Parool / Parole is a collection of some of his most memorable and poignant speeches, which, through their resonating subject matter, continue to light literary, political and philosophical fires. Each of these public addresses -- delivered in English and Afrikaans at various events around the world between 1968 and 2015 links historical moments in the development of Afrikaans and South African literature to key events in Breytenbachs life and career. His speech at the Sestiger Summer School in 1973, for example, represents a watershed moment regarding Afrikaans writers attitudes towards social and political issues. In his Rapport Prize acceptance speech, delivered in 1986, Breytenbach brazenly confronts Afrikaners about their support of an apartheid police state an argument so compelling and ground-breaking in its style of address that it will be remembered by future generations. And who will be left unmoved when reading Breytenbachs plea in the Palace of Justice in 1975, when he addressed the judge who would eventually send him to jail on terrorism charges? The recent tribute at AndreÌ Brinks memorial service in Cape Town reaffirms the authors passionate commitment to his craft, and demonstrates how his creative output is framed by an acute sense of morality. The speeches in Parool / Parole, many of which have not been published before, will provide valuable insights into the mind of a literary icon. $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Breytenbach, Breyten $x Political and social views. 650 0 $a Authors, South African. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85009994 650 0 $a Authors, Afrikaans. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85009806 650 0 $a Speeches, addresses, etc. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85126460 600 17 $a Breytenbach, Breyten. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00031406 650 7 $a Authors, Afrikaans. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00821759 650 7 $a Authors, South African. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00822346 650 7 $a Political and social views. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01353986 650 7 $a Speeches, addresses, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01129318 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20171222060900.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=76E10392E6E711E7A3BFBD0A97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
