Wanneer hulle haar vermoorde suster se woonstel opruim, ontdek Lizet Vos Marina se bucket list. En van toe af probeer sy om alles te doen wat op dié lysie is, al is al die gewaagde, gevaarlike dinge eintlik heel teen haar aard. Haar droom om eendag te trou en kinders kry te hê, skuif sy ver agtertoe. Totdat haar broer Evan se lewe met Anya Breedt verstrengel raak en Anya se broer Stephen en sy dogtertjie Soekie deel word van familiekuiers. Stephen se lewe het mooi volgens plan verloop. Hy het die groot stap geneem om sy eie platemaatskappy te begin, ’n jarelange droom, maar toe word sy vrou siek en voor hy kan asemskep, is sy weg en sy lewe heeltemal omver gewerp. En terwyl hy spartel om al die balle in die lug te hou, word die Vos-familie deel van sy gesin se lewe en begin Lizet Vos met haar donker hare en blou oë hom hinder. Om alles te kroon, is Soekie vanjaar in haar klas. Hy vermy enige besoek aan die skool, maar hy kan nie die uitnodiging om klasbesoek te doen na ses maande, ignoreer nie. Hy wil hom nog vererg vir Lizet, maar dan wys sy vir hom die tekening wat Soekie gemaak het. Lizet en Stephen moet beide opnuut hulle eie drome ontdek voor hulle lewe weer sin kan maak. Om weer te droom is die tweede roman in ’n reeks uit die pen van Elsa Winckler, en bou voort op die verhaal in Ware Noord, wat in Maart 2015 verskyn het.

Alexander is autistic. When he is nine years old he is found dead in a bath of water. The only other person in the house at the time is his mother Ingrid. The circumstances arouse suspicion and the police take Ingrid into custody. Did she murder her child? And who could blame her if she did? She has had nine years of hell with her uncontrollable child, all those she cares about have deserted her, and not even the church has come to her assistance. Her efforts to find help for Alexander have left her bankrupt and she is emotionally and physically depleted. If it were not for Miriam and Gunter, she would surely never have endured the nine years... In this haunting novel Annelie Botes exposes the tragedy of autism and its devastating effect on families. Searingly honest, it brings home the inescapable truth that society can be cruelly indifferent to whatever it perceives to be aberrant.

The acclaimed author of Jesus' Son and Already Dead returns with a beautiful, haunting, and darkly comic novel. The Name of the World is a mesmerizing portrait of a professor at a Midwestern university who has been patient in his grief after an accident takes the lives of his wife and child and has permitted that grief to enlarge him. Michael Reed is living a posthumous life. In spite of outward appearances -- he holds a respectable university teaching position; he is an articulate and attractive addition to local social life -- he's a dead man walking. Nothing can touch Reed, nothing can move him, although he observes with a mordant clarity the lives whirling vigorously around him. Of his recent bereavement, nearly four years earlier, he observes, "I'm speaking as I'd speak of a change in the earth's climate, or the recent war." Facing the unwelcome end of his temporary stint at the university, Reed finds himself forced "to act like somebody who cares what happens to him. " Tentatively he begins to let himself make contact with a host of characters in this small academic town, souls who seem to have in common a tentativeness of their own. In this atmosphere characterized, as he says, "by cynicism, occasional brilliance, and small, polite terror," he manages, against all his expectations, to find people to light his way through his private labyrinth. Elegant and incisively observed, The Name of the World is Johnson at his best: poignant yet unsentimental, replete with the visionary imaginative detail for which his work is known. Here is a tour de force by one of the most astonishing writers at work today.

Thirteen new stories by the celebrated writer, including two which he considers his greatest achievements to date, artfully blend elements from many literary geares.

Hendrik Petrus Berlage, the Dutch architect and architectural philosopher, created a series of buildings and a body of writings from 1886 to 1909 that were among the first efforts to probe the problems and possibilities of modernism. Although his Amsterdam Stock Exchange, with its rational mastery of materials and space, has long been celebrated for its seminal influence on the architecture of the 20th century, Berlage's writings are highlighted here. Bringing together Berlage's most important texts, among them "Thoughts on Style in Architecture", "Architecture's Place in Modern Aesthetics", and "Art and Society", this volume presents a chapter in the history of European modernism. In his introduction, Iain Boyd Whyte demonstrates that the substantial contribution of Berlage's designs to modern architecture cannot be fully appreciated without an understanding of the aesthetic principles first laid out in his writings.
