Afterimage

Afterimage Slow Motion

Gutaussehend, sportlich, charmant: der Musterschüler Kikuchihara ist an seiner Schule quasi ein Gott. Niemand ist ihm gewachsen! Nun, außer vielleicht der schlaksige Ichikawa, der mit seiner Leidenschaft und seinem Talent für Filmregie Kikuchiharas Position an der Spitze des Filmklubs bedroht. Als sich ausgerechnet diese beiden ein Zimmer im Wohnheim ihrer Schule teilen müssen, ist das Chaos vorprogrammiert.

Afterimage: The Enertia Trials Series, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 748min

Reggie's dreams... aren't dreams. Visions of the future flood her mind like shards of broken puzzles. Caged in her cell, every morning begins the same. She's drugged, tortured, and images are torn from her memory by Public One. Until the morning everything changes. The vision is different. The future's never been about her, and now she knows they're coming for her: Nomads. How will she convince them to keep her alive when Nate, their leader, doesn't like or even trust her? To him, she's a science experiment. A machine. When Public One will do anything to keep her, Reggie must make a decision: remain a slave to her past, or risk her future to venture into a world more terrifying than she's ever known. ungekürzt.

Suspended Sentences: Three Novellas , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 397min

In this essential trilogy of novellas by the winner of the 2014 Nobel Prize in Literature, French author Patrick Modiano reaches back in time, opening the corridors of memory and exploring the mysteries to be encountered there. Each novella in the volume - Afterimage, Suspended Sentences, and Flowers of Ruin - represents a sterling example of the author's originality and appeal, while Mark Polizzotti's superb English-language translations capture not only Modiano's distinctive narrative voice but also the matchless grace and spare beauty of his prose. Although originally published separately, Modiano's three novellas form a single, compelling whole, haunted by the same gauzy sense of place and characters. Modiano draws on his own experiences, blended with the real or invented stories of others, to present a dreamlike autobiography that is also the biography of a place. Orphaned children, mysterious parents, forgotten friends, enigmatic strangers - all appear in this three-part love song to a Paris that no longer exists. Shadowed by the dark period of the Nazi Occupation, these novellas reveal Modiano's fascination with the lost, obscure, or mysterious: a young person's confusion over adult behavior; the repercussions of a chance encounter; the search for a missing father; the aftershock of a fatal affair. To listen to Modiano's trilogy is to enter his world of uncertainties and the almost accidental way in which people find their fates. ungekürzt. Language: English.

The Journey of Losing a Soulmate to Cancer, Hörbuch, Digital, 54min

In this interview, Carla Malden speaks with candor and clarity about her experience of living through the debilitating disease and death of her husband and work partner. You will hear how she learned the new language of medicine, how she coped with the reoccurrence of illness, and how she coped with the guilt of things said or not said. She shares the paradox of wanting things to be normal when they are so out of kilter, how therapy is useful for the entire family when a loved one is dying, and what it was like to bring her husband home to die. She describes her process of grieving over time, how writing helped with the grief, and how she coped with survivor’s guilt. Her experience can help us all in breaking the 'habit" of someone close to us after they have died, as well as in supporting another who is going through deep grief. Carla Malden has been a screenwriter and published author. She began her career as the assistant to renowned director Elia Kazan. With her husband and screen writing partner, Laurence Starkman, she co-wrote many screen plays and produced and wrote several award winning short films. Along with her father, Academy Award winning actor Karl Malden, she co-authored his critically acclaimed memoir, When Do I Start? (Limelight Editions 2004) and she is the author of Afterimage, A Broken Hearted Memoir of a Charmed Life (Skirt! 2011). Language: English. Narrator: Justine Willis Toms.
