SIGNED   BY JEFF OPLAND.   University of Kwazulu-Natal Press, . Hard cover, 389 pages. Immaculate condition.   Under 1kg. This book chronicles the life, times and poetry of extraordinary Xhosa praise poet, the late David Yali-Manisi, and his growing friendship and fruitful working relationship with the author. Jeff Opland is a renowned scholar who is recognised world-wide as a foremost authority on Xhosa izibongo or praises. His perceptive account gives insight not only into Manisi himself, but the complex art form of praise poetry - a spontaneous performance art of extraordinary subtlety and sophistication that, as Opland notes, embodies in itself the ancestral culture, history and politics of the Xhosa nation.What is unique about this book is the personal dimension that Opland brings to the subject, fusing impeccable scholarship with self-reflective and autobiographical narrative. The book incorporates a variety of styles, from autobiographical to verbatim interview, and its shift of voice reflect the author's own internal journey as his deepening friendship with Manisi works its humanising alchemy. Opland assumes, increasingly, the role of conduit for Manisi's dynamic but tragically undervalued talent.The book is a celebration of the supreme talent of a gifted African poet, and the interaction of a black and a white South African reaching out to each other.

SIGNED BY AUTHOR. 2004. Hard cover. 240 pages. Very good condition. Under 1kg. During the twentieth century, popular opinion about the Boer War underwent a fascinating and telling metamorphosis From Dolly Gray to Sarie Marais gives recognition to a largely unacknowledged but substantial body of popular historical writing over a period of one hundred years that reflects hopes, fears, perceptions and prejudices and memories of ordinary people: popular memory in fiction. The writing about the Boer War in the popular press and fiction provides vivid insights into what ordinary people thought and felt (or were supposed to have thought or felt) about the Anglo-Boer conflict. But more than that, popular culture often gives vivid and interesting insights into the contemporary concerns of writers and their readers of a particular era. In this respect it often maps interesting historical and ideological changes in the South African experience from imperialism through union to the Apartheid era.

Signed by Chris Schoeman. 2011. Hard cover with dust cover; 248 pages. Very good condition. Publisher sticker in front. Under 1kg. At the outbreak of the Second Anglo-Boer war in 1899, a large number of Hollanders and Dutch expatriates joined the Boers, their reasons ranging from loyalty to their common ancestry to strong anti-British sentiments and a search for adventure. Brothers in arms documents the trials and tribulations of these volunteers – most of them unaccustomed to the harsh landscape and climate of South Africa.  Quotations and personal anecdotes from their diaries and memoirs vividly bring to life their hardships on commando, the thunder and chaos of battle, and the trauma of comrades falling around them. Some of the prominent figures in the book are Cornelius van Gogh, brother of the painter Vincent van Gogh; the Dutch artist Frans Oerder, who became the Transvaal’s first official war artist; Jochem van Bruggen, four-times winner of the coveted Hertzog Prize for Afrikaans literature; and Rev. Herman van Broekhuizen, who played rugby for South Africa in 1896 and later served as South African ambassador in The Hague.  Brothers in Arms   covers the full spectrum of the Hollanders' roles as soldiers at the various battle fronts, ambulance personnel and military attaches, and their life in prisoner-of-war camps overseas.
