Sobre este artículo
Human & Rousseau, 2000. First Edition. Softcover. Very Good. Afrikaans text. The wraps are a touch rubbed and edge worn. The corners are beginning to crease slightly outwards. Internally, the pages are unmarked, crisp and square. The half title page has a previous owner's signature on it. There are no other markings within aside from this. The binding is tight and the book charming. JV. K.. Our orders are shipped using tracked courier delivery services.
Sinopsis
Please deliver me, Lady, of prattle and cant As I bury one hundred years of war and want Evoking an extraordinary range of settings and images--from "Africa where blood blackens / and tiny desert creatures have to lick / the dew from their flanks to survive" to the havens of exile, and the "snow once again over Paris / this morning sheeting light / under grey blankets"--this searching verse explores love and loss, light and darkness, war and want, and wounds that do not heal. The texture of nostalgic, sometimes bitter memories of childhood in Breytenbach's African homeland is as palpable here as the vigorous exultation of love found amid the ruins of an earlier life. And pervading all the experience rendered is a sense of wonder and awe that "the light lies silvery smooth / in the furrows dug by the farmer / to lead astray the drought / and bring succour to the runner beans, / the maize, tomatoes, melons, peppers, / onions, garlic, potatoes / and love."
