In Eben Venter se roman Santa Gamka word ’n politieke revolusie lyflik vertolk: Die seun van ’n plaaswerker in die Karoo vier sy vryheid in die Nuwe Suid-Afrika deur ’n rentboy te word. Santa Gamka is die verhaal van Lucky Marais wat op ’n Karoodorpie ’n bestaan maak deur sewe kliënte tevrede te hou, en dié kliënte kom van albei kante van die verdelings wat steeds deur ras, klas en geslag gemerk word. Maar is hierdie demokrasie van begeerte volhoubaar? Want op slot van sake vertel Lucky sy verhaal vanuit ’n pottebakkersoond waarin hy deur ’n wrewelige boer gestop is. Die Karoo wat Venter so aangrypend deur beeld en idioom voor oë roep, is een waarin rassisme, armoede en geweld nog so aanvoelbaar teenwoordig is soos gannabos en klip. Venter toon meesterlik aan hoe politieke omwentelings immer deel is van die lewe se ewige siklusse van opkoms en val. *ATKV-prosaprys; M-Net-prys;W.A Hofmeyr-prys; Some edge wear*

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.
