    Sodom und Gomorrha, Hörbuch, Digital, 318min
    Eine Stunde ist nicht bloß eine Stunde ...Die Tischordnung beim Diner, der verschwiegene Wink einer Gräfin, die Art, in der ein Minister sein Monokel einklemmt oder eine Herzogin ihren heimlichen Liebhaber vorstellt, die Charaktereigenschaften der Kutscher - all diesen Vorgängen widmete Marcel Proust seine Aufmerksamkeit. In diesem Schlüsselwerk erzählt Proust von einer schockierenden Entdeckung: Der Baron von Charlus, sein guter Bekannter, ist homosexuell. Und nicht nur er: In der lasterhaften Welt der besseren Gesellschaft gibt es kaum einen braven Familienvater, der nicht verstohlene Blicke auf hübsche Jünglinge wirft; Mädchen wirbeln Brust an Brust über die Tanzfläche, und unser Held stolpert von einem Eifersuchtsdrama ins nächste. deutsch.

    Absolute Friends , Hörbuch, Digital, gekürzt, 394min
    Absolute Friends is a superbly paced novel spanning 56 years, a theatrical masterstroke of tragi-comic writing and a savage fable of our times, almost of our hours.

The two men first meet as students in riot-torn West Berlin of the late '60s, again in the grimy looking-glass of Cold War espionage and, most terribly, in today’s world of terror. Spanning 56 years, Absolute Friends is a savage fable of our times. gekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: John le Carré.

    Paradies und Jenseits: Der Tod in den Weltreligionen, Hörbuch, Digital, 73min
    Wir alle müssen sterben, deshalb kann keinen Menschen das Thema Tod kalt lassen. Mit zunehmendem Alter wird jeder nicht nur mit der eigenen Sterblichkeit konfrontiert, sondern erlebt Tod und Sterben in der Familie, bei Freunden und Bekannten. Die Frage nach dem Tod und dem Sterben ist also allgegenwärtig. Umso wichtiger ist es, sich ein Bild davon zu machen, wie andere Kulturen und Religionen mit dieser existentiellen Sache umgehen. Das Hörbuch des renommierten Religionswissenschaftlers Hasenfratz greift alle wichtigen Fragestellungen allgemeinverständlich und interreligiös auf: Welche Vorstellungen vom Jenseits gibt es und wie bereiten sich die Gläubigen auf ihre Existenz nach dem Tod vor? Welche Riten haben die Glaubensgemeinschaften entwickelt, um der Tatsache des Todes gerecht zu werden, das Leid zu bewältigen? Die zahlreichen Beispiele verleihen dem Text besondere Farbigkeit. deutsch. Martin Falk. https://samples.audible.de/bk/lind/002563/bk_lind_002563_sample.mp3.

    Domestic Violets: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 660min
    Tom Violet always thought that by the time he turned 35, he’d have everything going for him. Fame. Fortune. A beautiful wife. A satisfying career as a successful novelist. A happy dog to greet him at the end of the day. The reality, though, is far different. He’s got a wife, but their problems are bigger than he can even imagine. And he’s written a novel, but the manuscript he’s slaved over for years is currently hidden in his desk drawer while his father, an actual famous writer, just won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. His career, such that it is, involves mind-numbing corporate buzzwords, his pretentious archnemesis Gregory, and a hopeless, completely inappropriate crush on his favorite coworker. Oh... and his dog, according to the vet, is suffering from acute anxiety. Tom’s life is crushing his soul, but he’s decided to do something about it. (Really.) Domestic Violets is the brilliant and beguiling story of a man finally taking control of his own happiness - even if it means making a complete idiot of himself along the way. ungekürzt.

    Red on Red: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1029min
    From the author of the celebrated and best-selling memoir Blue Blood (“May be the best account ever written of life behind the badge.” Time) comes this highly anticipated fiction debut. In Red on Red, Edward Conlon tells the story of two NYPD detectives, Meehan and Esposito: one damaged and introspective, the other ambitious and unscrupulous. Meehan is compelled by haunting and elusive stories that defy easy resolution, while Esposito is drawn to cases of rough and ordinary combat. A fierce and unlikely friendship develops between them and plays out against a tangle of mysteries: a lonely immigrant who hangs herself in Inwood Hill Park, a serial rapist preying on upper Manhattan, a troubled Catholic schoolgirl who appears in the wrong place with uncanny regularity, and a savage gang war that erupts over a case of mistaken identity. Red on Red captures the vibrant dynamic of a successful police partnership—the tests of loyalty, the necessary betrayals, the wedding of life and work—and tells an unrelenting and exciting story that captures the grittiness, complexity, ironies, and compromises of life on the job. ungekürzt.
