The weather of before : versions of the Xhosa cattle killings in 1856McClenaghan, Kim January 2001 (has links)
Every place has its own secrets. They lie just below the surface of the land, never quite sure of the story they might form. They are the unmentionables, the words that no one dares utter; but still they lie there, as part of a history that remains untold.

Poesie en religie : 1) gelykenisse ; 2) die religieuse tematiek in die gedigte van tagtig met spesifieke verwysing na T.T. Cloete se Job-gedigteErasmus, Gerald Frederick January 2012 (has links)
Includes abstract. / Includes bibliographical references. / This dissertation investigates the incidence of the religious thematics in the work of Afrikaans poets who published around the eighties of the previous century, with specific reference to the Job poems of T.T. Cloete. By using various theoretical works the concept religious was discussed as well as the character of a poem with a religious thematics. Six evaluation principles were formulated which were used to analyse poems in order to establish whether the abstraction, that is religion, was transformed into an independent concrete poem. Works of Du Buisson, Pretorius, Riccio, Santayana, Snyman, Van der Colf and others were used as the theoretical basis.

Asylum storyLow, Marcus January 2009 (has links)
Includes abstract. / asylum story is a short literary novel set in South Africa in the year 2019. The protagonist is infected with a deadly new respiratory disease and being held in a quarantine facility near a fictional town in the Karoo. The novel spans a six-month period during which the protagonist becomes involved in an ultimately failed attempt to escape. The novel is partly inspired by the Department of Health's decision in 2007 to place patients with drug-resistant strains of tuberculosis into quarantine. Many patients died in this enforced captivity. Conditions in some facilities were reportedly very poor and in 2008 there was a high-profile escape from the Jose Pearson quarantine facility. Though the disease in the novel is not drug-resistant tuberculosis, it is something similar, and the response to the fictional disease is comparable in some ways to the real-life medical response to the TB scare. The novel is set in a universe that is similar but different to our own, allowing the exploration of universal themes without the constraint of a rigid representation of current reality.

A magic prisonBuchanan, Emily January 2013 (has links)
Includes abstract.|Includes bibliographical references. / When Megan’s aged and addled father goes missing in Lahaina, Maui, where he has been living most of his adult life, she must decide whether and how she should help to find him. As a child, she knew him only through their two weeks together each December; as a young adult, she had to deal with the consequences of his alcoholism and her stepsister’s accusation that he molested her. Now Megan is fortyone, married to Steven and the mother of a young daughter, Jess; but she is her father’s only child and her stepmother needs her help. As Megan returns to Maui she recalls her Christmases with her father. Both good and bad memories are evoked as she searches for him: from the delights of snorkelling, the horrors of a cock fight, and the stories of the locals, to the beauty of the tropical landscape. We follow her as she visits the once-isolated community of Hansen’s disease sufferers at Kalaupapa, on Molokai; tracks down her stepsister where she is working at the landmark Pioneer Inn, and walks through the historical sites of ancient Lahaina, once the home of Hawaiian royalty. We discover what it is like to work at a commercial luau and how she became a chef on Kauai.

The second beastLouw, Julia Smuts January 2007 (has links)

When we first meet them, the two main characters, Mia and Cassie, are grieving the loss of another character, Sam, to an act of random violence. Each bears some measure of indirect guilt in relation to Sam's death, and each finds ways to avoid confronting it. Herein lies the seed of the book's main theme: frustrated catharsis.
