Animal Farm
George Orwell
N$ 195
'All animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others.' Mr.
Jones of Manor Farm is so lazy and drunken that one day he forgets to
feed his livestock. The ensuing rebellion under the leadership of the
pigs, Napoleon and Snowball, leads to the animals taking over the farm.
Vowing to eliminate the terrible inequities of the farmyard, renamed
Animal Farm, is organised to benefit all who walk on four legs. But as
time passes, the ideals of the rebellion are corrupted, then forgotten.
And something new and unexpected emerges... Animal Farm - the history of
revolution that went wrong - is George Orwell's brilliant satire on the
corrupting influence of power.
Things Fall Apart
Chinua Achebe
N$ 210
Okwonkwo is the greatest wrestler and warrior alive, and his
fame spreads throughout West Africa like a bush-fire in the harmattan.
But when he accidentally kills a clansman, things begin to fall apart.
Okwonkwo returns from exile to find missionaries and colonial governors
have arrived in his old village. With his world thrown radically off
balance he can only hurtle towards tragedy. First published in 1958,
Chinua Achebe's stark, coolly ironic novel reshaped both African and
world literature, and has sold over ten million copies in forty-five
languages. This arresting parable of a proud, powerless man witnessing
the ruin of his people begins Achebe's landmark trilogy of works
chronicling the fate of one African community, continued in Arrow of God and No Longer at Ease.
The Power
Naomi Alderman
N$ 280
'She throws her head back and pushes her chest forward and lets go a
huge blast right into the centre of his body. The rivulets and streams
of red scarring run across his chest and up around his throat. She'd put
her hand on his heart and stopped him dead.' Suddenly - tomorrow or the
day after - girls find that with a flick of their fingers they can
inflict agonising pain and even death. With this single twist, the four
lives at the heart of Naomi Alderman's extraordinary, visceral novel are
utterly transformed, and we look at the world in an entirely new light.
What if the power were in women's hands?
You Lost Me
Marita van der Vyver
N$ 240
Willem
Prins wanders the streets of Paris, disillusioned and glum. Once, he
showed great promise as a South African writer of distinction, but years
of disappointment have left their mark. Drowning himself in the Seine
may well be the only option left to drive up his book sales. His reason
for being in Paris - the French translation of an erotic novel he wrote
under a pseudonym - is not exactly something to be proud of. He is no
stranger to Paris, either. An ex-wife of his (one of three) lives in the
city with his eldest son, a young man who barely knows his father.
Willem finds an unlikely companion in Jackie, a South African working as
an au pair in the city, a woman young enough to be his daughter.
Together, the two of them will face the chaos of the terror attacks on
Friday, the 13th, in Paris. You Lost Me is bestselling author Marita van
der Vyver's thirteenth novel, a story about life's thunder clouds and
the bonds between us that offer shelter. It is a tale of disillusionment
and loss, told with warmth and wicked humour.

not - beautiful, graceful and brave. Yet, when the Dragon comes, it's
not Kasia he takes... 'Vividly believable.' Ursula le Guin
The Organized Mind
Daniel Levitin

Even
the smartest mind can't beat the organized mind... In the digital age

creativity plummets and decision-making suffers. Daniel Levitin shows
us how we got here and why smart organization improves our memory, our
attention span and even our imagination. You'll discover that your brain
has a daily processing limit - why waste it on cat photos? Daydreaming
is your brain at its most productive. Multi-tasking is a bad way to do
nearly everything. The Organized Mind will teach you to function
better, go further and find more time to do the things you actually want
to do. 'Thought-provoking and practical... Good advice based on sound
neuro-scientific principles.' Sunday Times
How to Make Money on the Stock Exchange
Ross Larter
N$ 230
'How
many millionaires do you know who have become wealthy by investing in
savings accounts? I rest my case.' - Robert G. Allen, investment advisor
and author of Multiple Streams of Income. In many people's
thinking, the financial markets are reserved only for the wealthy or
people with financial or economics backgrounds. They discard the idea of
becoming involved in trading because they perceive it to be too
complicated. But Ross Larter, author of How to Make Money on the Stock Exchange,
believes that the markets provide opportunities for everyone to
generate income. This book is written for ordinary people, in everyday
language, to help them understand how the stock market works, and how to
use this knowledge to acquire the necessary skills to generate a
secondary (and potentially a primary) income by investing and/or trading
on the markets. You don't need to be a financial whizz kid to make
money on the stock market. All you have to do is be willing, and take
the time, to learn about it. This book will show you how.For these and other titles, please visit Book Buddy, outside office, Sister Namibia, 163 Nelson Mandela Avenue, Eros, Windhoek, Monday - Friday: 09:00 - 17:00, Saturdays: 09:00 - 14:00, or if you are in other parts of Namibia, please order from bookbuddynamibia@gmail.com (prices exclude postage) or call: +264 61 302 711 for more information.
