Publisher's summary
Eleanor Baker se Die ander Marta het as tema die “dienende Marta” wat met al haar verborge verlangens en vrese aanhou om haar rol gedienstig te vervul, maar dan deur ʼn groot ingryping (hier grotendeels deur haarself geïnisieer) geleidelik bevry word. Die Marta van die titel is ʼn middeljarige boervrou wat op ʼn dag breekpunt bereik, die motor vat en wegry na die Weskus met die idee om ʼn einde aan alles te maak. Maar haar selfmoordpoging misluk en sy vind ʼn tydelike heenkome in ʼn eenvoudige klein vissersgemeenskap. Die verhaal fokus ook op haar man, Hendrik, se reaksie nadat hy agtergekom het sy’s weg, en hoe hy ook uiteindelik tot ander insigte kom. Die spel tussen man en vrou in ʼn “gebonde” situasie word vindingryk weergegee, en die verwikkelde grein van ʼn emosioneel verwaarloosde vrou soos Marta word met fyn insig geteken. Die menslikheid en humor waarmee Baker alledaagse ervarings uitbeeld, is een van die redes waarom haar boeke so gewild is en sy soveel lojale lesers het.

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.

Dit is Simone se annus horribilis. Op vier en veertig stap sy vir die tweede keer uit n huwelik, bankrot, werkloos, moedeloos, verbrysel. Al wat sy het om van vier en veertig jaar te wys, is n bedenklike verlede, n tienerseun wat skaars met haar praat, en die besef van mislukking en ontoereikendheid wat soos n meulsteen om haar nek hang. Al waarheen sy het om te gaan, is die kleinburgerlike dorp op die Oos-Vrystaatse platteland waar sy grootgeword het, waar haar konserwatiewe ma en konvensionele suster haar gedurig aan haar tekortkominge kan herinner. Rock bottom, dis waar sy is.

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.

Story
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.

Story
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.

Story
Narrator Dan Stevens ( Downton Abbey) presents an uncanny performance of Mary Shelley's timeless gothic novel, an epic battle between man and monster at its greatest literary pitch. In trying to create life, the young student Victor Frankenstein unleashes forces beyond his control, setting into motion a long and tragic chain of events that brings Victor to the very brink of madness. How he tries to destroy his creation, as it destroys everything Victor loves, is a powerful story of love, friendship, scientific hubris, and horror.
