Wanneer ’n wildvreemde meisie in Weerklank van ons liefde per ongeluk in dr. Rudolf van der Merwe se lewe – en sy woonstel, sy bed en sy slaapklere – beland, raak hy onherroeplik verstrengel by ’n tergende raaisel. Want die naamlose meisie ly aan geheueverlies, en al leidraad is ’n koerantberig oor ’n onopgeloste moord waarvan die sleutelverdagte spoorloos verdwyn het . . . Net ’n groot skok sal die verlede vir haar kan oopruk. En dis presies wat die verleidelike en slinkse rooikop-joernalis, Catherine, besluit om te doen. Want sy het self ’n ogie op Rudolf en sal haar deur niks laat stuit om die meisie, wat as Babie bekend staan, in ’n slegte lig te stel nie . . . ’n Tyd om te ween is ’n diep roerende verhaal waarin mense mekaar leer om te gee, selfs in die haglikste omstandighede, en waarin hulle besef: die lewe verloop selde soos jy dit beplan. Na Paul Henning se hartaanval moet Rietspruit ’n ander dokter kry. Maar Hybre, dokter Paul se dogter, vertrou nie die briljante dokter Ewald Waltmann nie. Wat kom soek so ’n suksesvolle geneesheer op so ’n klein plekkie? Die atmosfeer is van die begin af gelaai; reeds by hul eerste ontmoeting spat die vonke. En hierdie gespanne verhouding vererger toe Ewald se halfbroer, Dieter, ook ’n dokter, op ’n dag onverwags en onaangekondig op Rietspruit uitslaan . . . In Die oujongnooi van Polkadraai besluit Silpa Stander, een van die beste grimeerkundiges in die Kaapse teaterwereld, om haar talent op haar eie gesig te beoefen . . . nie om haarself mooier of jonger te maak nie, maar ouer, ’n volle twintig jaar ouer! Want ter wille van die liewe ta’Fien wat so erg bekommerd is oor haar broer en sy kleinkinders op die plaas, besluit Silpa om haar voor te doen as ’n middeljarige oujongnooi om die pos te kry as huishoudster vir oupa Dries en sy twee kleinkinders. Maar met die pa van die twee kinders het sy nie rekening gehou nie . . . hy is veel strenger, hardkoppiger, en ook veel, veel aantrekliker as wat sy haar ooit sou kon voorstel!
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.
