About this listen
In Afrikaans. ’n Blitshuwelik, erfgrond, twee broers - Deon die losbol teenoor die stil, sterk Calvyn met die bitter hart - en ’n onskuldige meisie wat as nuwe bruid op die plaas verwerp word omdat sy nie met "agtergrond" en status kan spog nie. Dis van die elemente van die komplekse familiedrama, Baas van Babilon.
Sal Babilon, spogplaas van die hovaardige De Ridders, vir Salome net ’n tussenspel wees? Sal sy haar siel behou op hierdie tradisieryke erfgrond waarin die bitterheid, haat en tweespalt soveel diep onstuimige rivierlope uitgekerf het? En kan die baas van Babilon ooit weer méns word? Puik leesstof deur die koningin van liefdeverhale in Afrikaans. Nou vir die eerste keer ooit beskikbaar as luisterboek, voorgelees deur Frieda van den Heever.
Please note: This audiobook is in Afrikaans.

Story
Stella Bennet van die plaas Ommekeer het drie dogters—en hulle het probleme. Niemand sal Julia glo dat sy in haar huwelik verbaal mishandel word nie. Niemand sal begryp dat Pauli verlief is op die verkeerde man nie. Veral aangesien sy so ’n verstandige man aan haar sy het. Niemand sal ooit weet hoe broos Teresa is nie. Want sy is hierdie hardekwas advokaat wat geen man nodig het nie.

Milla Roux is ’n veearts wat werk by ’n rehabilitasiesentrum vir sjimpansees in die DRK. Spoedig begin die skermutselings tussen regeringstroepe en rebelle-organisasies van die hele Kongo ’n gevaargebied maak, en kort voor lank is ook die rehabilitasiesentrum in die kruisvuur vasgevang.

Story
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."

Story
Kassie Kasselman is kriewelrig. Sy lewe lank poeliesman gewees, maar wragtag, wat hy nóú alles in die media oor sy geliefde SAPD lees. En met sy eie oë sién ook, in kolonel Daniels se kantoor by die Nuweland-stasie. Kassie het juis ’n ander werksaanbod gehad.... En dan moet dit natuurlik só kom dat hy in die middel van sy loopbaankrisis teen die grieseligste moordenaar nóg te staan kom. Die Pion se moordloopbaan het tentakels wat terugstrek na die Apartheidsera, met moderner euwels soos die Afrika-handel in vervalste medikasie wat ook Kassie se aandag verg.

Kassie het geglo sy speurderdae is getel ná die Medusa-pedofielsaak, en sy hartaanval. Maar ses maande tuis bring perspektief - hy is ’n speurder in murg en been. Terug by die Spookeenheid word hy en kollega Rooi Els dadelik by die diep kant ingegooi: Hulle moet ’n reeksverkragter vastrek - een wat sy slagoffers met ’n brandyster merk. Is die skuldige die man wat beskryf word as “’n weerwolf met die sperm van ’n wildehond”? Of lê die antwoord by die spesifieke merk wat hy op sy slagoffers laat?

Teen die agtergrond van soutmyne en granietkoppe vertel Droomdelwers die verhaal van twee klein gemeenskappe aan die Weskus - Soutmansvlei en Vlaktevlei. Hier word die lewens van armes en rykes, van wit en bruin, ten nouste verweef. Hier loop uiteenlopende karakters rond, elk met sy eie storie. Soos oom Kêppies sê: “ Hy’s soesie see, soes ’n branner. Voorlat jy hom kan vasvat, sien jy net sy skymstriep oppie sand lê.”

Hulle is almal in die land. Die Italianers met hulle Mafia-verbintenisse, die Chinese triades, die Nigeriërs, die Russe, Koreane, Indiërs, die hele lot, en dan natuurlik nog die plaaslike ouens ook. Niemand is hier vir die land en die Kaap se natuurskoon nie. Hulle het nie sentiment oor ’n politieke bestel of ’n reënboognasie nie. Geld is die enigste god wat aanbid word. Toe Ellie McKenna instem om hierdie wêreld te infiltreer, het sy gedink sy weet waarvoor sy haar inlaat. Maar soos haar pa altyd gesê het, die duiwel deel nie visitekaartjies uit nie.

Story
Johnnie Rico never really intended to join up—and definitely not the infantry. But now that he’s in the thick of it, trying to get through combat training harder than anything he could have imagined, he knows everyone in his unit is one bad move away from buying the farm in the interstellar war the Terran Federation is waging against the Arachnids. Because everyone in the Mobile Infantry fights. And if the training doesn’t kill you, the Bugs are more than ready to finish the job.

Die baas van Babilon
A boring, overacted, repetitive misunderstandings and useless storyline. Very old fashioned and continued patos makes it unbearable to read . I paid for it so I finished it.
