Under Dark Skies: The Steampunk Adventure of Bonnie & Clyde , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 285min
It's 1932, more than 20 years after the First World War, when the Mechanical Nautiluses of the Mad Baron's fleet beached New England's shores and shelled New York City. You might be tempted to say that it's a time of peace and prosperity - only it's certainly not. At least, not for all those middle Americans living under the rolling clouds of the Great Smog, churned out by the Steam factories that are popping up everywhere, causing crop failures, blights, and dust-storms. It's certainly not peaceful for Clyde Chestnut Barrow and Bonnie Parker, two of the best outlaws and bank-robbers in the south. Especially so when a fellow inmate at Eastham Farm Prison lets Clyde onto a sure thing - an easy job that could win them a whole lot of money. Unfortunately, it's not just the cops who will be after them, but one of America's biggest gangster crime bosses. Bonnie & Clyde as you have never seen them before! An action-packed steampunk adventure. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Stephanie Milosevich. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/082100/bk_acx0_082100_sample.mp3.

The Easy Way for Women to Stop Drinking , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 362min
Allen Carr's Easyway is the most effective stop-smoking method of all time and it has now been successfully applied to a wide range of other issues. Here the method focuses on one of the fastest-growing problems of modern times for women: drinking. Alcohol blights women's lives often in a distinctly different way to men's: women tend to stay at home drinking alcohol; women often feel particular shame over drinking too much; drinking around children can be a particular burden. In summary there are a lot of added pressures on women to stop drinking, and often they feel this is an impossible task. Luckily, Allen Carr's Easyway makes it easy to stop drinking. It's the tried-and-tested cessation method that really works. With startling insight into why women drink and clear, simple, step-by-step instructions, Allen Carr shows you the way to escape from the alcohol trap in the time it takes to listen to this audiobook. ungekürzt.

October 1485: With the English crown finally in his possession, Henry Tudor’s endeavors to restore order to the realm are hindered by continuing unrest. While the king is plagued with uprisings and pretenders to his throne, Margaret in her capacity as the king’s mother oversees the running of his court. The warring houses of York and Lancaster are united, the years of civil strife are at an end, but as the royal nursery fills with children, the threats to Henry’s throne persist, and Margaret’s expectation of perfect harmony begins to disintegrate.

Mad Monkton , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 158min
William Wilkie Collins (1824-1889) was an English novelist, playwright, and author of short stories. Mad Monkton is a bizarre ghost story. It is said that a strain of hereditary madness blights the Monkton family, heirs to the huge domain of Wincot Abbey. Rumours in the neighbourhood are that Alfred, the youngest scion, has inherited this insanity. His odd behaviour certainly points that way. Alfred is engaged to his childhood sweetheart, Ada Elmslie. But at the very moment when various obstacles to the match are overcome, Alfred suddenly departs for Italy on what appears to be a wild goose chase, seeking the corpse of his disreputable uncle, who is believed to have been killed in a duel. But what could have driven Alfred to do this? And why does he so desperately want to find his late uncle's remains? The mystery is bizarre and gruesome...and the tale takes on one weird twist after another. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Cathy Dobson.

Incubus: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 697min
National Book Award winner Ann Arensberg brings listeners a modern horror story about evil descending on an insular Maine town. It begins with the theft of six candles from the church altar, a few herbs found strewn in the local graveyard. In the summer of 1974, the prosperous farming community of Dry Falls, Maine, is hit by a brutal heat wave. Crops fail. Drought blights once-verdant lawns. Men inexplicably lose all interest in sex, while women complain of erotic nocturnal visitations. Farm animals give birth to monstrosities. An unholy, unimaginable force is disrupting the natural order - and it seems to be specifically targeting Dry Falls. Narrated by the careful and practical Cora Whitman, wife of the town pastor, this tale of creeping strangeness quickly turns sinister. Incubus subtly builds to its shattering climax with Cora at its epicenter. Expertly interweaving themes of faith, religion, and marriage with that of the supernatural, this modern horror classic will enthrall fans of Ann Arensberg and attract a legion of new listeners. ungekürzt.

Sutta Nipata: The Group of Discourses , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 341min
It is widely accepted that the Sutta Nipata contains 'the earliest recorded version' of the Buddha's teaching. It is an anthology of poetry and prose - 70 titled suttas of varied instruction and temperament arranged in five chapters. At the start are two of its most famous suttas: The Snake, in which the actions of the practising bhikkhu approaching liberation is likened to a snake that 'leaves its old worn-out skin'; and The Rhinoceros Horn, which expounds the virtue of solitude for those with serious spiritual intent. But this anthology is full of character and characters: the Buddha condemns caste (which still blights Indian society); he engages with a varied host of questioners, from householders and brahmins to spiritual seekers, clarifying their confusions and exhorting them to pursue a path of wisdom and compassion. Uncompromising and ancient in tone, it offers a flavour of the very early days of the Buddha's teaching and the India of his time. K. R. Norman's authoritative translation ensures clarity and immediacy of comprehension. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jinananda.
