hardcover. Condition: Very Good in Dustjacket. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition. London. 1978. John Calder. 1st British Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. 0714536962. Translated from the Afrikaans by Denis Hirson. 144 pages. hardcover. Jacket design by Yolande Breytenbach. keywords: Africa South Africa Literature Afrikaans Poetry World Literature. DESCRIPTION - Breyten Breytenbach, the outstanding South African poet of today, who writes in Africaans, has been an international cause cElEbre since his arrest in 1975 for marrying an Asian woman. For this, and for alleged anti-apartheid activities, he was sentenced to nine years in prison and has so far spent most of his time in solitary confinement. The conscience of the world has been stirred and there are now Breytenbach committees agitating for his release from Berlin to San Francisco. but the South African government seems not only determined to keep him in prison, but occasionally announces further 'crimes', such as an alleged escape attempt. There are many reports of torture and he has been allowed no visitors. This collection of poetry and short prose reveals that the 38 year old poet is indeed a major modern figure in world literature, with a genuine social conscience and an ability to convey love as well as suffering, compassion as well as anger. The poems have been translated by Denis Hirson, a South African poet now living in Paris, who has delicately rendered them into idiomatic English, leaving a few in Africaans to face the English translations. Breytenbach was given a special award by the committee of the International Publishers Prize in May 1978 with simultaneous publication in seven European Countries. inventory #1585.
