Farewell, Aylis

Akram Aylisli

Farewell, Aylis

Very few works of contemporary literature are as politically significant to their own time and place as this one, which asks difficult questions of a small, recently independent country trying to make its way in the world. This book is a literary work of conscience – a work of witness, the result of a lifetime’s experience and observation – by one of the preeminent authors of his country and a former member of Azerbaijan’s National Assembly. This fictional work responds to political upheaval...

A Russian Immigrant

Maxim D. Shrayer

A Russian Immigrant

• Focus and relevance: It is impossible to imagine the texture of Israeli, American and Canadian communities without the presence of Russian Jews and Jews born to Jewish-Russian immigrant parents. This “new Jewish diaspora” is often called the last great wave of immigrants. Although tremendously successful (think of the boy from Moscow who invented Google), Jews from the former USSR and their children have not shed the skin of either Russianness or Sovietness. • Structure: unputdownable and...

Don't Fall In Love With Marcus Aure...

Eva Lubinger

Don't Fall In Love With Marcus Aurelius

The British way, with its dogged pioneering traveler’s passion, and the more easy-going Italian spin to life are contrasted in a whimsical way in this charming and humorous book. Set in the captivating cities of Rome and Venice, it’s a journey where anything is possible, and where light and shadow rapidly alternate in vivid scenes. All combined, a uniquely inspiring and restorative reading pleasure.

The Complete Gary Lutz

Gary Lutz

The Complete Gary Lutz

For nearly three decades, Gary Lutz has been writing quietly influential, virtuosic short fictions of antic despair. In barbed sentences of startling originality, Lutz gives voice to outcasts from conventional genders and monogamies—and even from the ruckus of their own bodies. Making their rounds of daily humiliations, Lutz's self-unnerving narrators find themselves helplessly trespassing on their own lives. Gary Lutz is considered one of the best writers alive by many. His writing...

Blou Maandag

Blou Maandag

’n Wetenskaplike van Cardiff-Universiteit het 'n formule gevind om te bereken wanneer 'n blou Maandag mens gaan tref. Hy sê dit is die weer minus jou skuld, vermenigvuldig met die dae wat verby is sedert Kersfees, wat dan gedeel moet word die som van jou lae motiveringsvlakke en jou behoefte om aksie te neem. Daarvolgens was 25 Januarie vanjaar die amptelike, wetenskaplik bewese Blou Maandag. Die dag waarop mense regtig lelik depressief geraak het. Tafelberg-Uitgewers het 'n...

Reise van Isobelle

Elsa Joubert

Reise van Isobelle

Die jare 1894 tot 1994 is vir die Afrikaner ’n tydperk van grootse maar veral pynlike gebeure. ’n Gewone Suid-Afrikaanse familie beleef in hierdie roman die Anglo-Boereoorlog, die Eerste Wêreldoorlog, die 1914-Rebellie, 1918 se tragiese Groot Griep en 1938 se besielende Voortrekkereeufees, die Tweede Wêreldoorlog se gruwels, die 1948-verkiesing wat tot apartheid se hoogbloei lei, en die tagtigerjare se opstande. Belangwekkende historiese gebeure bly egter kil feite voor dit deur die individu...

Maar Tintin in Tibet

Dit net heeltemal way out buite die kwessie dat jou dominee-pa by jou flat opdaag en sê jy moet saam met hom Beaufort-Wes toe ry omdat ’n messias daar gesien is. Of liewer, normaalweg is dit. Maar as jy pas met jou Golfie agter in ’n karretjie van die Jack and Jill Driving School vasgery het en jou girlfriend kom daarna met die storie dat julle nie meer die naweek alleen Struisbaai toe kan gaan nie . . . dan, ja . . .

Klara

Mariel le Roux

Klara

Dis waar dit geëindig het, toe die trekker se wiel Klara se pa papgedruk het. Toe hulle ná haar pa se dood van Boplaas moes weg en in die Witlokasie moes gaan woon, toe was alles verby. Boplaas het hulle afgeskud. Of so het Klara gedink. Maar die waarheid is dat Boplaas nie klaar was met haar nie. Haar susters kon wegkom – Leen met haar oneerbiedigheid en Martie deur met ’n halwe Duitser te trou en landuit te vlug – maar nie sy nie. Iemand moes omsien na Ma wie se kop heeltemal uitgehaak het, en...

As the World Walks Through Your Doors

Mama, don’t take my Kodachrome away. —Paul Simon To preserve some of the poignant and humorous moments of his thirty-five-year career as a family doctor, Michael Hahalyak jotted down snapshots of a few words on pieces of scrap paper whenever an interesting moment occurred at work. After a few years of collecting these brief snapshots of memories, he started writing chapters chronologically with various themes expressed in each chapter.
