Die vliegtuigwiele lig. Ek skeur los van Afrika. Uiteindelik begin my reis Engeland toe, om ponde te verdien. Niemand weet ek gaan by ’n brug in Londen afspring nie. Want ek is sat baklei teen ’n geldgemors wat ek eiehandig geskep het. Dobbel en foreign exchange het my sewentig maal sewe keer hel toe en terug gestuur. My sabbatsreis was ’n helnag in die hemel. Om dit te verwoord, het my ontbloot. Maar my dwingende behoefte om in my eie spieël te kyk, was nog nooit groter nie. Wat ek gesien het, het my laat terugdeins. En tog, gaandeweg, soos die mislaag op die spieël weggewasem het, het ek agter my in die spieël ’n skare gesigte gesien.
Soekers, soos ek ... Verlorenes. Blindes en heldersiendes. Vervloektes en geseëndes. Almal nes ek. Sodat ek nie anders kon nie, as om midde-in die spieëlskare in te stap. Want dalk lê die essensie van die lewe iewers in dié menigte. As ek nie daar gaan soek het nie, sou ek nooit weet nie. Dit was ’n ongelykpad wat my meermale té diep in myself laat verdwaal het. Algaande het ek egter my doolhof beter begryp, die ontrouheid van my lewensmaat, die aborsie. Dat ek die pad geloop het, enduit, het my verander. Uiteindelik kon my eie stem in harmonie kom met die neuriekoor, het ek besef dat elke aardling op sy eie sabbatsreis is. En kon ek uiteindelik tuiskom in die Kanaänland van melk en heuning – in myself.

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.
