{"product_id":"9780796146205","title":"Pretoria stories","description":"\u003cp\u003ePretoria, ook liefderik die Jakarandastad genoem, is een van die gewildste stede in Suid-Afrika. Dit was nog altyd 'n miernes van bedrywighede en het sekerlik een van die beste klimate ter wêreld. Tog het dinge oor die jare verander, en lyk die stad heelwat anders as in die jare 1940 tot 1990. Pretoria Stories is 'n versameling herinneringe uit daardie vergange tyd. Meer as 60 gemeenskaps-lede se stories, staaltjies en gedigte in Engels en Afrikaans word in hierdie bundel opgeneem en maak “ou Pretoria” lewendig. \u003cbr\u003eDie Capitol-teater, Fonteinedal, jakarandatyd en sorgelose kinderdae speel voor die leser se oë af, maar ook die Kerkstraat-bom, die Pangaman en gedwonge verskuiwings. Dis 'n aanwins om bydraes uit die townships en die Griekse en Italiaanse gemeenskappe te lees. Kortom: 'n Boek oor Pretoria geskryf deur Pretorianers. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePretoria, also affectionately called the Jacaranda City, is one of the most popular cities in South Africa. It is known for its energetic hustle and bustle and undoubtedly has one of the best climates in the world. Over the years, a lot has changed, and the city looks quite different from the years 1940 to 1990. Pretoria Stories is a collection of memories from that bygone era. More than 60 community members' stories, anecdotes, and poems in English and Afrikaans are included in this anthology, bringing “old Pretoria” to life. \u003cbr\u003eThe Capitol Theatre, Fountains Valley, jacaranda season, and carefree childhood days are brought back to memory, but also the Church Street bomb, the Pangaman, and forced removals. It is enriching to read contributions from township residents and the Greek and Italian communities. In short: a book about Pretoria written by Pretorians.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"book-contributors\"\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"contributor-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"contributor-role\"\u003eAuthor\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=Author+Pieter+Swanepoel\" class=\"contributor-link\"\u003ePieter Swanepoel\u003c\/a\u003e\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Pieter Swanepoel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47382603366563,"sku":"9780796146205","price":240.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/7836\/3555\/files\/img_9780796146205_014cb567-03fd-427c-aafb-c1c3c10c116d.jpg?v=1776498233","url":"https:\/\/graffitibooks.co.za\/products\/9780796146205","provider":"Graffiti Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
