In samewerking met Human & Rousseau
Jeremy Vearey se epiese oorlogsroman, Rooisand, speel af in Namaland – van Duits-Suidwes-Afrika tot die Kaapkolonie. Die hoofkarakter, Dirk Aruseb, was sewentien toe Abraham Morris hom uit die Pella-weeshuis kom haal het om by die Bondelswarts aan te sluit. By Schansvlakte moet hy eers selfdissipline aanleer: wees nederig, wees geduldig, en leer dat oorlog nie ’n speletjie is nie. Vind jou eland, tem jou janfiskaal. Kom sluit aan vir ’n fassinerende gesprek oor ’n deel van ons land en sy geskiedenis waaroor daar nog min geskryf is.

In collaboration with Human & Rousseau
Jeremy Vearey’s epic war novel, Crimson Sands, is set in Namaland – from German South-West Africa to the Cape Colony. The main character, Dirk Aruseb, was seventeen when Abraham Morris fetched him from the Pella orphanage to join the Bondelswarts. At Schansvlakte, he had to learn to master himself: be humble, be patient, and know that war is not a game. Find your eland, tame your butcherbird. Join us for a fascinating conversation about a part of our country and its history about which very little has been written.
