    Sink: Old Man's Tale , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 199min
    A sinkhole is a natural phenomenon. It can happen anywhere, anytime. It drinks lakes dry, consumes jungles, and even demolishes entire mountains. You may have seen one in your street. But these things aren't lost. They've simply been moved. Things are forgotten on the surface all the time. Beneath the crust, they're always remembered. It's just another day for unscrupulous developer Graham Turner when he breaks into an old man's home to steal his property deeds. But when he's sucked through a sinkhole into a forgotten world deep beneath the earth's surface, Graham and the old man must rely on each other if they are to survive and escape this dangerous new world and return to the surface. Sink. A forgotten world. A lost world. But not for long. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Savannah Rivers. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/079126/bk_acx0_079126_sample.mp3.

    The Immoral Bible: Bad Advice From the Good Book , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 393min
    How well do we know the most famous book of all time? The Immoral Bible offers a critical look at the morals of holy scripture, and argues that they're not all they're cracked up to be. At once honest, provocative and witty, James Rauthner guides us through the Bible's most famous stories, in both the Old and New Testaments, and lays bare their bad ethics and terrible advice. He demolishes the notion of the Bible as a moral guide, proving that the "Good Book" is much more likely to lead us astray than teach us to be virtuous. From Proverbs' absurd financial advice to Jesus' twisted family values, The Immoral Bible offers plenty of food for thought for Christians and non-Christians alike. One thing is certain: Anyone who listens to this work will think twice before sending their children to Sunday School. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: James Rauthner.

    Do Lead , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 144min

And what's more, we should. Because effective leadership is goal-oriented, not people-oriented. It's about the person with the right skills putting themselves forward.

    Yellow Back Radio Broke-Down , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 231min
    Folks. This here is the story of the Loop Garoo Kid. A cowboy so bad he made a working posse of spells phone in sick. A bullwhacker so unfeeling he left the print of winged mice on hides of crawling women. A desperado so onery he made the Pope cry and the most powerful of cattlemen shed his head to the Executioner's swine. And so begins the HooDoo Western by Ishmael Reed, author of Mumbo Jumbo and one of America's most innovative and celebrated writers. Reed demolishes white American history and folklore as well as Christian myth in this masterful satire of contemporary American life. In addition to the black, satanic Loop Garoo Kid, Yellow Back Radio Broke-Down features Drag Gibson (a rich, slovenly cattleman), Mustache Sal (his nymphomaniac mail-order bride), Thomas Jefferson, and many others in a hilarious parody of the old western. ungekürzt.

    Pablo Escobar: Beyond Narcos , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 479min
    The mind-blowing true story of Pablo Escobar and the Medellín Cartel beyond their portrayal on Netflix. Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar was a devoted family man and a psychopathic killer; a terrible enemy, yet a wonderful friend. While donating millions to the poor, he bombed and tortured his enemies - some had their eyeballs removed with hot spoons. Through ruthless cunning and America's insatiable appetite for cocaine, he became a multi-billionaire, who lived in a $100-million house with its own zoo. Pablo Escobar: Beyond Narcos demolishes the standard good versus evil telling of his story. The authorities were not hunting Pablo down to stop his cocaine business. They were taking it over. Shaun Attwood's War on Drugs trilogy - Pablo Escobar, American Made, and We Are Being Lied To - is a series of harrowing, action-packed and interlinked true stories that demonstrate the catastrophic consequences of drug prohibition. ungekürzt.

    Inglorious Empire: What the British Did to India , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 633min
    Penguin presents the audiobook edition of Inglorious Empire, written and read by Shashi Tharoor.  In the 18th century, India's share of the world economy was as large as Europe's. By 1947, after two centuries of British rule, it had decreased sixfold. The empire blew rebels from cannon, massacred unarmed protesters, entrenched institutionalised racism and caused millions to die from starvation.  British imperialism justified itself as enlightened despotism for the benefit of the governed, but Shashi Tharoor demolishes this position, demonstrating how every supposed imperial 'gift' - from the railways to the rule of law - was designed in Britain's interests alone. He goes on to show how Britain's Industrial Revolution was founded on India's deindustrialisation and the destruction of its textile industry.  In this bold and incisive reassessment of colonialism, Tharoor exposes to devastating effect the inglorious reality of Britain's stained Indian legacy.  ungekürzt.

    The Soft Machine: The Restored Text: The Nova Trilogy, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 378min
    In The Soft Machine, William S. Burroughs begins an adventure that will take us into the dark recesses of his imagination, a region where nothing is sacred, nothing taboo. Continuing his ferocious verbal assault on hatred, hype, poverty, war, bureaucracy, and addiction in all its forms, Burroughs gives us a surreal space odyssey through the wounded galaxies in a book only he could create. A total assault on the powers that turn humans into machines by writing and fixing our life scripts, Burroughs' original "cut-up" book was itself rewritten in three different forms. This new edition of The Soft Machine clarifies for the first time the extraordinary history of its writing and rewriting, demolishes the myths of his chance-based writing methods, and demonstrates for a new generation the significance of Burroughs' greatest experiment. ungekürzt.

    Ode to Kirihito: New Omnibus Edition
    ARE YOU A BEAST? It may or may not be contagious. There seems to be no cure for it. Yet Monmow Disease, a life-threatening condition that transforms a person into a dog-like beast, is not the only villain in this shocking triumph of a medical thriller by manga-god Osamu Tezuka. Said to have been the personal favorite of the artist, who held a degree in medicine, and surprisingly attentive to Christian themes and imagery, Ode to Kirihito demolishes naive notions about human nature and health and likely preconceptions about the comics master himself. A promising young doctor, Kirihito Osanai visits a remote Japanese mountain village to investigate the source of the latest epidemiological mystery. While he ends up traveling the world to discover what it takes to be cured of such a disease, a conspiracy back home attempts to explain away his absence. From plutocratic Taipei and apartheid South Africa to backwater Syria and metropolitan Osaka, ambition and desire beckon "normal men" to behave uglier than any beast as we examine the true worth of human beings through and beyond appearances.
