Provocative and profound,<br />

Sebastian Faulks’s dazzling<br />

novel travels across continents<br />

and time to explore the chaos<br />

created by love, separation and<br />

missed opportunities. From<br />

the pain and drama of these<br />

highly particular lives emerges<br />

a mysterious consolation: the<br />

chance to feel your heart beat<br />

in someone else’s life.<br />

An exhilarating, multi-layered<br />

narrative that explores love,<br />

loss and what makes us human.<br />

in Praise oF hatred<br />

Khaled Khalifa<br />

ISbN 978 0 38561 764 2<br />

Against a backdrop of real-life<br />

events that occurred during<br />

the Syrian regime’s ruthless<br />

suppression of the Muslim<br />

Brotherhood in the 1980s,<br />

In Praise of Hatred is a stirring,<br />

sensual novel. Its elegant<br />

use of traditional, layered<br />

storytelling is a powerful<br />

echo of the modern-day<br />

tragedy that is now taking<br />

place in the Middle East.<br />

‘A Balzacian tale full of<br />

romance and murder that<br />

ranges from Afghanistan<br />

to Yemen to Syria’<br />

In die oomblik voor hy homself om die lewe bring,<br />

hersien Desmond die pad wat kon lei tot hier. Om<br />

homself en sy lot te verander moes Danie Fourie meer<br />

doen as ontsnap uit ’n tronk. Hy moes uitstyg en Desmond<br />

Faure word, homself herskep ver weg van Krugersdorp.<br />

Hy moes sy siel verkoop, iemand ompraat, sy verlede<br />

verbloem, sy geluk maak swaai soos Pretty Woman. Maar<br />

in die donker kantlyn van menslike gedrag val gewone<br />

reëls gou weg. Dit kos ’n kenner om deur die mooi<br />

afwerking te sien. Probleem is, soveel sonde laat homself<br />

nie sommerso afskud nie. En Desmond weet hy is steeds<br />

If a country wants to remain<br />

to manufacture things. In<br />

recent years, many nations<br />

have become obsessed with<br />

making money out of selling<br />

services, leaving the real<br />

business of manufacturing<br />

to others. Makers is about<br />

how all that is being reversed.<br />

The internet has democratised<br />

communications, leading to<br />

a massive increase in the<br />

range of participation in everything<br />

digital. Now the same is<br />

happening to manufacturing.

Piet Nortje<br />

Hardcover | R 850.00 | ISBN 978 1 77022 397 4<br />

The soldiers of 32 Battalion were so feared by their<br />

enemies that they were called ‘the terrible ones’. This<br />

comprehensive two-volume work covers in detail the unit’s<br />

117 documented military operations from 1976 to 1993.<br />

This work builds a more complete picture than did<br />

Nortje’s first book on 32 Battalion, published in 2003.<br />

It is based on over 10 000 pages of documents in the<br />

Department of Defence Documentation Centre, which<br />

have only recently been declassified. Complementing<br />

the documentary evidence are 233 personal recollections:<br />

interviews that Nortje conducted with 32 Battalion<br />

members, as well<br />

as Portuguese,<br />

SWAPO, Cuban<br />

and Russian<br />

soldiers. Definitive<br />

and magisterial,<br />

In this extraordinary book, celebrated journalist Jacques Pauw<br />

gives a human face to some of the most tumultuous events in<br />

recent African history. Rat Roads chronicles the remarkable<br />

journey of Kennedy Gihana, a young Tutsi man who survived the<br />

genocide in Rwanda, committed horrifying atrocities in Africa’s<br />

bloodiest civil war and walked thousands of kilometres to South<br />

Africa, where he slept in parks, lived as a street child and worked<br />

as a low-paid security guard until he had saved enough money to<br />

enrol for a law degree. In 2011 he took the podium at the University<br />

of Pretoria to receive a master’s degree in law.<br />

Rat Roads combines many strands of what life in Africa, and<br />

South Africa, is like for a large proportion of people. Besides being<br />

the chronicle of one man’s unforgettable journey, it addresses<br />

topical issues such as civil conflict, xenophobia and the plight<br />

of refugees, and will open people’s eyes to the reality of life on<br />

the streets. It is a story of horror and adversity, and of triumph<br />

and hope.

After suffering through a year of ‘res’ food at university, Hein Scholtz was more than<br />

happy to dust off his apron and put his lifelong passion for food and cooking to good<br />

use when he moved into his first apartment. Now, after years of cooking healthy and<br />

inexpensive, yet satisfying meals for himself and friends, he presents Munch, an eclectic<br />

collection of recipes for students, young professionals and first-time cooks.<br />

Although it contains some classic ‘home’ cooking, Munch’s primary aim is to introduce<br />

the novice cook to an independent style of cooking that will have him/her producing<br />

meals that not only appeal to the palate (and the pocket), but also to the inner grown-up<br />

with the desire to impress. All 76 recipes in Munch make use of easily accessible<br />

ingredients and can be made in a basically stocked kitchen.<br />

Through the inclusion of social media, Munch provides a unique opportunity for<br />

interaction between reader, recipe and author.<br />

A deeply affecting story of a “karretjiemense” family. Kapok, his woman, Muis,<br />

and their three children are dirt-poor travellers who roam the Karoo in their<br />

donkey cart finding what work they can on farms. But this poor family is<br />

fleeing from Miskiet, the menacing brother of Muis’s betrothed Jan. Miskiet,<br />

jealous of the pair, raped Muis and then stabbed his brother to death.<br />

The blame was laid on a truck driver and Muis was too afraid to tell the truth.<br />

She was pregnant and when the child was born, she fled with Kapok on his<br />

karretjie. For fifteen years Miskiet and his knife has been waiting for them,<br />

believing Fansie to be his. And when starvation forces them back to Leeu<br />

Gamka, he finally has his chance. The tension builds to an unbearable point<br />

as the family criss-crosses the bleached, barren land, trying to stay ahead of<br />

Miskiet. After years of hiding away, Muis is now desperate to get identities<br />

for her children. Born as they are in the bush and moddergats, karretjie<br />

people have no birth certificates. They are illiterate, have no idea of their<br />

birthdays and no access to schooling. And if you don’t have “numbers”<br />

and “faces”, the police won’t worry if you die.<br />

The final stunning book<br />

in the Inheritance cycle<br />

featuring Eragon and his<br />

dragon Saphira.<br />

The breathtaking follow-up to Virals in the new forensic series from Sunday<br />

Times bestselling author Kathy Reichs. Heart-stopping forensic action with<br />

a lethal twist.<br />

Rumour has it that notorious pirate Anne Bonny hid her treasure<br />

somewhere in Charleston in 1720. No-one knows where, but Tory Brennan –<br />

great-niece of famous forensic anthropologist Dr Tempe Brennan – is<br />

certain that the Virals can work out Bonny’s cryptic clues.<br />

It isn’t long before the Virals are on the right track. But they aren’t the<br />

only ones searching for the treasure. Someone is following them, and will<br />

stop at nothing to get their hands on it.<br />

‘Reichs taps into the angst of teens,<br />

fear of separation and the uncertainty<br />

of today’s economy and wraps it all<br />

in an entertaining yarn of history,<br />

pirates and modern technology.’<br />
