The Fox and the flies: The world of Joseph Silver Racketeer & Psychopath - Charles van Onselen
R365,00
At the end of the nineteenth century European pimps and 'white slavers' established a hugely successful global market for commercial sex. Criminal syndicates from Buenos Aires to London and from Cape Town to New York were able to organise the seduction or rape of women in under-developed parts of Europe and their 'export' as prostitutes to meet an insatiable demand for sexual services. For three turbulent decades before the First World War, Joseph Silver - brothel-owner, pimp and trafficker in women on four continents - was central to this hidden world of betrayal, intrigue, lust and sexual slavery. Burglar, gun-runner, jewel-thief, rapist, safe-cracker and sodomist, Silver's notoriety was captured in the most confidential correspondence of a dozen countries in the western world. What those in charge of law-enforcement agencies kept to themselves, however, was how their officers had attempted to use Silver as an informer to infiltrate syndicates built on 'vice', only to have him outwit them as he moved in the dangerous space between police and prostitutes. A disturbed adolescent, youthful predator and adult misogynist driven by dark biblical and medieval obsessions, Silver's mental universe remained largely hidden from his family, other gangsters and police handlers. In this first reconstruction of the life of a dangerous psychopath, Charles van Onselen situates the private life of one man amidst the demi-monde of the Atlantic world to identify the most infamous serial killer of all time - for Joseph Silver's darkest secret of all lay in London, in Whitechapel, in the autumn of 1888.

Stiffed - Susan Faludi
R200,00
With the publication of BACKLASH, Susan Faludi became a world-renowned authority on the gender war, and 'backlash' in the gender sense became a household word. STIFFED picks up where BACKLASH left off. It seeks to understand male behavior in order to close the chasm between the sexes, and asks the all-important question - why? Why are men so fear ful of women's independence? Why is a little liberation seen as too mu ch? What is it that men really fear, and why? The author shows that we should really focus on The Man Question; at the end of the millennium, it is men who are in crisis. She argues that we are all at the mercy of social forces distorting our lives. She takes us from the shuttered shipyards to the mass lay-offs of the defence industries, from Hollywood action heroes to gang-torn streets, from militia men to Promise Keepe rs, praying husbands to male porn actors. Faludi explores the economic , cultural and political roots of the crisis, unpacks the media messag es sent to men in the last twenty-five years, and charts new territory for male-female relations in the twenty-first century.

Stones against the mirror - Hugh Lewin
R150,00
A brave and moving memoir which is both a family history and a story of friendship and betrayal between people caught up in the wrenching forces of the South African Struggle. It is framed as a journey between two railway stations. The departure is from Park station Johannesburg and the destination is York station in Britain. It is an actual journey and the arrival at York is a real event, but it is also a symbolic journey in which Lewin describes his progress towards a meeting with Adrian Leftwich, the man who betrayed him to the Security Police in 1964. Park station is the point of departure because it was the site in 1964 of the station bomb planted by John Harris who was associated with the cell in which Lewin operated. The book therefore has a quest structure. After 40 years, Lewin is determined to meet with his long-term friend Leftwich both to find out what happened at his trial and to deal with the emotions of anger and bitterness that have assailed him ever since. Lewin’s subject is the culpability of betrayal.

Humphrey Gibbs Beleaguered Governor Southern Rhodesia, 1929-69 - Alan Megahey
Humphrey Gibbs was born into an Edwardian upper-class family in 1902. After Eton and Cambridge he emigrated in 1928 to Southern Africa, eventually deciding to farm in Southern Rhodesia. He was a prominent churchman, and was active in organizing the country's farmers. He promoted conservation before it was fashionable to do so. A reluctant MP, he welcomed the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland, and supported the cause of multiracialism. Gibbs became Governor of Southern Rhodesia in 1959, and six years later was faced with the problem of UDI. He remained at Government House and was a conduit between the British government and the rebel regime, stepping down only after the country declared itself a republic. In retirement he watched civil war ravage the country he loved and he welcomed its evolution into Zimbabwe. He left his farm only when the dissident troubles in Matabeleland became too severe. His funeral took place in Harare Catherdral in November 1990.

Sam Jonah and the Remaking of Ashanti - A A Taylor
R250,00
Sam Jonah and the remaking of Ashanti recounts the inspirational life of one of Africa's most prominent black businessmen. From working underground as a shovel boy to his appointment as the CEO of the trailblazing African gold mining company, Ashanti Goldfields Corporation, Sam Jonah's determination to surmount every obstacle in a career strewn with hurdles makes for compelling reading. Frenzied deals, boardroom cliffhangers, political scandal and private battles punctuate this unique account of the challenges of conducting 'First World' business in the 'Third World'. Through Jonah's corporate leadership we explore the paradox that a continent so richly endowed with gold and other minerals should find itself in such dire poverty. It is a hopeful story about breaking the confines of one's circumstances, not just for Africans but for individuals the world over.

Vereeniging: Die onvoltooide vrede - Leon Wessels
R160,00
In die boek Some Afrikaners Revisited van David Goldblatt, is daar 'n foto van 'n berede jong Afrikaner, geneem by 'n Nasionale Party-viering in 1964. Daardie jong man was in 1990 die eerste lid van die NP-regering wat verskoning vir apartheid gevra het, en in November 2009 het hy uitgetree as Menseregtekommissaris. Watter pad het hom tot hier gelei? En watter pad het Suid-Afrika in dieselfde tyd geloop? Wessels vertel pakkend van die groot politieke veranderings wat hy beleef het, as minister in die laaste apartheidskabinet, as grondwetonderhandelaar en menseregte-kommissaris. Maar dis 'n groter verhaal wat hy vertel. "Dit maak my vies wanneer apartheid die skuld kry vir alles wat skeef loop," se hy. "Dit maak my net so vies wanneer mense maak asof apartheid geen impak het op hedendaagse vraagstukke nie." Met sy vertrekpunt dat die nuwe Suid-Afrika se grondwet op die aandrang van Nelson Mandela by Vereeninging onderteken is, waar ook die Vrede onderteken is wat die Unie tot stand gebring het, vra hy die vraag hoe ver ons op die weg van vereniging gevorder het. Hy beantwoord dit aan die hand van vyf groot temas: die regstaat, menseregte, rassisme, versoening, en armoede. Wessels, wat 'n ver pad gekom het sedert sy berede dae, praat oorredend en met ontwapenende eerlikheid oor nasionale en eie dwalings.

Bidsprinkaan - 'n ware storie - Andre P Brink
R150,00
Afrika se eeue oue magiesheid en hartstog vorm die agtergrond van die intiem verweefde komedie en tragedie in hierdie roman. Dit is gebaseer op die historiese figuur Kupido Kakkerlak (c. 1760 – c. 1825) se lewe. Maar die raaisel van 'n mens se lewe word ten beste met die verbeelding benader. Kupido is nie gebore nie, 'n arend het hom gebring. In daardie tyd het ook 'n bidsprinkaan verskyn - 'n teken van die gode. Wonderwerke het soos optelgoed op die aarde rondgele. Nadat Heitsi-Eibib in die veld aan Kupido verskyn het, raak hy as baasjagter bekend tot ver buite die grense van die boereplaas waar hy grootword. Hy is ook die drinker, leuenaar, minnaar en bakleier van die kontrei. Onder die sendeling dr. Van der Kemp se invloed word hy egter die eerste Khoi wat as sendeling aan die Kaap die Goeie Hoop georden is.

Inboekeling - Hans du Plessis
R120,00
He was dragged onto the yard by a thong. A boy. A stranger. Off balance on his clumsy feet, the floppy hat pulled down low over his jug ears, red in the face because of the thong around his neck. The people gawking at him were not used to strangers. Here where they stay no-one has lived before. Their leader led their trek here more or less six years ago, dug the heel of his velskoen into the ground, made a possessive sweep with his big hand and declared the area his property. Here his word was law. The pastor confirmed his authority through the Bible. Also over the indentured, those children brought back to the laager after punitive raids against the indigenous people. The fathers and mothers were shot –stock thieves surely, all of them – and the children were carried away to be reared as slaves.The indentured.The boy on the rope sees a black girl staring at him from under the peak of a bonnet. Only later, locked up in a smithy, will he discover who and what she is. And when he is taken along on an expedition to recapture stolen stock, he is confronted with the horrid reality of her life: a child who was snatched from between the corpses of her parents and carried away on the saddle of a horseman.And it will be this simple boy, dragged onto that trekkers’ yard by a thong, who will bring it home in that godforsaken hinterland that there is no bond as durable, no rope as strong, as the commitment a heart makes.

God and Grace of Body - David Brown
R350,00
David Brown explores the ways in which the symbolic associations of the body and what we do with it have helped shape religious experience and continue to do so. A Church narrowly focused on Christ's body wracked in pain needs to be reminded that the body as beautiful and sexual has also played a crucial role not only in other religions but also in the history of Christianity itself. Dance was one way in which the connection was expressed. The irony is not that such a connection has gone but that it now exists almost wholly outside the Church. Much the same could be said about music more generally, and Brown writes excitingly about the spiritual potential of not just classical music but also pop, jazz, musicals, and opera. Like Brown's much-praised earlier volumes, God and Enchantment of Place, Tradition and Imagination, and Discipleship and Imagination, the present book will enlarge horizons and challenge the narrowness of much theological thinking.

Three Views on Eastern Orthodoxy and Evangelicalism - James Stamoolis Gen Ed
R160,00
To some Western evangelicals, the practices of Eastern Orthodoxy seem mysterious and perhaps even unbiblical. Then again, from an Orthodox perspective, evangelicals lack the spiritual roots provided by centuries-old church traditions. Are the differences between these two branches of Christianity so sharp that to shake hands is to compromise the gospel itself? Or is there room for agreement? Are Eastern Orthodoxy and evangelicalism at all compatible? Yes, no, maybe---this book allows five leading authorities to present their different views, have them critiqued by their fellow authors, and respond to the critiques. Writing from an Orthodox perspective with a strong appreciation for evangelicalism, Bradley Nassif makes a case for compatibility. Michael Horton and Vladimir Berzonsky take the opposite stance from their respective evangelical and Orthodox backgrounds. And George Hancock-Stefan (evangelical) and Edward Rommen (Orthodox) each offer a qualified perhaps. The interactive Counterpoints forum is ideal for comparing and contrasting the different positions to understand the strengths and weaknesses of these two important branches of Christianity and to form a personal conclusion regarding their compatibility. The Counterpoints series provides a forum for comparison and critique of different views on issues important to Christians. Counterpoints books address two categories: Church Life and Bible and Theology. Complete your library with other books in the Counterpoints series."

Misquoting Truth - A Guide to the Fallacies of Bart Ehrman's "Misquoting Jesus" - Timothy Paul Jones
"What good does it do to say that the words of the Bible] are inspired by God if most people have absolutely no access to these words, but only to more or less clumsy renderings of these words into a language? . . . How does it help us to say that the Bible is the inerrant word of God if in fact we don't have the words that God inerrantly inspired? . . . We have only error-ridden copies, and the vast majority of these are centuries removed from the originals." So contends Bart D. Ehrman in his bestselling Misquoting Jesus. If altogether true, we have little reason to put our confidence in Scripture. Add to this Ehrman's contention that what we read in the New Testament represents the winners' version of events, twisted to suit their own purposes and not at all a faithful recounting of what really happened, and the case for skepticism and unbelief gives every appearance of being on solid footing. But are things really so bad off? Were the New Testament documents widely distorted by copyists? Can we in fact have no idea what was in the originals? Do we have no hope of knowing what eyewitnesses said and thought? Are other documents left out of the New Testament better sources for understanding early Christianity? While readily conceding that Ehrman has many of his facts straight, pastor and researcher Timothy Paul Jones argues that Ehrman is far too quick to jump to false and unnecessary conclusions. In clear, straightforward prose, Jones explores and explains the ins and outs of copying the New Testament, why lost Christianities were lost, and why the Christian message still rings true today.

They are incidental to the ultimate meaning of life, that is to re-establish and enjoy a relationship with God.

Spud: Learning to Fly - John van de Ruit
R100,00
As Spud Milton continues his diabolical stagger through adolescence, he learns one of life's most important lessons: when dealing with women and cretins, nothing is ever quite as it seems. 'I'm practically a man in most areas', writes Spud confidently on his sixteenth birthday. The year is 1992 and, as always in South Africa, radical change is in the air. The country may be on the bumpy road to an uncomfortable redemption, but Spud Milton is hoping for a smooth ride as he returns to boarding school as a senior. Instead, he discovers that his vindictive arch enemy is back to taunt him and that a garrulous Malawian has taken residence in his dormitory, along with the regular inmates and misfits he calls friends. Spud's world has never seemed less certain; he attempts to master Shakespeare, wrestles constantly with God and the power of negative thinking, and develops an aversion to fried fish after a shocking discovery about his grandmother, Wombat.
