My Year of Fear and Freedom is a travel memoir about the leap year in Marita van der Vyver’s life. In this journey, which spans three continents, a lifetime of memories from one of Afrikaans’ greatest writers is explored. Sometimes, one has to lose a great deal — and also be willing to lose oneself — before true freedom can be found.
My jaar van vrees en vryheid is ’n reisverhaal oor die sprongjaar in Marita van der Vyver se lewe. In hierdie reis, wat oor drie vastelande strek, word ’n hele leeftyd se herinneringe van een van Afrikaans se heel grootste skrywers ontgin. Soms moet mens baie verloor, en ook bereid wees om self verlore te raak, voor mens regtig vryheid kan verkry.
This is an inspiring story of a man who has led from the front, and played against the best in the world.

Jan Christiaan Smuts was ’n soldaat, staatsman, intellektueel en een van Suid-Afrika se grootste leiers. Tog word daar vandag min oor hom gepraat of geskryf, al beleef ons tans skynbaar ’n leierskapsvakuum.
In Afrikaner sonder grense voer Richard Steyn aan dat ons hierdie indrukwekkende kryger-staatsman se lewe en denke moet herbesoek, omdat daar soveel te leer is uit sy merkwaardige prestasies.
