Langenhoven in Volkleur deurLeon Rousseau (redigeerder)
260 Bladsye, Hardeband
Kondisie: Baie goed (Het baie klein/geringe tekens van slytasie).

Genres: Fiksie * Afrikaans

’n Diverse versameling van Langenhoven se prosa, poësie en gesegdes, vergesel van lewendige illustrasies deur Angus McBride, is nou beskikbaar vir lesers om te geniet.

In die Voorwoord van hierdie samestelling besin die skrywer oor die idee om 'n Langenhovense huisboek of volksboek te skep, wat die beste van sy werk saam met kleurvolle illustrasies ten toon stel. Terwyl hy grootgeword het met die sestien bundels van Langenhoven se Versamelde werke, erken die skrywer die impak van sy veelsydigheid as skrywer. Langenhoven se verkenning van verskeie genres, van wetenskapfiksie tot speurverhale, asook sy vaardigheid in die maak van toneelstukke en spookverhale, is werklik merkwaardig.

Terwyl sommige van Langenhoven se verhale die toets van die tyd deurstaan het, erken die skrywer ook dat nie al sy werk dalk by moderne lesers aanklank vind nie. Die skrywer se bedoeling is om slegs die beste stukke van Langenhoven se skryfwerk saam te stel, wat die taal en styl verbeter vir 'n lekkerder leeservaring. Die toevoeging van Angus McBride se pragtige kleurillustrasies voeg nog 'n laag diepte en skoonheid by hierdie versameling.

Deur hierdie noukeurige keuringsproses beoog die skrywer om 'n groot, verruklike boek te skep wat die beste van Langenhoven se werk ten toon stel, en verseker dat lesers sy talent kan waardeer sonder om deur minder boeiende materiaal te sif. Met McBride se pragtige illustrasies en 'n kritiese oog vir kwaliteit, beloof hierdie bundel om 'n boeiende huldeblyk te wees aan een van die Afrikaanse letterkunde se mees gevierde skrywers.
