Eugene Marais and the Darwin syndrome/Die dowwe spoor van Eugene Marais (English, Afrikaans, Hardcover)

In this publication, two separate texts that should be read alongside the authoritative Marais biography, Die groot verlange, is made available in a single volume. Eugene Marais and the Darwin Syndrome explores the role that the father-son relationship possibly could have played in Marais’s inability to complete his magnum opus. Die dowwe spoor van Eugene Marais, an informal source book, includes facts and names that were concealed or suppressed in the biography. In hierdie publikasie word twee afsonderlike tekste wat naas die gesaghebbende Marais-biografie, Die groot verlange, gelees moet word, in een volume uitgegee. Eugene Marais and the Darwin Syndrome ondersoek die rol wat die pa-seun-verhouding moontlik kon gespeel het in Marais se onvermoe om sy magnum opus te voltooi. Die dowwe spoor van Eugene Marais, ’n informele bronneboek by Marais se lewensverhaal, bevat feite en name wat in die lewensverhaal verswyg of verdoesel is.
