Die swerfjare van Poppie Nongena [The Long Journey of Poppie Nongena] , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 812min

Die swerfjare van Poppie Nongena het by verskyning in November 1978 die gemoed van die hele land beroer. Binne vier maande is dit drie keer herdruk. Dit is in 1979 met die Luyt-, die CNA- en die W.A. Hofmeyr-prys bekroon. In 1981 is dit deur die Royal Society of Literature in Londen aangewys as die beste streekroman wat in Engels verskyn het; Elsa Joubert word ook ‘n Fellow van die Society. Sedertdien is die roman vertaal in Frans, Spaans, Duits, Nederlands en Italiaans. In 1985 het ‘n Amerikaanse uitgawe verskyn. Hoë lof is van kritici ontvang. Audrey Blignault het die betekenis van die roman só saamgevat: "n Aangrypende, onvergeetlike boek wat die sluier tussen die witmens en die swartmens in Suid-Afrika afruk." André P. Brink het dit in Rapport as die boek van die jaar in die Afrikaanse prosa uitgesonder: "'n Visioen van menslike gevangeneskap... Ontstemmend en indrukwekkend... Verpligte literatuur vir elke mens wat oor hierdie land wil saampraat. "Oorsee het die gesaghebbende Sunday Times Literary Supplement ‘n entoesiastiese bespreking van die roman geplaas. En The Times se resensent skryf: "(The novel) unfolds with the inexorable force of a Greek tragedy." As voorhoogstuk was Poppie eweneens suksesvol. Dit is in sowel Afrikaans as Engels landwyd opgevoer. In New York is dit eers in ‘n eksperimentele teater aangebied; daarna het dit as Off Broadway-opvoering die Obi-toekenning verwerf vir die beste dramateks. Dit is gekies vir die Edinburgh-toneelfees, en later ook in Londen opgevoer, waar Thuli Dumakude as Poppie die gesogte Olivier-prys verower het. Vervolgens is dit opgevoer in Australië, Kanada en Chicago. Die skryfster self sê oor dié suksesverhaal: "Die lewe van die werklike Poppie het my diep geraak, en my beklem. Hier was ‘n vrou, magteloos vasgevang in ‘n onmenslike sisteem, wat veg vir die bestaan van haar gesin. Deur die boek wou ek aan haar ‘n stem gee." Please note: This audiobook ungekürzt.

The Hunchback Missionary , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 744min

At a prayer meeting on a cold Rotterdam night, the young clerk Aart Anthonij van der Lingen - a pale, sickly, hunchbacked 'fish from the North' - is held in the charismatic Reverend Johannes Kicherer's thrall. Lured by Kicherer's passion, he leaves his grey and loveless life to land at the Cape of Good Hope as a lay missionary in 1800. But when the Missionary Society draws lots to determine where to send the new arrivals, Van der Lingen is sent east and Kicherer north. The hunchback missionary must make his own way in a place that, on the surface, God has forsaken - until, as the pitiless landscape and the blank faces of his would-be congregants strip Van der Lingen incrementally of his pride, he learns that he has nothing to give to the Africa that is ultimately his salvation. Based on historical figures drawn from the Cape Town Church Archives, The Hunchback Missionary by Elsa Joubert, world-renowned author of The Long Journey of Poppie Nongena, is a sweeping narrative of vanity and humility, of the sacred and the profane, of how Europe's rampant strides across newly colonised Africa led to the abyss from which a continent still struggles, today, to retreat. ungekürzt.
