Description du livre hardcover. 1st edition. London. 1980. Hodder & Stoughton. 1st British Edition. Previous Owner's Inscription in Front, Otherwise Very Good in Dustjacket. 034025047x. 359 pages. hardcover. . keywords: Literature South Africa . FROM THE PUBLISHER - 'Its remarkable understatement conveys this story a black pilgrim's journey through a temporal dimension with epic breadth and dramatic intensity and turns it into an unforgettable experience for the reader. A Vision of human bondage: perhaps that is where the eventual grandeur of this gipping book lies.' - ANDRE BRINK. Poppie is the story of a family over three generations, and of one woman's struggle to keep it together in the teeth of a system which makes life a sequence of uprooting and separation. For Poppie and her family are black and live in present day South Africa. Though her story spans Sharpeville and Soweto, it is never strident, never a political tract. Elsa Joubert's concerns are less with politics than with breaking down barriers of ignorance. Her novel makes its points simply, dispassionately, and in doing so becomes the totally unsentimentalised celebration of the human capacity to survive and of the tenacious spirit that is Poppie. Poppie's contented Cape Province childhood ends when she marries a migrant worker, and is forced to move with him and their young family to the alarming world of Cape Town. But no sooner has she established her roots in the new township than the authorities which had brought the family to the city want to move Poppie right away to the Ciskei, her husband's homeland. He, as a migrant labourer, may stay in the Cape. On a brief bridal visit to his people in 'the land' Poppie had seen enough of the very different world of the tribal Xhosas to recognise it as a way of life her own forebears left behind them three generations ago. To her and to them the Ciskei is the past, dismissed as 'Kaffirland' by the urban blacks. So for ten years Poppie fights the pass laws, winning limited extensions to the permit which will allow her to stay and work in Cape Town, in her struggle to hold her family together and her children an education, even if paying or this means working 'sleep in' and seeing them fleetingly herself. But the day comes when there are no more extensions. Poppie and her children are 'resettled' in a raw new township near East London. Set against this continuing struggle with white bureaucracy are the equally inescapable demands of the tribal way of life with its witch doctors, its ancestor worship, and the imperatives of the male initiation rituals. Though her education makes her resist this part of her heritage, she has to come to terms with it too, before the unrest that began at Sharpeville in the early sixties comes to Soweto and, in Cape Town once more, its aftermath engulfs Poppie and her children. Poppie's story could be the story of thousands of Rack families in South Africa today. It is universal, and at the same time it is precisely individual. For the woman who is here called Poppie went to Elsa Joubert for help and advice after the Cape Town riots had broken into the heart of her family. From listening to Poppie, the idea of the novel was born. But it took two further years of careful conversation and questioning to get the full story of Poppie's forty years into a consecutive narrative, mapped and pinned down with the scrupulously authentic small details that make the result such a remarkable novel. Poppie was originally published in Afrikaans. It became an immediate bestseller in South Africa, the centre of political controversy, and won three literary prizes. It is Elsa Joubert's tenth book, but the first she has translated into English. inventory #4911 Previous Owner's Inscription in Front, Otherwise Very Good in Dustjacket. N° de réf. du vendeur z4911
