South African politics is riddled with delusions. Many common political arguments come pre-packaged in an old and dusty box – but the self-evident truths are not, in fact, so indisputable. Sizwe Mpofu-Walsh sets out to dismantle that box. He argues that free education is far from impossible, the ANC's liberation narrative is too idyllic to swallow, land reform is not the first step to chaos, and the media is not free… In this incisive, informed book we find not only challenges to commonly held opinions, but optimism about South Africa's future, and solutions to old problems. A fresh perspective on South African politics.

The book is devoted to a play which became on its appearance a turning point in Russian, and later world, art. A vast amount has been written about the play. However, “The Seagull” still attracts producers, actors and critics; they read it every time as if for the frst time. This book attempts the same. It is addressed to all those who are interested in Chekhov’s work and the “eternal questions” of his “strange” play, “The Seagull”.

«…цыганка с черными космами волос, с вывалившейся из лифчика огромной белой грудью в синих прожилках, удерживала одной рукой расхристанную малютку. Другую руку с хищно обломанным стеклянным фужером на длинной ножке она занесла над кукольной головкой ребенка». Это отрывок из новой книги Ника Карпина «Бред старого мента», в которой прожженный «мент» Пловцов делится… впрочем, прочтите сами. Автор обещает в следующей книге рассказать подробней о новом своем герое.
