Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First American Edition. 0.71 x 8.55 x 5.77 Inches; 208 pages; The untold and heartbreaking account of the man who killed South Africa's architect of apartheid, one of the most dramatic political assassinations in modern history.If ever one individual could be said to have embodied the tragedy of apartheid, Dimitri Tsafas would be that man. At a time when color was all, Tsafas, bastard son of a Greek father and an African mother, was untouchable -- too black for the whites and too white for the blacks. Stateless, homeless, and loveless, on September 6, 1966, he entered South Africa's Parliament and stabbed Prime Minister Hrik Verwoerd four times with a long knife, killing the architect of apartheid, the architect of Tsafas's misery.Now, in a masterful restoration, Henk Van Woerden re-creates the assassin's cursed life and the impossibly torn society that created him. Unwanted by black or white family, denied the right to settle wherever he turns, Tsafas drifts from sea to prison, from kitchen hand to street vor, from Mozambique to Greece and Canada, and back to South Africa. With sensitivity and passion, Van Woerden traces the inexorable road that leads to Verwoerd's death, and reveals that the assassination -- a resounding blow in the war against apartheid -- was not the random act of a crazed individual, but perhaps the only choice left in a country itself gone mad. Powerful, tragic, and compelling, The Assassin is both a devastating indictment of oppression and a cautionary tale of the explosive power of racial hatred everywhere.

Azur, Coelin, Lapislazuli. Wie das Mittelmeer am Morgen, am Mittag und am Abend. Wie das Leben zwischen Werden und Vergehen. Und wie die Liebe, die Joakim und Aysel verbindet. Sie sind jung, als sie sich ineinander verlieben, unschuldig und doch verbotenerweise, denn sie sind Halbgeschwister. Der Vater, ein zum Islam übergetretener griechischer Jude, musste seine Heimat verlassen. Er lebt mit seiner zweiten Frau und den beiden Kindern, dem Sohn aus erster und der Tochter aus zweiter Ehe, auf der anderen Seite des Meeres, in der Türkei. Als er die Liebe der beiden entdeckt, schickt er Joakim für eine Weile in ein Militärlager. Bei Joakims Rückkehr ist Aysel verschwunden ? sie ist, was er nicht weiß, mit dem Vater nach Deutschland gezogen. In Frankfurt bringt Aysel eine Tochter zur Welt. Sie, Özlem, ist das Zentrum dieser sinnlichen Geschichte der Sehnsucht nach Nähe. Sie, die über ihre Vergangenheit nichts weiß, weil ihre Mutter darüber nicht spricht. Innerlich getrieben lockt sie schließlich der Zufall an den Ort ihrer unbekannten Herkunft, und wieder beginnt eine unschuldige, eine tragische Liebe. gutes Exemplar, ordentlich * Verlag: Berlin : Claassen * Bindung: gebundene Ausgabe, gebundene Ausgabe,
