Kees Bruin: Visions of the Real
by John c stringer and Kees Bruin
Two years after graduating, Kees Bruin was exhibiting alongside Leo Bensemann, Don
Binney, Doris Lusk, Trevor Moffitt, Peter Siddell, Olivia Spencer-Bower, Grahame Sydney,
Robin White, and Brent Wong. For more than five decades of dedicated painterly
practice and exhibition, Kees Bruin has established a unique visionary identity within
the framework of New Zealand realism that is enthusiastically commissioned and
collected internationally. His three overlapping categories: photo-realism, super-realism
and what he terms “visionary-realism,” sprung from a personal search for all things
truth hence his clever use of symbol, have gifted us exquisite panoramic landscapes,
expressions of cultural pursuits such as surfing and skateboarding often imbued with
metaphor, single and group portraits, reinterpretations of masters, especially the Dutch
Golden Age, elaborated ‘still-lifes’ and works that explore elements of western Judaeo-
Christian histories combined with contemporaneous fashions, settings and views to and
from the earth. This personal genre launches us as art viewers into emotional odysseys
of timeless human concern: Spirituality, the universe, beauty, truth, life and death, sex,
betrayal, vanity and loss, as well as using paint to express beauty for its own sake.

Rise by siya Kolisi
‘Siya Kolisi is a warrior on the field and an inspiration off it. This book is an extraordinary reminder
of what can be achieved with inner belief and an indefatigable spirit.’ JAY SHETTY ‘Siya’s story is well
documented, and I am so impressed by the way he conducts himself. As the captain of his team and
as a statesman he is measured and thoughtful. He is a leader in every way. An inspiration to a dynamic
South African nation.’ EDDIE JONES His truth. His story. In his words. There have been many comments
made and books written about Siya Kolisi, captain of the Springboks, and the first black man to lead his
country in over 128 years of South African rugby. But now, for the very first time, Siya Kolisi shares his
story in an extraordinarily intimate memoir, charting his journey from being born into the impoverished
Zwide township, to leading his proud nation to an astonishing victory at the Rugby World Cup in 2019.
However, Rise is not simply a chronology of matches played and games won; it is an exploration of a
man’s race and his faith, a masterclass in attaining a positive mindset, and an inspirational reminder
that it is possible to defy the odds, no matter how they are stacked against you. In 2020, partly in
response to the pandemic, Siya and his wife, Rachel, launched The Kolisi Foundation, providing personal
protective equipment to healthcare workers and delivering food parcels throughout South Africa. The
title Rise is inspired by Siya’s mother - Phakama - which translates to the book’s name, as well as a
celebration of his Xhosa heritage.
Leap of Faith
by Frankie dettori
When Lanfranco ‘Frankie’ Dettori arrived on British shores in 1985, aged just 14, he couldn’t speak a
word of English. Having left school just a year earlier and following in the footsteps of his father, he was
eager to become a stable boy and apprentice jockey, willing to do everything it took to make it. This was
his first, but certainly not his last, leap of faith. Despite his slight size, Frankie’s impact upon the British
racing scene was immediate and significant. Brimming with confidence, charisma and personality, and
with what was clearly a precocious talent, in 1990 he became the first teenager since Lester Piggot to
win over 100 races in a single season. By 1996, Frankie was already established as a celebrity in the
sport and an adopted national treasure, but it was his extraordinary achievement of winning all seven
races in a single day at Ascot that cemented his reputation as the greatest rider of his generation. Nearly
25 years later, and having won the Longines World’s Best Jockey for three consecutive years running,
Frankie has demonstrated an unparalled level of longevity at the pinnacle of his sport. But his story is not
simply one of uninterrupted success, but also of personal anguish, recovery and restoration – both in and
out of the saddle.. Heartfelt and poignant, this is not simply a memoir, but a celebration of perseverance
and defying the odds.
Little Bird of Auschwitz
by alina & Jacques Peretti
As a reporter, Jacques Peretti has spent his life investigating important stories. But there was one story, heard in
scattered fragments throughout his childhood, that he never thought to investigate. The story of how his mother
survived Auschwitz.
In the few last months of the War, thirteen-year-old Alina Peretti, along with her mother and sister, was one of
thirteen thousand non-Jewish Poles sent to Auschwitz, in the wake of the Warsaw Uprising. Her experiences there,
which she rarely discussed, cast a shadow over the rest of her life. Now ninety, Alina has been diagnosed with
dementia. Together, mother and son begin a race against time to record her memories and preserve her family’s
story. For the first time, Alina recalls her experiences as a child during the Second World War, the horrors that she
witnessed in Auschwitz, and the miraculous story of how she survived a firing squad.
Along the way, Jacques learns long-hidden secrets about his mother’s family; his mysterious grandfather who lived
a double-life, his grandmother who read tarot cards in a Soviet labour camp, and his aunt and uncles, whose fate
he never knew. He also gains an understanding of his mother through retracing her past, learning more about the
woman who would never let him call her ‘Mum’.
