The Runaway Horses
Two sets of cousins, Boer and Brit, find their destinies inexorably intertwined in the politics and mayhem that led up to and encompassed the Anglo Boer War of 1899-1902. From Transvaal to Victorian England, the cousins form strong bonds, which are tested on the battlefields of South Africa. Martin de Winter, nurtured to lead his country of birth, Transvaal, into the twentieth century, instead finds himself excelling as a gifted young general, fighting a desperate war to keep his nation from ruins, all the while being haunted by his love for a British woman. James Henderson, cavalry officer, is forced by his father, a military aristocrat, to marry or face expulsion from his regiment. Bound f...
The Hanged Man
JOINT WINNER OF THE 2002 NED KELLY AWARD FOR TRUE CRIME NON-FICTION COMMENDED FOR THE 2003 NATIONAL BIOGRAPHY AWARD Ronald Joseph Ryan was hanged in Melbourne on 3 February 1967, following his conviction for the shooting murder of a prison warder during a daring escape from the maximum-security Pentridge prison thirteen months before. The decision of the Victorian government in December 1966 to proceed with Ryan’s death sentence sparked immediate media condemnation and angry political protests, and put the Liberal premier, Sir Henry Bolte, under siege for the duration of the case. State governments around the country moved to abolish the death penalty in the 1970s and 1980s, and Ronald Rya...

Cidade de Espiões
Uma grande história de espionagem na Lisboa da Segunda Guerra Mundial. Lisboa, 1943. Quando é descoberta, a agente especial Elisabeth de Mornay foge de Paris. Perseguida pela Gestapo, consegue chegar a Lisboa, território neutro onde a elite europeia convive lado a lado com diplomatas, homens de negócios, ladrões e espiões. Um paraíso em plena guerra. Ou talvez não. Elisabeth recebe uma nova identidade e novas ordens: assumindo o nome de Solange Verin, riquíssima viúva francesa, terá de se infiltrar numa célula alemã que visa atacar navios dos Aliados, antes que mais militares britânicos sejam assassinados. Com um oficial da Gestapo no seu encalço, o perigo aumenta à medida que se aproxima da verdade. Elisabeth está determinada, mas haverá alguém em quem possa confiar, numa Lisboa em que ninguém é quem diz ser?
Postcolonial Polysystems
"Postcolonial Polysystems: The Production and Reception of Translated Children s Literature in South Africa" is an original and provocative contribution to the field of children s literature research and translation studies. It draws on a variety of methodologies to provide a perspective, both product- and process-oriented, on the ways in which translation contributes to the production of children s literature in South Africa, with a special interest in language and power, as well as post- and neocolonial hybridity. The book explores the forces that affect the use of translation in producing children s literature in various languages in South Africa, and shows how some of these forces precipitate in the selection, production and reception of translated children s books in Afrikaans and English. It breaks new ground in its interrogation of aspects of translation theory within the multilingual and postcolonial context of South Africa, as well as in its innovative experimental investigation of the reception of domesticating and foreignising strategies in translated picture books. The book has won the 2013 EST Young Scholar Prize."

South African Theatre as/and Intervention
One of the most striking features of cultural life in South Africa has been the extent to which one area of cultural practice - theatre - has more than any other testified to the present condition of the country, now in transition between its colonial past and a decolonized future. But in what sense and how far does the critical force of theatre in South Africa as a mode of intervention continue? In the immediate post-election moment, theatre seemed to be pursuing an escapist, nostalgic route, relieved of its historical burden of protest and opposition. But, as the contributors to this volume show, new voices have been emerging, and a more complex politics of the theatre, involving feminist ...
