Een van die betekenisse van slampamper is om “doelloos of bloot vir dieplesier rond te loop: ‘n Mens slampamper langs een van ons verruklike strande of dwaal deur ‘n hawetjie” (‘Volksblad’ 19 September 1958).Slampamperings hoef nie net altyd voete-op-die-grond ervarings te wees nie. Dit kan ook visuele of geestelike ervarings insluit, en dit het die potensiaal om na groter bewuswording te lei.
“Slampamperpad” is eintlik ‘n gedeeltelike outobiografie in vermomming. Dis ‘n onsistematies-gerangskikte beskrywing van ‘n stuk lewensverloop met groot ruimtes tussen-in. Dit wyk gedurig af van die tipies-outobiografiese verwysing na die self, en sluit ander se lewens in, ander se ervarings, ander se sienings. Meeste lesers mag dalk saamstem dat die genre ‘n tipe verwerkte reisbeskrywing is. Die roete is erg kronkelend, maar gelukkig darem besprinkel met skeute humor om elke draai.
Top Secret
Price range: R99.00 through R399.00This is a memoir translated from the Afrikaans best selling “Uiters Geheim”, by Kobus de Villiers, a South African engineer who worked on top secret projects. He recounts episodes in his life with a wry sense of humour, and older readers will recognize many of the references to childhood and growing up in the South Africa of that era.
“His accounts of what happened are hilarious. After 1994 he joined overseas companies that required his expertise. Through the years he made a major contribution to the development of new technology, but due to the strictly top secret nature of his work, his family and friends never knew where he was and what he was doing.
