingswerk besig was.

Hulle is later getroud en vir die grootste deel van haar volwasse lewe het hulle in Tsumeb, Namibië gewoon, waar hulle vier seuns grootgeword en skoolgegaan het.

Ná Alfonso se aftrede kom hulle terug na die Republiek en koop ’n huis in Moorreesburg, waar hy ná etlike jare oorlede is. Sy bly ’n hele paar jaar lank alleen in die groot huis daar, tot sy eindelik weer teruggaan na Namibië om by haar jongste seun, Philip, in Swakopmund te gaan woon.

“Ek het hierdie brokkies uit my lewensreis neergepen ten einde dit aan my kinders, kleinkinders en agterkleinkinders na te laat. Miskien vind hulle dit interessant hoe ons toeka se dae gelewe het, en dalk is daar iets te leer uit my ondervindings,” sê Rita.

IF YOU CAN'T PLAY IT . . .

John Hargreaves

‘I’m the best drummer in the country’ John Hargreaves would jokingly say. Then add, self-deprecatingly, ‘Pretty average in the city, but in the country I’m tops’. This is public persona John, cocky and cheerful. His memoir shows another more complex, more interesting John, who, although born into the hey day of white privilege, found himself, at fifteen, out of school, homeless and obliged to support himself. Undaunted, optimistic, gay, recklessly promiscuous, doggedly self-sufficient, he drummed his way from job to job, from gig to gig, from lover to lover, from Johannesburg to New York, from pop to classics, from dance band to orchestra. And then from contentment to despair …

DORINGDRAADSTORIES

François Jordaan

Doringdraadstories vertel van sorgelose plaaskinders wat wild grootgeword het met koel Vaalriviersand tussen die tone, die roep van visarende en familiekuiers om eetkamertafels.

Die skrywer onthou lekkerkuierstories uit sy jongdae: stories met stertjies, want sonder ʼn tit­seltjie verbuiging is sulke stories soos kos sonder speserye. Dit was tye toe die lewe ongekompliseerd, misdaadvry en min­der gejaagd was; toe daar altyd tyd vir gesels en onverwagte gaste was.

Geniet sy verhale oor paraffienyskaste, diamantsmokkelary en 1950’s-inryteaters waar Wilde Weste-helde twaalf skote uit six-shooters kon kry, sonder herlaai. Dit was tye toe lekkie pêkets se pienk diakenpille en jêp skrêp-speelgoed ‘n kind se grootste drome bewaarheid het.

Daar is stories oor swaarkry: van voorgeslagte se geswoeg ná Kitchener se verskroeideaardebeleid; versengende droogtes; uitmergelende vee­voerskuld.

Doringdraadstories nooi lesers om ‘n paar oomblikke tot rus te kom en ‘n bietjie suiwer nostalgie te geniet.

FOR KEEPS by Robin Lee
For Keeps is the result of a commitment the Hermanus History Society made to ensure that the town’s history ‘comes alive’ for the public. Written between 2013 and 2019 by Dr Robin Lee for local and national media, these 30 articles feature high and low points in Hermanus’s history over a period of 150 years: frequent and destructive fires; the sad story of an under-utilised New Harbour, the rise and fall of the hotel holiday culture and the depletion of Walker Bay’s marine resources.
Meet characters that influenced the development of Hermanus: people like P J Luyt, Meester Paterson, T D Ravenscroft, Sir William Hoy and the Grants. Read about a past era of genteel living, contrasted with the hardships of a waning fish industry; about a South African holiday town during the Second World War and visits by nobles and influential personalities.
Relive the histories of many famous hotels, shopping emporiums, restaurants, cafés and natural attractions. Follow the changes brought about by tourism throughout the twentieth century up until today when Hermanus provides an unforgettable experience for the modern visitor.
Experience the gradual metamorphosis of a nineteenth-century fishing village, Hermanuspietersfontein, into a modern, prosperous town, Hermanus, despite having no specific industry or mineral resources to sustain its growth.
