Publisher's summary
Dit is die jaar 1901. Die son het gesak oor ’n verskroeide landskap, en die landskap verwelkom die duister. Die doringdraad en tentrye van die konsentrasiekamp is nog net ’n swart vlek op die vlakte. En aan die rand hiervan gloei ’n tent soos ’n lantern. Diegene wat vanuit die duister na hierdie tent sou staar, sou teen die helder tentdoek die silhoeët sien van ’n man wat oor die klawerbord van ’n klavier buig. Die een wat vanuit die nag sou kyk, sou ook op die kampbed die regop gestalte van ’n sittende vrou kon uitmaak. Diegene wat vanuit die kamp sou luister, hulle wat nie reeds volledig deur die stryd tussen lewe en dood ingeneem is nie, sou dalk agter die onbeholpe klavierspel van die man die vergeefse smagting hoor, agter die wankelende note die stilte wat groter is as enige geluid.
Jare later buig majoor Philip Brooks in ’n biblioteek oor ’n vergelende foto. En hy probeer vasstel wat dit is wat hy op daardie foto sien. Hy probeer onthou wat gebeur het. Dit was hy in daardie tent. Die vrou op die bed was die mooiste vrou wat hy nog gesien het. Die klavier het gekom uit haar huis, een van die plaashuise wat sy soldate afgebrand het. Nou probeer hy kyk met die oog van Joey Drew, die skeeloog sukkelaar van Somerset, Engeland, wat die foto’s geneem het. Hy kyk na ’n foto van ’n vrou met ’n baba in haar arms. Hy weet wat die pa van die kind nie geweet het toe hý die foto gesien het nie, dat die kind dood was. Dat hy een van die duisende slagoffers van die konsentrasiekampe was. Hy kyk na ’n familiefoto van die Van Wyks, en nog een keer, voordat die vergetelheid so koud soos die graf self oor alle geheue sak, probeer hy deur Joey se foto’s die verhaal van die Van Wyks agterhaal.
Hierdie roman is sekerlik die uitnemendste toonbeeld van P.G. du Plessis se vertelkuns. Deur elkeen van hierdie onvergeetlike Van Wyks en hul bywoners, die Minters, dra hy ’n eie persoonlike tragedie in by die wyer ellende van die oorlog, en so word die oorloggegewe ’n vervlegting van uiters intense menslike dramas, onvergeetlike taferele van vergeefse liefde, verydelde drome en die verbryseling van menslikheid. Sentraal is die verhaal van Daantjie en Magrieta van Wyk, hy ’n Blinkstefaans en sy die allerpragtigste vrou. Hulle twee oorleef die oorlog, maar dan as draers en verteenwoordigers van die uiterstes in die menslike aard wat deur die oorlog op die spits gedryf is. Ook die Engelse offissier Philip Brooks oorleef die oorlog, en in sy bewussyn kry hierdie droewe geskiedenis ‘n nuwe relevansie.
Du Plessis se roman is weliswaar een van die heel grootste werke oor die Boereoorlog, maar dit is ook ‘n werk wat in ‘n hedendaagse idioom vrae vra oor hoe ons onthou, wat ons onthou en wat die implikasies is van vergeet. En stellig die klinkklaarste antwoord op hierdie vrae is die feit dat sy boek ‘n onvergeetbare leeservaring is.

Story
Kamphoer is die ware verhaal van ’n vrou wat gedurende die Anglo-Boereoorlog wreedaardig verkrag en vir die aasvoëls gegooi is. Met die hulp van ’n reeks weldoeners ontsnap sy aan die kloue van die dood en wy sy uiteindelik haar lewe aan die genesing van presies die soort trauma waaraan sy onderworpe was. En in die proses word sy teruggestamp in ’n bomkrater wat sy geglo het lank reeds toegegroei het en veilig bedek was. In Kamphoer word die weerbarstigheid van die menslike gees opgeweeg teen die ewe blywende invloed van trauma.

Janien was op die oog af geliefd, 'n suksesvolle kunstenaar met 'n slag vir besigheid, en op die punt om met haar universiteitsliefde te trou. Was dit selfdood of moord? Waarom is die toneel om haar liggaam so sorgvuldig, amper kunstig, gerangskik? En hoekom is haar rekenaar se geheue voor die tyd so sorgvuldig skoongevee?

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.

Story
When Heather McKinley dreamed of becoming a doctor, she imagined curing sick kids and sporting pink stethoscopes. She never anticipated the sleepless nights, grueling exams, and endless labs. And she certainly never knew that her medical school earned the nickname Dead Med thanks to the tragic history of students overdosing on illegal drugs. But Heather would never consider doing anything like that. That is, until her longtime boyfriend dumps her, she finds herself failing anatomy, and her world starts to crumble.

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.

Uitstekende verhaal
Uitmuntende verhaal en fantasiese beskrywende taalgebruik. Karakter beskrywing is so goed gedoen dat mens elke persoon in jou geestesoog kan voorstel. Voorlesing is met volle oortuiging gelewer. Geskiedenis is baie akuraat saamgevat. Dankie vir die nostalgie.

Very descriptive
Great story, great reader and extremely descriptive. Some scene may a bit too graphic and haunting, but has given me a new insight on South-African history. Really enjoyed it, and I don't normally listen to fiction or Afrikaans- but may be converted now

Put on your seatbelt!
I had memories, growing up in South Africa, of PG Du Plessis as a writer with some degree of controversy surrounding him. Maybe it was just that I heard much about him, saw him on TV shows - but never actually read anything he wrote. So, I thought - "I should give this book a try." OMG! Hold on to your seatbelts! This is an incredibly well written story and PG takes you on a roller coaster ride you will never forget. Dang! I was transferred to a reality I had never fully understood about South African history and the Boer War. Highly, highly recommended!

‘n Eerlike samebimding van soveel emosies, Afrikaanse idiome en menslikhede teen die agtergrond van die hartseer stuk geskiedenis. Dankie oom PG, hierdie is ‘n geskenk vir ons kinders en hul kinders. Rus in vrede.

Briljante boek en voorlesing.
Vir my, briljante voorlesing. Met PG du Plessis moet jy elke woord kan hoor want dit is meesterlik gekies. Die storie was eerlik, geloofwaardig en boeiend.

Ek gaan die boek nog 'n paar keer luister!
Ek vertsaan nou hoekom die gesien word as een van die beste afrikaanse boeke daar buite! Dit was ongelooflik, ek weet ek sal die boek vir baie mense stuur, en Anrich se stem was ongelooflik! Die storie het my deur my emosies gesit en maak wonder hoekom ons nie meer op skool oor die oorlog en die daade van die Engelse geleer het nie. Ongelooflike storie! Dankie
