Jan Smuts: Afrikaner Sonder Grense
Share
JAN CHRISTIAAN SMUTS WAS ‘N SOLDAAT, staatsman, intellektueel en een van Suid-Afrika se grootste leiers. Tog word daar vandag min oor hom gepraat of geskryf, al beleef ons tans skynbaar ‘n leierskapsvakuum.
In Afrikaner sonder Grense voer Richard Steyn aan dat ons hierdie indrukwekkende kryger-staatsman se lewe en denke moet herbesoek, omdat daar soveel te leer is uit sy merkwaardige prestasies.
Diê hoogs leesbare boek ondersoek onder meer Smuts se rol as politieke leier en as adviseur van wêreldleiers, sy geestelike en intellektuele lewe en sy verhoudings met vroue. Sy unieke bydraes op ‘n verskeidenheid ander terreine, insluitend botanie, bewaring en filosofie, word ook bespreek.
Afrikaner sonder Grense skram egter nie weg van die teenstrydige in Smuts nie. Hoewel hy een van die argitekte van die Verenigde Nasies en ‘n groot kampvegter vir menseregte was, het hy die swart meerderheid by die politiek van die land uitgesluit.

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.
