This is the story of Karoliena Kapp, a child of the forest born into a community of woodcutters. Fate singles her out to be different: bright and beautiful, she knows and understands the forest in all its moods. She is given the advantage of a good education, but it serves only to heighten her growing realisation that, because of the harsh injustices of poverty, there is little hope for the woodcutters.       Her beauty and intelligence attract the attention of Johannes, himself of woodcutter stock, but now a respected and successful businessman in the village. The day after her marriage to him Karoliena realises that she has made the wrong choice. She may have escaped from the poverty of the forest, but she has exchanged her freedom for a cage. Alone and afraid, she leaves her husband and takes the road back to the forest, where she will have to find her own life's purpose. About the author: Over the years Dalene Matthee has divided her time between music, metaphysics, astronomy, and history, and has written first children’s stories, then short stories and novels.

Africa is eminently quotable… The African continent has been home to spectacularly eloquent human beings: rebellious anti-colonial leaders and anti-apartheid activists, comical geniuses, brazen dictators, pensive and philosophical authors and intellectuals. Africa’s body of proverbial wisdom alone could fill many volumes. Our continent is eminently quotable, yet not so readily quoted. Quotable Africa is a resource book of substance, and is long overdue.       Quotable Africa covers the whole of Africa – from north to south and east to west - and includes memorable words from people like Koffi Annan, Miriam Makeba, V.S. Naipaul, Paul Theroux, Ernest Hemingway, and thousands of others. About the author: Julia Stewart has a master's degree in African Studies from Ohio University. She has lived in Africa for many years - in Kenya, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Rwanda and Angola - and now resides in South Africa and works for the UN World Food Programme. She has spent 16 years putting together more than 5 000 entries of quotes by Africans and about Africa. The subjects she covers range from the universal to those that are strongly associated with the African experience.

The first people of South Africa, stone age hunters and gatherers from the mountains and the arid flats of the interior, did not survive the arrival of settlers from Europe. Within decades an ancient world of sorcerers, hunters and artists was lost forever, along with the stories they told.       We would know next to nothing of their myths, their beliefs or the rituals that governed their lives if it were not for six people, five of whom were men taken to Cape Town and imprisoned between 1869 and 1870. Released into the rural home of a Prussian linguist called Wilhelm Bleek and his English-born sister-in-law, a former governess called Lucy Lloyd, they were invited to teach their language and to share a previously unknown world on the verge of extinction.       Over the next eighteen years Wilhelm Bleek and Lucy Lloyd worked together to record 12,000 pages of stories, songs, pictures and moving personal histories. The notebooks answer questions about ancient rock art, describe the awful tragedy of a vanished people and tell us something about the long story shared by everyone alive today-but they also tell a remarkable story of their own.
