Book excerpt: "A Bullet in the Back is a fictional recreation of an episode in South African history now much forgotten but greatly in need of resurrection. In the course of his research Nigel Fox has unearthed a few surprises and, in the end, the book is a timely reminder of the catastrophe and tragedy that is civil war as something to be avoided at almost any cost."Tim CouzensFormer winner of the Sunday Times Alan Paton Award and the CNA Literary Award, andthe author of numerous books. Who killed Koos de la Rey and who captured Christiaan de Wet? Here's a thrilling novel based on historical fact about ordinary men catapulted into uniform and driving their own cars into battle against an Afrikaner hero described as the world's greatest guerrilla leader. Told from the points of view of D H Saker, founder of Saker's garage, and Harm Oost, founder of Het Volk newspaper and head of De Wet's bodyguard, the action follows battles and chases across the Union of South Africa. Madge Fabian, a touring British actress, gets caught up in the events of the times and the magnetism of a driven Saker. At every stage, the characters in this conflict - one that could have changed the outcome of World War I - meet with unexpected reverses that have a similar impact as a bullet in the back. The 1914 Rebellion - South Africa's first civil war - Could it happen again? The bullet that changed the outcome of WW1 Just as the bullet that killed Archduke Ferdinand started World War 1, the bullet that killed Koos de la Rey a few months later, ensured that Germany lost the war.If it had missed, De la Rey and Commandant-General Christiaan Beyers would have gone on to Potchefstroom to bring out the Active Citizen Force in rebellion. They would have unseated the Botha/Smuts government, declared a new Boer republic and allied the country with Germany. Britain would have been cut off from its colonies and starved into submission by German raiders based in Simons Town, changing the entire course of modern history.

Download or read book Luxury Arts of the Renaissance written by Marina Belozerskaya and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 2005-10-01 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today we associate the Renaissance with painting, sculpture, and architecture—the “major” arts. Yet contemporaries often held the “minor” arts—gem-studded goldwork, richly embellished armor, splendid tapestries and embroideries, music, and ephemeral multi-media spectacles—in much higher esteem. Isabella d’Este, Marchesa of Mantua, was typical of the Italian nobility: she bequeathed to her children precious stone vases mounted in gold, engraved gems, ivories, and antique bronzes and marbles; her favorite ladies-in-waiting, by contrast, received mere paintings. Renaissance patrons and observers extolled finely wrought luxury artifacts for their exquisite craftsmanship and the symbolic capital of their components; paintings and sculptures in modest materials, although discussed by some literati, were of lesser consequence. This book endeavors to return to the mainstream material long marginalized as a result of historical and ideological biases of the intervening centuries. The author analyzes how luxury arts went from being lofty markers of ascendancy and discernment in the Renaissance to being dismissed as “decorative” or “minor” arts—extravagant trinkets of the rich unworthy of the status of Art. Then, by re-examining the objects themselves and their uses in their day, she shows how sumptuous creations constructed the world and taste of Renaissance women and men.
