    Tiger Hills is a sweeping multigenerational story set in a coffee plantation in Coorg, southern India, in the 19th Century. The novel begins with the birth of Devi, a special child, who befriends a young boy whose mother has died in tragic circumstances. Devi and Devanna become inseparable as they go to school together and learn more about the extended family that surrounds them. Things change when Devi meets Muthi, a young man who has killed a tiger and is feted as a hero. Although she is still a child and Muthi is a man, Devi vows that one day she will marry him. This love gradually drives a wedge between her and her friend Devanna, who has been taken under the wing of a local missionary. She is blind to the fact that Devanna himself has fallen for her. He leaves the village to study medicine, in the hope that when he returns she will see his worth and return his love, but then a tragedy changes the fate of all three, with far-reaching consequences for the generations to come.

    Nell Zink is a writer of extraordinary talent and range. Her work insistently raises the possibility that the world is larger and stranger than the world you think you know. (Jonathan Franzen) Virginia, 1966. The motionless deeps of the lake outside Stillwater College are being ruffled. Lee, a blue-blooded poet and professor, is determinedly fondling Peggy, an ingénue freshman with literary pretensions, in his canoe. So begins a long affair, but the two are mismatched from the start. The story that follows rocks the boat in every sense. Nell Zink's hugely entertaining, totally unique Mislaid explodes the nuclear family and topples every foundation of identity - black and white, gay and straight, "normal" and very very strange.... ungekürzt.

    Jemand mußte Josef K. verleumdet haben, denn ohne daß er etwas Böses getan hätte, wurde er eines Morgens verhaftet." So beginnt der unvollendete, postum veröffentlichte Roman von Franz Kafka. Erzählt wird die Geschichte des Bankprokuristen Josef K., der an seinem 30. Geburtstag von einer mysteriösen Behörde der Prozeß gemacht werden soll. Vergeblich versucht er in der Folge herauszufinden, wessen er angeklagt wurde und wie er sich rechtfertigen könnte. Doch je mehr er seine Unschuld verteidigen will, desto tiefer gerät er in das grauenhafte Labyrinth einer surrealen Bürokratie mit undurchschaubaren Gesetzen, deren Sinn die "Sinnlosigkeit" ist. Von einer anonymen, für ihn unerreichbaren Gerichtsinstanz wird er schließlich in einem Prozess, von dem nicht nur die Öffentlichkeit, sondern auch er selbst ausgeschlossen bleibt, zum Tod verurteilt. Nie erfährt er, worin seine "Schuld" besteht. Dennoch fügt er sich diesem Urteil... deutsch. Martin May. https://samples.audible.de/bk/hgut/000024/bk_hgut_000024_sample.mp3.

    In the wake of crash-landing on a deserted tropical island, a group of private-school teens must rely on their wits and one another to survive. Having just survived a plane crash, Samantha Mishra finds herself isolated and injured in the thick of the jungle. She has no idea where she is or where anybody else is - she doesn't even know if anybody else is alive. Once Sam connects with her best friend, Mel, and they locate the others, they set up camp and hope for rescue. But as the days pass, the survivors, all teammates on the Drake Rosemont fencing team, realize that they're on their own - with the exception of a mysterious presence who taunts and threatens them. When their initial attempts to escape the island fail, the teens find they need to survive more than the jungle...they need to survive each other. This taut novel, with a setting evocative of Lord of the Flies, is by turns cinematic and intimate, and always thought-provoking. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Soneela Nankani.
