Subtitle: The Fortunes of Frasers Author: Christopher Danziger Publisher: Purnell (1979) ISBN-10: 0868430242 ISBN-13: 9780868430249 Condition: Very Good Binding: Hardcover with dust jacket Pages: 147 Dimensions: 25.4 x 19.2 x 1.8 cm +++ by Christopher Danziger +++ Behind the concrete, plate glass and tubular shelving of the commercial giant into which Frasers Limited has grown today, is the intensely human story of two men who were prepared to risk everything they had on 'one turn of pitch and toss' in a lonely mountainous African chieftaincy over a hundred years ago. This is the account, first, of how their gamble paid off, less by good fortune than by strength of character and the courage of their convictions, and, second, how their stake was taken up and multiplied many times over by a line of men as robust and fiercely independent as themselves.

This ex-lib has the usual library goodies at the back - still in very good condition - no dustjacket   ****  A young-adult science fiction novel   -  Set in the year 2052, it depicts an authoritarian England divided into two distinct societies: the modern, overpopulated "Conurbs" and the aristocratic, rarefied "County". Crowded city districts and all-pervasive technology make up the Conurbs while manors and rolling countrysides typical of 19th-century England make up the County. The story follows a young Conurban orphan named Rob as he experiences life in both worlds, uncovering truths and choosing sides in the process. - Christopher and The Guardians won the annual Guardian Children's Fiction Prize from The Guardian newspaper, coincidentally, which is judged by a panel of British children's writers. In 1976 he won the Deutscher Jugendliteraturpreis in category youth fiction for the German-language edition, Die Wächter. -  In 1986 the German TV station ARD broadcast a film adaptation under that title. *** RECOMMENDED READING *** *N.B.*   If you buy more than one book from me you only pay R 6 postage on each additional book – see what else I have to offer, it might just be worth your while.

Christopher Hope, prize-winning author and renowned journalist, was six years old when he met his first dictator.  It was Dr Hendrik Verwoerd, friendly neighbour and architect of the brutal apartheid regime of South Africa.  Since then he has observed the cruelties and absurdities of tyranny in many places and among many peoples, most recently in the repeating patterns of repression instigated by Robert Mugabe in Zimbabwe. Brothers Under The Skin is an impassioned reflection on the all too familiar traits of tyranny: its wild paranoia, its murderous conviction of righteousness, and its inability to concede power, however small.  From Milosovic's Serbia to the killing fields of Matabeleland, Christopher Hope reveals the vainglorious essence of tyranny as being essentially the same, regardless of race, nation or ideology it claims to embody.  Bringing his unique experience and dazzling prose style to bear on the subject, he has produced a disturbing, yet amusing text that reveals the tragic absurdity of one man's lust for power. Soft cover, fair condition.  The cover is scuffed and creased in places.  279 pages.
