Die Vis wat Knor en ander Vistermanstories
R38.00
Quick Overview
Visse is nogal hulpvaardig. Die see is in 'n ommesientjie die ene witperdjies en jy weet jy moet land toe, maar jou boot se splinternuwe enjin verseg om te werk. Skielik praat 'n skor stem uit die vislaai. Dis 'n rooisteenbras wat met 'n effense geroer van borsvinne vir jou raad gee. Noem jou op jou naam en sê dis die boonste vonkpropdraad wat los is.
Visse is nogal hulpvaardig. Die see is in 'n ommesientjie die ene witperdjies en jy weet jy moet land toe, maar jou boot se splinternuwe enjin verseg om te werk. Skielik praat 'n skor stem uit die vislaai. Dis 'n rooisteenbras wat met 'n effense geroer van borsvinne vir jou raad gee. Noem jou op jou naam en sê dis die boonste vonkpropdraad wat los is. Van sulke vistermanervarings vertel Alsoon Wessels. Van bloedoortappings op die diepsee en van 'n perlemoen wat ongemerk 'n hengelaar ontvoer. En van 'n sterkman wat krewe aan sy borshare inryg of visse met sy groottoon uittrek. Alsoon stel jou voor aan strandmense soos Hendrik, wat eerder patrioties sing as Engels praat, maar nog "once upon a time the burger master of Goose Bay" gaan word, en aan die wetsgehoorsame Mosselvroutjie wat op 'n dag die kluts kwytraak terwyl sy haar kwota mossels tel. Sy stories wys die vrolike, die snaakse en die amperse hartseerkant van die lewe. Soos Abel vir die Here sê toe hy sy kindjie se driewiel vir 'n krans moes verruil: “Die lewe is darem skeef: môre hou ons begrafnis op Kleinmond en Sondag eet ons al weer doopkoek op Velddrif ..."

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.
