Torn between his adoration for his wife and young son and the irresistible draw of the criminal underworld, Shatterproof Bhekuzulu is headstrong, smart, cunning, and strangely endearing. The Lazarus of the tsotsi world, Shatterproof dithers between his need for redemption and his love for illicit scheming. Violent, funny, and intriguing, this story paints a colorful picture of a South African hustler during the apartheid—one so magnetic it hurts to watch him dig his own grave, one disastrous decision at a time. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
The North Wind and the Sun are having a competition to see who is the stronger. The Wind blows and blows. Leaves fall off the trees, ships start sinking, all the animals are frightened. Surely nothing can top this. The Wind has to be the more powerful. But does the Sun know something the Wind doesn't? (paperback reissue of ISBN 0-19-272168-2) No library descriptions found. |

In this classic tale, the North Wind and the Sun have a challenge to see who can get the horseman to remove his cloak. The North Wind blows with all his might, and while leaves blow about, ships sink in the harbor, and the animals are frightened, the horseman only draws his cloak tighter about himself. When the Sun takes his turn and begins to shine, birds sing, the animals take a rest, the people come out to gossip, and the horseman removes his cloak (along with all his clothes) to go take a cooling swim in the river. The moral is that persuasion is more effective than force. ( )
