Flame in the Snow: The Love Letters of André Brink & Ingrid Jonker by André P Brink, Ingrid Jonker, Francis Galloway (editor)
Requirements: ePUB Reader, 6.2MB
Overview: In a telegram dated 29 April 1963, twenty-nine-year-old Afrikaans poet Ingrid Jonker thanks André Brink, a young novelist of twenty-seven, for flowers and a letter he sent her. In the more than two hundred letters that followed this telegram, one of South African literature’s most famous love affairs unfolds. Jonker’s final letter to Brink is dated 18 April 1965. She drowned herself in the ocean at Three Anchor Bay three months later.
More than fifty years on, this poignant, often stormy relationship still grips readers’ imaginations. In December 2014, three months before his death on 6 February 2015, André Brink offered these never-before-seen letters, as well as personal photographs, for publication.
The book is a collection of letters and telegrams between two of South Africa’s greatest writers. We read about their romantic liaisons, their everyday lives, their innermost secrets, and more. It’s a look into the thoughts and emotions shared by two literary marvels in a time when South Africa was experiencing political turbulence. These letters and telegrams are provocative and beautiful and sometimes downright literary.
