Die Skrywer (Afrikaans, Paperback) - Esta Steyn
R99,00
Op ’n stil aand, in ’n herehuis langs ’n meer, dans ’n jong vrou in ’n verruklike rooi aandrok met haar werkgewer, Arthur Addington – befoeterde, eens beroemde Amerikaanse draaiboekskrywer en onbeminde eienaar van die Addington-landgoed.Nooit sou Arthur, worstelend met skrywersblok en wroegend oor die dood van sy vrou en kind, kon raai dat sy stralende dansmaat soveel geheime ronddra nie. Dat Anabella Maria Bennett, kortom Ben, g’n huishoudster is nie, maar ’n joernalis en ’n sendelingdogter uit Afrika. Dat hy haar lank gelede dáár ontmoet het . . .Daar is ’n somber rede waarom Ben haar hart nie blootlê nie, maar eerder saans haar eie verhaal skryf: van die Swahili-wiegelied wat haar kleintyd getroos het, die wyse Kepo wat haar leer boogskiet het, van Paka, haar grootmaakleeu, en van haar en Kepo en dokter Catherine Dumay se ylingse vlug na Bulungwi . . . Slegs Jameson, opsigter by Addington, en sy “Lucy-lief’’ begryp. Hulle word haar vertrouelinge en wakende engele.Wanneer Arthur gehawend terugkeer ná ’n reis deur Afrika, vind hy in sy lessenaar ’n manuskrip wat sy lewe sal verander en hom sy skeppende krag teruggee: Anabella se Afrika-testament.Die Skrywer is ’n aangrypende, eg menslike verhaal met dramatiese Afrika-uitlopers. Met groot deernis maar ook met salwende humor deur Esta Steyn geskep.

Work Like Any Other (Hardcover) - Virginia Reeves
R350,00
LONGLISTED FOR THE MAN BOOKER PRIZE FOR FICTION 2016 Placing itself perfectly alongside acclaimed work by Philipp Meyer, Jane Smiley and J M Coetzee, this debut novel charts the story of Roscoe T Martin in rural Alabama in the 1920s. Roscoe has set his sights on a new type of power spreading at the start of the 20th century: electricity. It becomes his training, his life's work. But when his wife Marie inherits her father's failing farm, Roscoe has to give it up, with great cost to his pride and sense of self, his marriage and his family. Realising that he might lose them all, he uses his skills as an electrician to siphon energy from the state, ushering in a period of bounty and happiness on a farm recently falling to ruin. Even the love of Marie and their son seems back within Roscoe's grasp. Then everything changes. A young man is electrocuted on their land. Roscoe is arrested for manslaughter and - no longer an electrician or even a farmer - he must now carve out a place in a violent new world.

Anatomy of a Soldier - Harry Parker
R299,00
Captain Tom Barnes is leading British troops in a war zone. Two boys are growing up there, sharing a prized bicycle and flying kites, before finding themselves separated once the soldiers appear in their countryside. On all sides of this conflict, people are about to be caught up in the violence, from the man who trains one boy to fight the infidel invaders to Barnes's family waiting for him to return home. We see them not as they see themselves, but as all the objects surrounding them do: shoes and boots, a helmet, a trove of dollars, a drone, that bike, weaponry, a bag of fertilizer, a medal, a beer glass, a snowflake, dog tags, an exploding IED and the medical implements that are subsequently employed. Anatomy of a Soldier is a moving, enlightening and fiercely dramatic novel about one man's journey of survival and the experiences of those around him. Forty-five objects, one unforgettable story.

The Girl Who Saved the King of Sweden - Jonas Jonasson
R220,00
As delightfully wry and witty as his bestselling debut, 'The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared', this is a tale of how one woman's attempt to change her future ended up changing everything. Nombeko Mayeki is on the run from the world's most ruthless secret service - with three Chinese sisters, twins who are officially one person and an elderly potato farmer. Oh, and the fate of the King of Sweden - and the world - rests on her shoulders. Born in a Soweto shack in 1961, Nombeko was destined for a short, hard life. When she was run over by a drunken engineer her luck changed. Alive, but blamed for the accident, she was made to work for the engineer - who happened to be in charge of a project vital to South Africa's security. Nombeko was good at cleaning, but brilliant at understanding numbers. The drunk engineer wasn't - and made a big mistake. And now only Nombeko knows about it ...As uproariously funny as Jonas Jonasson's bestselling debut, this is an entrancing tale of luck, love and international relations.

Pindar glimlag. "Moenie my misverstaan nie. Daar's niks mee verkeerd om geld te maak nie. Sommer baie daarvan! Dit is egter nie 'n doelwit wat jou suksesvol sal maak nie." Hy sien die verwarring op Joe se gesig, knik instemmend en lig sy hand as teken dat hy gaan verduidelik. "Jy sien", gaan Pindar voort, "die meerderheid mense se koppe werk so dat hulle vir die kaggel se, 'gee my eers hitte, dan gooi ek hout op' maar vanselfsprekend werk dit nie so nie." Joe frons en probeer die logika van Pindar se redenasie begryp. "Jy sien? Jy kan nie gelyktydig in twee rigtings reis nie. Om suksesvol geld te maak as doelwit is soos om op 'n snelwegbaan teen 120 kilometer per uur te ry met jou oe vasgenael op die truspieeltjie."

Die Lang Generaal - Die Duisterste Politieke Sluipmoorde Van Die Ou Suid-Afrika (Afrikaans, Paperback)
R350,00
Die mees gevreesde sekuriteitspolisieman in die laaste drie dekades van apartheid was ongetwyfeld generaal "Lang Hendrik" van den Bergh, die hoof van die Buro van Staatsveiligheid. Hierdie titel deur 'n voormalige veiligheidspolisieman gebruik feite om die verhaal van die sluipmoordenaar se bewind te rekonstrueer, 'n drama van politieke moorde in sy fanatieke ywer om kommunisme te stuit. Van den Bergh was verantwoordelik vir die inhegtenisname van Nelson Mandela en het 'n indrukwekkende intelligensienetwerk opgebou met organisasies soos MI5, die CIA, Mossad, en ook Franse en Duitse agentskappe, met wie se hulp hy operasies uitgevoer het wat hom ’n gedugte figuur gemaak het in die skaduwereld van Koue-oorlogspioenasie. In Suid-Afrika is daar volgens die titel aanduidings dat hy betrokke kon wees by die sluipmoord op Eerste Minister HF Verwoerd, asook by die Johannesburge stasiebom-aanval, en die moord op dr Robert Smit en sy vrou, op wie se kombuismuur die geheimsinnige woorde "RAU TEM" geverf was. Volgens die titel mag hy selfs betrokke gewees het by die dood van die voormalige staatspresident Nico Diederichs en die NG teoloog professor Johan Heyns. Die meeste van hierdie moored is nooit opgelos nie. 'n Groot gedeelte van die intrige gaan oor die finansiele skandaal wat binne die Departement van Inligting afgespeel het rondom die ontwykende dr Eschel Rhoodie. Die titel ontbloot met 'n gevoel van dringendheid die vreesaanjaende ideolgie wat 'n hele samelewing tot ’n morele vryval gedryf het.

Wals met Matilda - Dan Sleigh
R125,00
Dan Sleigh se jongste manuskrip handel oor die lewe se ewige dans met die dood - alle lewe, ook die lewe van die skryfkuns. Die protagonis, Koos van der Merwe, was eens een van Goeie Hoop Uitgewers se topskrywers, en dit is waarom 'n woonstel in Bay View Villas aan hom toegeken is, op 'n verdieping wat die uitgewery reserveer vir die skrywers van topverkopers. Maar die muse het Koos verlaat. Jare reeds wag sy uitgewer vergeefs op nuwe werk uit die pen wat voorheen die kasregisters laat klingel het. Die uitgewery se geduld het opgeraak; Koos mag net in die woonstel aanbly as hy produktief is. In 'n bestel waarin kommersiele sukses die hoogste waarde is, is daar in elk geval nie plek vir iemand wat so verstok in sy wee is en so wars van alles wat progressief en modieus is nie. Die uitgewery speel sy troefkaart: Carelina van der Merwe is een van die inspirerendste redakteurs, en as sy nie nuwe lewe in Koos se loopbaan kan blaas nie sal niemand nie. Carelina waai soos 'n stormsterk suidooster by Koos se woonstel in. Hy gooi wal, hy skerm, hy vlug . . . maar uiteindelik begin hy vertel wat dit is wat die donker kolk in hom uitgeruk het waarin alle kreatiewe energie verdwyn. En al vertellende word sy skermutseling 'n dans. Dit is uiteindelik weer die dans met die muse, maar noodwendig weer die lewe-dood-dans, die dans van die lewe.

Op hierdie kritieke tydstip in haar lewe maak die eienaar van die eksklusiewe restaurant Tsalanang haar ’n aanbod wat sy nie kan weier nie. Giep Rossouw bied haar die geleentheid om te begin bou aan ’n loopbaan en in die proses haar eie menswaardigheid te ontdek. Hoekom bly sy, wat mans vir goed afgesweer het, egter in Giep se donker, smeulende blik vasval? En hoekom bedien hy erotiese skemerkelkies in ’n dameskroeg as hy eintlik ’n opgeleide predikant is? In ’n pynlike proses, waarin ou verhoudings verbrokkel en nuwes gevorm word, word Mia gestroop van die masker waaragter sy nog altyd geskuil het en moet sy diep delf om haarself te vind en haar eie identiteit te vestig. In ’n tyd van haar lewe wat dit vir Mia voel asof sy alles verloor, ontdek sy die krag wat in haar binneste lê en besef sy wat dit beteken om haar hart eers vir haarself te win, voordat sy dit vir iemand anders kan weggee.
