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 />

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 />
Danie, maak nie saak wat nie.<br />

making money out of selling<br />

to others. Makers is about<br />
how all that is being reversed.<br />
The internet has democratised<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 />

Rhino horn is worth more than cocaine, heroin or even gold on the<br />
black markets of Southeast Asia. Now, Killing for Profit brings you<br />
the story of one man’s journey into a violent underworld where<br />
ruthless criminal syndicates will stop at nothing to attain their<br />
prize. It is a tale of greed and corruption, and of an increasingly<br />
desperate battle to save from extinction an animal that has existed<br />
for over 50 million years. Journalist Julian Rademeyer follows the<br />
bloody trail of the syndicates, poachers, smugglers, hunters and<br />
hustlers from the frontlines of the rhino wars in Zimbabwe and<br />
South Africa to the medicine markets of Vietnam, and into the lair<br />
of a wildlife-trafficking kingpin on the banks of the Mekong River<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 />

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 />

So when Amarra is killed in a<br />

But fifteen years of studying<br />
