Cape Town

Marc — Fri, 12 Apr 2013 14:35:21 +0000

***over 25 000 copies sold***

Cape Town is a place of haunting natural beauty and captivating urban charm on Africa’s southernmost peninsula. Here, under the spellbinding influence of Table Mountain, jagged cliffs tumble steeply into the sea; mountain faces tower above unspoilt beaches; an indigenous floral kingdom garlands the mountains and valleys; and vineyards embrace the city in a patchwork of vivid colours. Gerald Hoberman presents an insightful portrait of the city’s history, its architectural heritage and its vibrant, creative people. Informative text accompanying the photographs blends historical detail with current knowledge. Cape Town is an inspiring book, a celebration of diversity. But above all else, it is a rich offering to all who share a profound love for South Africa’s Mother City.

Kaapse Klopse

Marc — Mon, 24 Sep 2012 13:27:23 +0000

In a unique cultural statement, Kaapse Klopse features the colourful and lively Cape Town Minstrel Carnival, held for the first three days of the New Year. The music and dance style of the ‘Kaapse Klopse’ (Cape Minstrels) was influenced by the North American minstrel troupes that visited the Cape in the late 1880s. Traditionally, the colourful and lively minstrels cavort through the city, singing and dancing to the sound of banjos, tubas, guitars, ghoema drums and whistles. The book features extraordinary contemporary photographs of this event by Gerald Hoberman, with an historical overview as well as unique photographs of District Six and Bo-Kaap, taken by him in 1969. The entertaining and insightful traditional minstrel songs are published with English translations for the first time – a valuable contribution to the cultural history of the Cape.

South Africa’s Floral Kingdom

Marc — Mon, 24 Sep 2012 13:25:05 +0000

South Africa’s forests, savannas, shrublands and grasslands are home to some 22 000 species of wildflowers, many of great beauty. Proteas with flower heads like painted cups or bristling pincushions jostle for space in the fynbos shrublands among brush-like reeds and heathers studded with shiny tubular florets. Curiously shaped succulents, many bearing glossy flowers that reflect the midday glare, thrive in the drier parts; and a host of colourful bulbs and annual herbs brighten the spring countryside. The region may account for as much as 10 percent of the world’s wildflower species, and each year sees the addition of newly discovered species to the growing list. This delightful little volume is the collaboration of the celebrated photographer Gerald Hoberman and Dr John Manning, a world-renowned authority on the South African flora.
