Pretoria stories 3

Met die verskyning van Pretoria Stories 3 kan lesers nou nuwe stories oor Pretoria en sy mense ontdek.

Pretoria Stories 3 sluit aan by die vorige uitgawes (Pretoria Stories en Pretoria Stories 2), maar hierdie keer gaan dit nie net oor stories van Ou Pretoria nie, maar ook oor die Pretoria van vandag.

’n Kenmerk van al drie volumes is dat verskeie kulturele gemeenskappe betrek word om die Pretoria-mosaïek te skilder. Ingesluit in hierdie uitgawe is die Duitse, Portugese en Joodse gemeenskappe wat soveel tot die ontwikkeling van Pretoria bygedra het.

Daar is ook brokkies uit Pretoria se erfenisargiewe, ’n paar Pretoriana-versamelings en stories oor enkele Pretoria-voorstede, asook ’n paar townships, wat lesers se belangstelling sal prikkel.

Weer eens, iets vir almal! 

With the publication of Pretoria Stories 3, readers can now discover new stories about Pretoria and its people.

Pretoria Stories 3 follows on from the previous editions (Pretoria Stories and Pretoria Stories 2), but this time the focus is not only on stories about Old Pretoria, but also on the Pretoria of today.

A feature of all three volumes is the inclusion of various cultural communities to paint a picture of Pretoria’s rich mosaic. This edition includes the German, Portuguese and Jewish communities, all of whom have contributed so much to the development of Pretoria.

There are also snippets from Pretoria’s heritage archives, a few Pretoriana collections, and stories about some of Pretoria’s suburbs, as well as a few townships, which are sure to pique readers’ interest.

Once again, something for everyone!
