Winner of the 1985 Whitbread Prize for Fiction: Kruger's Alp moves from pulpit to black township, from Johannesburg's fortress prison to the underworld of Soho as we follow renegade priest Theodore Blanchaille in his search for the legendary gold spirited away by President Kruger in order to found an earthly paradise. 'An extremely attractive book, witty and fast-moving and densely imagined' Sunday Times Theodore Blanchaille is searching for the missing millions of the Boer leader Paul Kruger, and his lost city of gold. As a child he had heard tales of Kruger from a wayward priest; what follows is an astonishing journey that takes Blanchaille through a landscape peopled with spies, visionaries, terrorists, traitors, patriots and exiled presidents. From huge transit camps on the veld to a notorious prison block, from a township in the bloody aftermath of 'pacification' to a secret travellers' rest for fleeing pilgrims, and from the streets and cellars of Soho to paradise at last on a Swiss mountainside, Kruger's Alp is a fantastical political satire of extraordinary invention.

Kruger's Alp

Donald M. Marcus

Hope began her treatment with Dr. Marcus by telling him that her training analysis had been very helpful, but had not enabled her to get to the bottom of her difficulties. She made it clear that if this new analytic journey were to be successful, their true selves would have to meet. This is the story, told from both points of view, of how Hope helped her analyst develop the courage to risk responding directly from his unconscious, allowing their true selves to meet, while still maintaining the analytic frame. Intervening in this way the analyst sang to his patient, told her a dream he had about his daughter, and engaged in a spontaneous psychodrama in which they both expressed feelings of love, lust, frustration, anger and sadness. It was this emotional meeting of their true selves which seemed most responsible for the excellent outcome.

Based on a true story, Leyla was somehow confused between two different cultures. Her childhood was exciting with wonderful traveling experiences, and many other joys, but at the same time, she was deprived from the love and respect that any little girl is entitled to, which crushed her self-confidence. The dramas and tragedies which then occur later on in her life could be destroying for many, but the love Leyla had for her children, kept her strong and enabled her to move on. This book takes you on a journey on how Leyla coped with the hurdles and tragedies set before her and into the secret mystics of the unseen. Leyla’s unique personal experience with the spiritual world is inspiring.
