  Oscar klop aan die deur en Reeva kom maak vir hom oop. Die man wat oor die drumpel trap, wat vir die laaste keer by hierdie huis instap, is Oscar Pistorius, skatryk, alomgeliefde wêreldberoemde Olimpiese held. Die man wat oor minder as 24 uur by dieselfde deur sal uit steier, sal 'n ánder Oscar wees. Berug, bebloed, bedroef, 'n flentersgebreekte spieël van homself."Dis die verhoor van die jaar, die storie van die dekade. Dis 'n liefdesverhaal wat 'n hofdrama geword het, 'n sprokie wat in bloed geëindig het.Die Oscar Pistorius-saak is al van hoek tot kant bestudeer en ontleed, in berigte en debatte bespreek. Maar nog nooit is dit van die begin tot die end as 'n spanningsverhaal vertel nie. En dít is wat Marida Fitzpatrick in Die Staat vs. Oscar doen. Sy weef die skrikwekkende gebeure van daardie nag en die mees dramatiese dele van die verhoor op só 'n manier ineen dat die boek soos 'n misdaadriller lees. Tussendeur dié boeiende vertelling is uittreksels uit roerende onderhoude met van die betrokkenes se naastes. Die boek bevat ook 'n interessante ontrafeling van die tegniese aspekte van die verhoor: Wat het die ballistiek, die getuienis oor die gille en Oscar se twee verwere uiteindelik vir hom beteken? Dit word alles geïllustreer met foto's wat op die toneel geneem is en grafiese voorstellings. Die Staat vs. Oscar is 'n fassinerende storie wat nie net al die legkaartstukke van die Oscar-raaisel in plek laat val nie, maar deurentyd aangryp en meesleur.

  As seen on Investigation Discovery: “A true crime murder mystery that will leave you gasping for breath.” —Steve Jackson, New York Times–bestselling author of No Stone Unturned   Frank Rodriguez, a much-loved counselor of troubled teens, lies dead on the bedroom floor. His wife and stepdaughter are in shock, and so is the medical examiner when he performs the autopsy. Aside from being dead, Frank is in perfect health.   Demanding to know the cause of her husband’s death, Angie Rodriguez badgers the police, insisting that Frank was murdered. The cops attribute her assertions to overwhelming grief, but soon they too believe that Frank didn’t die of natural causes.   When the police enlist their number one suspect to help in the investigation, things spiral out of control until law enforcement is dealing with a daring plot to murder Angie’s best friend, and allegations of another homicide so evil and perverse that even seasoned LA County Detectives are shocked beyond belief . . .  New York Times–bestselling and Edgar Award–winning author “Burl Barer, with co-author Frank Giradot, has hit yet another home run with this crime story. A smart and well-written who-dunnit tale” (Cathy Scott, Los Angeles Times–bestselling author of The Killing of Tupac Shakur).   “A doozy of a murder.” —Suzy Spencer, New York Times–bestselling author of Breaking Point

  In the popular imagination, Spain conjures up a picture of rapacious conquistadores, fiery flamenco dancers, and brilliant artists. All true enough—but how closely does everyday life in modern Spain conform to these dramatic stereotypes? This book explores the complex human realities of contemporary Spanish life. It describes how Spain’s history and geography have created both strongly felt regional differences and shared values and attitudes. It reveals what the Spaniards are like at home and in business, how they socialize, and how to build lasting relationships with them. The better you understand the Spanish people, the more you will be enriched by your experience of this vital, warm, and varied country—where the individual is important and the enjoyment of life is paramount.

  Ecclesiastes

  Solomon

  According to rabbinic tradition, Ecclesiastes was written by Solomon in his old age. Ecclesiastes is presented as biography of "Kohelet" or "Qoheleth"; his story is framed by the voice of the narrator, who refers to Kohelet in the third person, praises his wisdom, but reminds the reader that wisdom has its limitations and is not man's main concern. Kohelet reports what he planned, did, experienced and thought, but his journey to knowledge is, in the end, incomplete; the reader is not only to hear Kohelet's wisdom, but to observe his journey towards understanding and acceptance of life's frustrations and uncertainties: the journey itself is important. 
  This audio edition of Ecclesiastes is read from the King James Bible.
