Openbaring: 'n Reisjoernaal
Openbaring is ’n inspirerende reisstorie wat wipplank ry tussen twee uiterstes – C. Johan Bakkes en sy reisgenote trotseer die koudste en warmste plekke op aarde waar mense nog leef en ’n bestaan maak, in onderskeidelik die snerpende Siberiese koue en die verswelgende hitte van die Danakil-depressie. Hoekom? Want dié reisigers doen hul bes om nie “lou” te wees nie, maar met absolute oorgawe te lewe!
220 pages, Kindle Edition

About the author
C. Johan Bakkes
10 books14 followersProf Johan Bakkes is a qualified CA and lectures in Business Economics at the University of the Western Cape. He lives on a smallholding in the Paarl, and his adventurous spirit has taken him to destinations all over the world, the common thread being that these places are almost always off the beaten track!
Bakkes has garnered much controversy for often including offensive and exaggerated remarks towards members of his own family. Much controversy emerged from his book "To Hell and Gone" (2008) when he put forward the argument that one of his nephews should not have had the right to be born in South Africa. In the same book, he also expressed that members of his family "betrayed" South Africa in moving to Canada because of the crime and racial tensions associated with South Africa. These conditions were wide-spread throughout South Africa, especially after the South African farm attacks had begun in the mid-90's.

Loved this book. C. Johan Bakkes has an exceptional ability to take the reader into the unknown with him and his colourful compatriots. Be warned, this book WILL make you want to jump in your car and drive into the nearest piece of deserted wilderness you can find.
