Veidrikud ja võpatused

Ott Kilusk

Veidrikud ja võpatused

Raamat annab sissevaate 1980. aastate Eesti külaellu ääremaal. Kool on seal üks eriskummaline asutus, kus mitmed õpetajad nõnda värvikad isiksused, et nende areenile ilmumine ongi võimalik vaid tolles üksildases paigas. Külaelanikud parajad veidrikud ning rebased enamasti marutaudis. Ja aeg-ajalt juhtub asju, mis panevad võpatama. Raamatut loeb Tambet Tuisk.

The Ones with Purpose

Nozizwe Cynthia Jele

The Ones with Purpose

“I imagined a dying person’s last breath as something resembling an exclamation mark, distinct and hanging mid-air like an interrupted thought. My older sister Fikile’s last breath before she dies is nothing of the sort. There is no rattling noise at the back of her throat. No relentless twitching. No clinging to life. Fikile dies with no more fuss than a switch of a light bulb.” With her sister, Fikile, dead from breast cancer, her father long gone, her mother emerging from years of slumber,...

Die kinders van Spookwerwe

Lize Albertyn-du Toit

Die kinders van Spookwerwe

Milano Kaliempie is Mieta en Hennerik se enigste vlaktekuiken op die plaas Spookwerwe in die dorre Bo-Karoo. Hul buurman, Geelsuiker, leer Milano die geheime van die veld, ook jakkalsjag, en op die werf is dit Mieta wat soggens douvoordag brood inknie en die hartklop van hul bestaan is. Dis wanneer juffrou Meintjies die dag met haar wit karretjie by die huis aankom, dat die hol kol op Mieta se maag kom sit. Dis ’n roman wat soos die vaal stof van die Bo-Karoo diep in jou hart kom lê.

Etienne Leroux

Sewe dae by die Silbersteins

Henry van Eeden is op ’n sewe-dag-besoek aan Welgevonden waar hy sy toekomstige bruid, Salome, gaan ontmoet. Maar voordat die ware gesig van die liefde vir hom ontbloot kan word moet hy sy insisiasieproses voltooi. Elke dag lewer bisarre ervarings op en saans moet Henry deur 'n doolhof vreemde partytjies stoei – sy onskuld laat gaan en die goeie en bose in homself versoen, voordat hy sy beminde tegemoet kan gaan. Sewe dae by die Silbersteins word in 1964 met die Hertzogprys bekroon.

Ajaloo ilu

Ajaloo ilu

Romaan on suur ajastuüldistus, eesti kirjanduse üks esimesi sügavalt kosmopoliitseid teoseid. Põhiosa tegevusest toimub Riias, taustaks on 1968. aasta sündmused Prahas. Viivi Luigele omaselt on raamat kirjutatud intensiivses ja samas aistitavalt poeetilises keeles. Teos tõusis juba oma esmailmumisel kitsast eesti kultuuriruumist kõrgemale, tabas ajastunärvi, tegi võimsaid üldistusi lähtudes Euroopa ajaloost ja on tänaseks tõlgitud 14 keelde. Loeb Tiina Mälberg.
