Spoorvat: Jeugherinneringe van Afrikaanse Skrywers
Share
As skrywers het hulle reeds naam gemaak; hulle het literêre pryse gewen, die harte van lesers verower, diep spore getrap in die Afrikaanse kultuurwêreld ... Ons ken hulle as openbare figure, as skeppers van verhale en romans en rubrieke, maar wat is die intiemste, mooiste en selfs pynlikste jeug herinneringe van ons bekendste Afrikaanse skrywers? Was hulle as kinders reeds sensitiewe waarnemers, kunstenaars in wording? Hoe het hulle hul jeug beleef? En hoe word hierdie jeug herinneringe verwerk in hul tekste as gesofistikeerde skrywers?
Riana Scheepers en Leti Kleyn (samestellers van die trefferboek Die Afrikaanse Skryfgids) het skrywers gevra om hul kinder- of jeug ervarings te woord te stel. Daar was geen beperkings of voorskrifte nie, maar slegs gepubliseerde skrywers is om bydraes gevra.
Die resultaat is 'n unieke bloemlesing van 36 skrywers met die evokatiewe titel Spoorvat. Saam met ons skrywers vat ons die spoor terug na die verlede; 'n verlede wat net so kleurvol, vrolik, hartseer, innig en uiteenlopend is soos die mense van hierdie land.
Spoorvat is 'n belangrike bloemlesing, nie net omdat dit voortreflike tekste bevat van skrywers wat reeds hul kleim afgesteek het nie, maar omdat dit terselfdertyd ook unieke outobiografiese sketse is. Die leser kry 'n intieme en eerlike blik op die leefwêreld van 'n jong kind wat later in sy/haar lewe groot hoogtes bereik het.

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.
