Год издания: 0000
In Die Meissner-kliniek ontmoet die leser die stigter van die eksklusiewe privaat kliniek, dokter Albert Meissner – ook bekend as Godfather – en die gedugte span dokters wat vir hom werk. So lojaal is hulle teenoor hom, en so toegewyd tot hul taak, dat hulle onder die res van die medici in die land bekend staan as die Mafia! Maar op ’n dag word die vrede en kliniese orde in die kliniek omvergewerp wanneer ’n nuwe trolliejoggie daar begin werk, ’n meisiekind wat lyk asof sy nog op skool hoort met haar jeans en tekkies en twee boksterte. Min weet die ander dokters dat sy eintlik ’n gekwalifiseerde pediater is, en die ware kleindogter van dokter Albert Meissner! In Dokter Julene verlaat Julene Meissner die veilige hawe van die Meissnerkliniek om haar by haar biologiese pa in Switserland aan te sluit. Nog hy nog sy vrou van veertig jaar het egter van die dogter se bestaan geweet . . . Julene besef gou dat sy nie Switserland haar nuwe tuiste wil maak nie, en aanvaar oorhaastig ’n tydelike pos as persoonlike geneesheer van ’n verwende Turkse meisie wat haar rug in ’n ski-ongeluk beseer het. Julene het gehoop om sodoende nie net ’n inkomste te verdien nie, maar ook vir die eerste keer in haar lewe die wereld buite Suid-Afrika te verken. Maar sy is min voorbereid op die eksotiese sjarme en oorrompelende magnetisme van Istanboel – en veral een inwoner van die Turkse stad . . . En in Die ongebore uur het Inge Buchner, agterkleindogter van dr. Albert Meissner, een doel voor oe: om te sorg dat daar eendag weer ’n dokter met die van Meissner aan die hoof van die kliniek staan. Dis die dat sy in haar tweede jaar medies besluit om Suid-Afrika te verlaat en haar studie in Duitsland voort te sit – aan die Universiteit van Hamburg, daar waar die Meissners oorspronklik vandaan kom . . .

Murray Walker: Unless I’m Very Much Mistaken
Автор: Murray Walker
Год издания:
The voice of motor racing and much loved public figure – and the man responsible for introducing millions of viewers to the previously inaccessible world of Formula 1 – tells the story of his incident-packed life, with a brand new chapter on his globetrotting adventures since retirement.Murray Walker is a national treasure. When the man who made famous the catch phrase 'Unless I'm very much mistaken… I AM very much mistaken!!!' announced that he was retiring as ITV's Grand Prix commentator, the media reacted as if the sport itself was losing one of its biggest stars.His reputation for mistakes was the making of Walker. He was the fan who happened to be given the keys to the commentary box – and never wanted to give them back. His high-octane delivery kept viewers on the edge of their seats, while his passion for talking about the sport he loved was matched by an all-encompassing knowledge gained through hours of painstaking research before every race.In his book he writes about his childhood and the influence that his father, British motorcycle champion Graham Walker, had on his career. Failing to match his father's achievements on the track after active service in World War II, he made a successful career for himself in advertising which catapulted him to the top of his profession.An offer from the BBC to take over the commentary seat for their F1 broadcasts was too good to turn down, and it wasn't long before the infamous 'Murrayisms' enlivened a sport which until then had been shrouded in a cloak of unfathomable technical jargon and mind-numbing statistics.He also talks about the biggest changes in the sport over the last 50 years, in particular the safety issues which came to the fore after the tragic death of Ayrton Senna, which he witnessed first hand. His partnership with James Hunt behind the microphone is the subject of some hilarious anecdotes, while his views on drivers past and present such as Stirling Moss, Jackie Stewart, Damon Hill and Michael Schumacher make for fascinating reading.
