Davide ist kein schlechter Bursche, er hat einfach nur Pech gehabt. Mehr Pech, als solch eine labile Person vertragen kann. Und so schlittert Davide von Abgrund zu Abgrund. Unbeholfen pendelt er zwischen Gefängnis und psychiatrischer Klinik hin und her. Seine Mutter, ein wichtiger Halt in seinem Leben, stirbt früh. Zu früh, um Davide aus dem Sumpf aus Drogen und Gewalt zu retten, in den er sich immer mehr verstrickt. Was hat das Schicksal mit Davide noch vor?

I fought the Romans once. It no longer seems a prudent thing to do. Carthage concludes the internationally acclaimed trilogy that began with Hannibal and continued with Scipio. Here, Ross Leckie tells of the final Punic War: the story of a great city and a people’s utter eradication under the relentless rise of Rome. But its chief characters, one the bastard son of Hannibal, the other of Scipio, would have wished it otherwise. Both seek peace, but are caught up in war. As they struggle between...

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...

• 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...

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.

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...

’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...

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...

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.
