About this listen
Agt en veertig uitgesoekte Dana-stories. Vir lesers wat wou weet wie daardie mense op die omslag van Dana se blitsverkoper Uit die binneland was, lê hy nou familie uit in die storie “Familiefoto”. Maar eintlik is al die mense in sy stories familie met dieselfde kwaal: Almal mik vir daardie ontwykende droom, wat nooit verbleik nie, anderkant die scrap. Om stories oor helde te skryf is moeilik. Om die weggesteekte mense onvergeetlik te maak is moeiliker, daarom is Dana se stories so onvergeetlik. Daaroor, en omdat die mense in sy stories van ver af kom. Hulle ry Valiants en weet nog van Uncle Charlie’s, padkafees, Geloftefees, Springbokradio en Kommuniste. Die mans dra nog pakke en die vroue hoede; tant Pop en oom Jorrie en so aan. Maar hy skryf ook oor vandag se mense. Party emigreer. Ander bly, hulle kyk sport en reis en kom mense teë. Elke nou en dan sien mens ‘n reënboog. “Ek is eintlik ’n baie gewone ou. Rustig. Daar is nie probleme nie. Op die toneel.”
Please note: This audiobook is in Afrikaans.

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.”

As Dana ná besoeke aan Orania, sy ouma-hulle se erf, Adriaan Vlok (met sy voetwasskottel) en Manji van Nkandla huis toe ry, is dit met 'n nuwe manier van kyk - en 'n nuwe hond. Die verhaal neem sy loop deur die Rugby Wêreldbeker, ontmoetings met oom Frik du Preez en Joost van der Westhuizen en 'n enigmatiese Valentynsboodskap. Op pad is Dana se eerlikste boek nog. Dit vra ons om op 'n nuwe reis te gaan, weg van vooroordeel en wantroue, na 'n plek van genade en hoop.

’n Nuwe lewe wag op hom. In 1939 bars die oorlogbom in Europa. Drie miljoen kinders word uit London ontruim na veiliger gebiede. Een van hulle is die sesjarige Charles Smith, op pad na ’n onbekende tante van sy pa in ’n klein dorpie in Skotland. By aunty Grace wag ’n nuwe lewe op hom. Aan die anderkant van Europa ruk die Duitse Sesde Leër op teen Rusland. Tussen die manskappe is die vurige majoor Oswald von Stein, Hildegard se stiefseun. Voor hulle wag die Russiese winter, Stalingrad en die krygsgevangenekampe van Siberië. 90 000 word gevange geneem, net sesduisend oorleef.

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.

Hierdie aangrypende roman oor ’n ongeletterde Nama-vrou van die Richtersveld speel af in die 1950’s. Katryn Jonis word van moord aangekla, maar sy kom agter die pro deo advokaat glo nie in haar onskuld nie en besluit dan om haar eie verdediging in die hof te behartig. Die vindingryke en berekende wyse waarop die reguit en passievolle Katryn die waarheid uit die staat se getuies in die hof trek, boei die leser deurgaans. Daar is baie vrae: Wie het dan die moord gepleeg, en hoekom?

Fees van die ongenooides is sekerlik die uitnemendste toonbeeld van P.G. du Plessis se vertelkuns. Sy 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.

Two little girls stand with their heads bowed in my living room. I’m told they’re my granddaughters. Daisy is nine, and Alice seven. Daisy is the spitting image of her mother. This is the first time I’ve met them since my daughter and I fell out after she married that waste of space, Vince. They’ve come to live with me because their mother — my daughter — was murdered. In her own home while they slept close by. I think Vince killed her. But the police can’t prove it. I’ve always known he was no good. He treated my daughter like dirt. I said he’d cheat on her — but she wouldn’t listen.

Two little girls stand with their heads bowed in my living room. I’m told they’re my granddaughters. Daisy is nine, and Alice seven. Daisy is the spitting image of her mother. This is the first time I’ve met them since my daughter and I fell out after she married that waste of space, Vince. They’ve come to live with me because their mother — my daughter — was murdered. In her own home while they slept close by. I think Vince killed her. But the police can’t prove it. I’ve always known he was no good. He treated my daughter like dirt. I said he’d cheat on her — but she wouldn’t listen.

It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

Clark Griswold was onto something...at least with his annual holiday meltdown. And since the last three weeks of my life have been riddled with humbug—another breakup, a broken toe, an office promotion I deserved and didn’t get—I’m not at all in the mood to celebrate nor have the happ, happ, happiest Christmas EVER.

Story
Lucas knows the perfect night entails just three things: video games, wine, and pad thai. Peanuts are a must! Other people? Not so much. Why complicate things when he’s happy alone? Then one day the apartment board, a vexing trio of authority, rings his doorbell. And Lucas’s solitude takes a startling hike. They demand to see his frying pan. Someone left one next to the recycling room overnight, and instead of removing the errant object, as Lucas suggests, they insist on finding the guilty party. But their plan backfires. Colossally.

Story
My fiancé brought me tea and scrambled eggs in bed that morning, and we snuggled together, talking about buying our rings, and about our perfect wedding next year. Then we headed into town. He held my hand and gazed at the ring I liked best, a smile spreading slowly over his face. Then a glass of bubbly to celebrate. I felt flushed, excited and ready for the rest of my life with the man I loved. We race to get on the train home. It screams to a halt and I run towards its open doors. Made it. I think he’s right behind me — but when I turn around, he’s gone.

Reis saam Dana
Die stories bring diep heimwee van ‘n vorige tyd in ons lewens as Suid Afrikaners. Dinge waarmee ons groot geword het, dinge eg aan ons as Suid Afrikaners en ons mense en hul dinge. Luister dit en dan luister dit weer...

Another Gem
Loved the content, voice over was very good. Would love to see more books of Dana Snyman on Audible. Stories were funny, sad thought provoking and ultimately South African.

Puik
Ek vermy Afrikaans boeke want oor die jare het ek min gekry wat die moeite werd was. Hierdie het Audible besluit moet ek lees. Huiwerig het ek dit gekoop. Jong ... binne die eerste 4 stories het ek 'n paar keer hardop gelag en 'n keer of wat gehuil. Die stories is eg. Johann Nel het so 'n lekker storie stem, soveel "daar".
Ek stel voor jy probeer dit, liewe leser. Jy sal nie spyt wees nie. Van die stories is snaaks, ander slaan jou wind uit. Maar dis 'n ietsie hierdie wat nie gemis moet word nie.

Rich South African storytelling
Johann Nel is a wonderful narrator. And Dana Snyman's stories paint a visual and memorable tale. I've listened to this book many times now - and enjoy it every time.
