Historia
In die wilde nagte of bedags as die son bloed uit ’n klip wil trek en ’n mens se gedagtes koorsig maal - dan loop waarheid en verdigsel, geskiedenis en toekoms, lewe en dood deurmekaar op Toorberg, erfgrond van die Moolmans. Hiermee moet die magistraat rekening hou wanneer hy die dood kom ondersoek van klein Noag, ’n kind van die weemoed, wat nie heeltemal van dié aarde was nie.

Historia
In Die kwart-voor-sewe-lelie skryf Eleanor Baker met ’n satiriese aanslag en fyn insig oor die wel en wee van ’n stadsgesin wat bestaan uit ’n vergeetagtige ma, ’n gemoedelike pa, Iris en haar twee susters, Elsa en Kara, hul “Hollandse” hond, ’n huishulp wat presies weet wat sy wil hê en ’n buite-aardse beskermengel met ’n aardse humorsin. In die karakters se doen en late sien die leser, met ’n glimlag, baie van hom/haarself. “Ek het jou al vertel van my naam,” sê Iris, die sentrale figuur in hierdie bekoorlike roman,"...ek glo ek sal eendag blom."

Historia
"Ek is Mara, die dogter van Bavaria Mara gebore ter see.” So begin die Sandveldse roman oor die wel en wee van Mara, dogter van Bavaria Mara en Jakop Brandt, die tweede seun van ʼn Sandveldboer van die plaas De Heuwel, teen die oewer van die Bergrivier. Vroeg al verloor Mara haar hart op Theunis, enigste erfgenaam van die buurplaas, Misverstand, maar haar pa Jakop is ʼn onverbiddelike man en dikwels onredelik.

Een van hulle is die sesjarige Charles Smith, op pad na ’n onbekende tante van sy pa in ’n klein dorpie in Skotland. By aunty Grace wag ’n nuwe lewe op hom.

Resumen del Editor
Die swerfjare van Poppie Nongena het by verskyning in November 1978 die gemoed van die hele land beroer. Binne vier maande is dit drie keer herdruk. Dit is in 1979 met die Luyt-, die CNA- en die W.A. Hofmeyr-prys bekroon. In 1981 is dit deur die Royal Society of Literature in Londen aangewys as die beste streekroman wat in Engels verskyn het; Elsa Joubert word ook ‘n Fellow van die Society. Sedertdien is die roman vertaal in Frans, Spaans, Duits, Nederlands en Italiaans. In 1985 het ‘n Amerikaanse uitgawe verskyn.
Hoë lof is van kritici ontvang. Audrey Blignault het die betekenis van die roman só saamgevat: "n Aangrypende, onvergeetlike boek wat die sluier tussen die witmens en die swartmens in Suid-Afrika afruk." André P. Brink het dit in Rapport as die boek van die jaar in die Afrikaanse prosa uitgesonder: "'n Visioen van menslike gevangeneskap... Ontstemmend en indrukwekkend... Verpligte literatuur vir elke mens wat oor hierdie land wil saampraat. "Oorsee het die gesaghebbende Sunday Times Literary Supplement ‘n entoesiastiese bespreking van die roman geplaas. En The Times se resensent skryf: "(The novel) unfolds with the inexorable force of a Greek tragedy."
As voorhoogstuk was Poppie eweneens suksesvol. Dit is in sowel Afrikaans as Engels landwyd opgevoer. In New York is dit eers in ‘n eksperimentele teater aangebied; daarna het dit as Off Broadway-opvoering die Obi-toekenning verwerf vir die beste dramateks. Dit is gekies vir die Edinburgh-toneelfees, en later ook in Londen opgevoer, waar Thuli Dumakude as Poppie die gesogte Olivier-prys verower het. Vervolgens is dit opgevoer in Australië, Kanada en Chicago.
Die skryfster self sê oor dié suksesverhaal: "Die lewe van die werklike Poppie het my diep geraak, en my beklem. Hier was ‘n vrou, magteloos vasgevang in ‘n onmenslike sisteem, wat veg vir die bestaan van haar gesin. Deur die boek wou ek aan haar ‘n stem gee."

The 13 chapters of The Art of War, each devoted to one aspect of warfare, were compiled by the high-ranking Chinese military general, strategist, and philosopher Sun-Tzu. In spite of its battlefield specificity, The Art of War has found new life in the modern age, with leaders in fields as wide and far-reaching as world politics, human psychology, and corporate strategy finding valuable insight in its timeworn words.

Historia
It’s the summer of ’77 in New York City, and the only thing more unnerving than the scorching heatwave is the rampant murder, leaving washed-up homicide detective Richard Dietrich on edge. When Dietrich investigates a brutal mob hit the brass doesn’t want him to solve, he goes from phoning it in to getting in over his head. Caught up in a mysterious second homicide with an even more perplexing perpetrator, Dietrich starts to second guess his instincts—and his memory—as he searches for answers at the bottom of a bottle.

This newer edition of the King James Bible published in 1769 is usually preferred by most that read it over the older 1611 version. This 1769 edition is highly sought after due to being more reader/listener friendly than the 1611 since many typos were fixed.... We hope your new audio bible will go everywhere with you and be a blessing for years to come.

When she arrives at the idyllic getaway, she’s pleased to find that the owner is a handsome man by the name of Calvin Wells—and he’s eager to introduce her to his easygoing way of life.

In the heart of the South Pacific lies Point Nemo, the most desolate and remote place on Earth. At its core is a dead zone, devoid of life, where government agencies crash their obsolete satellites and space stations, confident they won't harm a soul. When the International Space Station suffers a catastrophic failure and plummets through the atmosphere, it's here that Mission Specialist Julie Rohr, an astrobiologist studying living space dust called xylem, finds herself marooned. Julie's only hope for rescue lies in the hands of her estranged father, Dr. Finn Maddern, a renowned mycologist.

The doorbell rings, just days after my beloved husband’s sudden death. I don’t recognise the woman on our doorstep, with her blonde highlights, a diamond bracelet identical to my own and a bouncing baby boy in her arms. As I show her inside, I notice her eyes grow wide as she takes in our spacious hallway, and the big squashy sofas that we all used to pile on. She glances at the silver-framed family photos and my little daughter hiding behind my skirts. She looks at me, her blue eyes serious. ‘I’m sorry’ she says. ‘I am your husband’s girlfriend. And this is his son.'

When the call came it seemed like the answer to my prayers. My career as a voice actor had been over for months and me and my little girl Scarlet were living back at my mum’s place. I felt like a failure professionally—and with Scarlet having problems at school, as a parent as well. So, when I was asked to narrate a new book by disappeared novelist Philippa Roberts I jumped at the chance, even if it meant leaving Scarlet with my ex, Hugo, for a few weeks. Hugo, with his perfect new home and his perfect new girlfriend Saskia. But this isn’t a dream come true. It’s a nightmare.

Historia
The modern audience hasn't had a chance to truly appreciate the unknowing dread that readers would have felt when reading Bram Stoker's original 1897 manuscript. Most modern productions employ campiness or sound effects to try to bring back that gothic tension, but we've tried something different. By returning to Stoker's original storytelling structure - a series of letters and journal entries voiced by Jonathan Harker, Dr. Van Helsing, and other characters - with an all-star cast of narrators, we've sought to recapture its originally intended horror and power.

isiXhosa Pronunciation Detracts from Authenticity
I read this magnificent story in English some years ago and listened to the Afrikaans audiobook only now. The story remains heartbreaking.
I feel the narrator should have learnt the most basic isiXhosa pronunciation to do justice to the text. It was disturbing to have to listen to the same mispronounced words, like “ikira”, over and over. I am a native Afrikaans speaker, isiXhosa is my third language and it bothered me. There really is no excuse for such a failure.

A personal look into the horrors of Apartheid
Would you listen to Die swerfjare van Poppie Nongena [The Long Journey of Poppie Nongena] again? Why?
No! it's just so sad! Don't get me wrong - it's a great book. But it's really depressing, all the more so because it is true.
What did you like best about this story?
This is an interesting story in that it is historical non-fiction that kind of reads as fiction, but when it was written it was more political contemporary as it was written during the same era as the events in the book. Now, with the benefit of many years since the events, the readers has access to greater perspectives on the events and other concurrent occurrences at the same time as Poppie's journeys. So from an analytical and historic point of view, this is a true gem.
Who was the most memorable character of Die swerfjare van Poppie Nongena [The Long Journey of Poppie Nongena] and why?
It has to be the main protagonist, Poppie herself. During this epic she is a dynamic, growing character. It is remarkable seeing her becoming aware of the oppression she faces, and no longer accepting it.
Any additional comments?
This audiobook is in Afrikaans, the original language of the book. I wish there was one available in English, because I would highly recommend it.

Openbaring uit d geskiedenis
Dit is slegs my 2de oudio boek. Ek is deel vd geskiedenis wat hier afspeel...gebore 1947. Ek was 30 toe dié storie eindig. Gebore in d Wes kaap, het ek 35 jr in Transvaal gewerk, tot met die demokratiese verkiesing.
Die verhaal met sy swaarkry laat my besef dat hier groot onmenslikheid plaasgevind het. Ek sal my deel vd regstelling moet aanvaar, want ek het voordeel getrek. Mag d Hemelse Vader ons tyd gee om beter saam te lewe.
Dank aan d skrywer, wat afgelope maand oorlede is.
