Andre Pretorius is verlei deur Italie toe 'n Romeinse meisie hom in 1992 op 'n warrelwindtoer deur Rome geneem het. Vier jaar later het hy die land deurkruis met 'n universiteitsvriend, 'n rugsak en 'n tweemantent. Sedertien het hy teruggekeer op die spore van komponiste, kunstenaars en selfs Afrikaanse digters. In Italiaanse intermezzi bring hy die leser van aangesig tot aangesig met die vele gedaantes van hierdie land vol skoonheid en teenstrydigheid. Hy swig voor die wondere van die menslike gees in Rome en Venesie, maar hy verdwaal ook langs die agterpaadjies van Sicilie en die Abruzzi. Hy proe smake - balsemiek, Parmaham - uit die hande van die wat hierdie sakramente van lewe vir hulleself gemaak het. Hy bejeen heiliges en pouse eers met verwarring en dan met ontsag vir hul heerskappy van die Italiaanse wese. Oor die jare verander sy reisgenote - van daardie universiteitsvriend tot sy verloofde en uiteindelik sy kleuterseuntjie - en elke keer is sy blik anders. Uiteindelik staan hy saam met die leser verwonder oor 'n aangrypende land met dikwels verrassende eggo's van sy eie Afrikaanse wortels.

How we describe the condition of our books

We are very proud of the condition of the books we sell (please read our testimonials to find out more!)

New: Exactly as it says.

As New: Pretty much new but shows small signs of having been read; inside it will be clean without any inscriptions or stamps; might contain a remainder mark.

Very Good: Might have some creases on the spine; no hard cracks; maybe slight forward lean and short inscription inside; perhaps very minor bumping on the corners of the book; inside clean but the page edges might be slightly yellowed.

Good: A few creases on the spine, perhaps a forward lean, bumping on corners or shelfwear; maybe an inscription inside or some shelfwear or a small tear or two on the dustjacket; inside clean but page edges might be somewhat yellowed.

Fair: In overall good condition, might have a severe forward lean to the spine, an inscription, bumping to corners; one or two folds on the covers and yellowed pages; in exceptional cases these books might contain some library stamps and stickers or have neat sticky tape which was used to fix a short, closed tear.

Poor: We rarely sell poor condition books, unless the books are in demand and difficult to find in a better condition. Poor condition books are still perfect for a good read, all pages will be intact and none threatening to fall out; most probably a reading copy only.
