About This Item
(Cape Town: Human & Rousseau, 2005) 0798145242. 8vo; original black boards; laminated pictorial dustwrapper; pp. 251. Dustwrapper and bottom edges of boards a little rubbed; small donor label to front pastedown, and church shop hand-stamp to title page; pocket remnant to front free endpaper; few tape marks to endpapers. Good to very good condition. Afrikaans text. 'Dokumente vermeld dat Kupido Kakkerlak omstreeks 1760 tot 1825 geleef het. Maar Kupido is nie gebore nie, 'n arend het hom gebring. En in daardie tyd het 'n bidsprinkaan verskyn: 'n teken van die gode. Wonderwerke het soos optelgoed op die aarde rondgelê. In die aardsheid van Afrika en die eeue oue sfeer van magiesheid en drome, geweld en hartstog laat Kupido hom ken as drinker, bakleier, minnaar, leuenaar - en die eerste Khoi wat as sendeling aan die Kaap die Goeie Hoop georden is. Die raaisel van 'n mens se lewe word ten beste deur die verbeelding benader. 'n Glansende roman, geslyp op humor en pynlike verlies, diepgaande vertwyfeling en geloof. "En voor jou uit, hoog bo, lê die blink sterstreep om vir jou pad te wys. Soontoe. Sóóntoe." ' .
