  When the World was Flat (And We Were in Love) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 398min

  When sixteen-year-old Lillie Hart meets the gorgeous and mysterious Tom Windsor-Smith for the first time, it's like fireworks - for her, anyway. Tom looks as if he would be more interested in watching paint dry; as if he is bored by her and by her small Nebraskan town in general. But as Lillie begins to break down the walls of his seemingly impenetrable exterior, she starts to suspect that he holds the answers to her reoccurring nightmares and to the impossible memories which keep bubbling to the surface of her mind - memories of the two of them, together and in love. When she at last learns the truth about their connection, Lillie discovers that Tom has been hiding an earth-shattering secret; a secret that is bigger - and much more terrifying and beautiful - than the both of them. She also discovers that once you finally understand that the world is round, there is no way to make it flat again... ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Daniela Vanasco.

  Soul of a People: The WPA Writers' Project Uncovers Depression America , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 459min

  Soul of a People is about a handful of people who joined the Federal Writer's Project in the 1930s and offers a glimpse of America at a turning point. This particular handful of characters went from poverty to great things later, and included John Cheever, Ralph Ellison, Zora Neale Hurston, Richard Wright, Margaret Walker, Jim Thomspon, Anzia Yezierska, Vardis Fisher, Kenneth Rexroth, Meridel Le Sueur, and Studs Terkel. In the 1930s, they were all caught up in an effort to describe America in a series of guidebooks and life histories. Through a narrative of striking images and firsthand accounts, the book reveals their experiences and the most vivid excerpts from their work on selected guides and interviews: Harlem schoolchildren, truckers, Chicago fishmongers, a Florida midwife, Nebraskan meatpackers, and blind musicians.  After the 1929 Crash, companies fired an average of 20,000 workers every day; in some cities over half the adult population was unemployed. The story of people rescued from joblessness by the Writers' Project is the compelling drama of people caught when an economy suddenly crashes as it is the fascinating account of some of America's best writers, unknowns turned loose on the landscape. Drawing on discoveries from personal collections, archives, recordings, and recent biographies, a new picture has emerged of how these individual dramas intersected with the larger picture of American life. This book illuminates what it felt like to live that experience, how going from joblessness to reporting on their own communities affected artists with varied visions, and the emotions that involved: shame, humiliation, anger, excitement, nostalgia, and adventure. The WPA writers and artists anticipated, and perhaps paved the way for, political and cultural movements of later decades including the Civil Rights movement, the Women's Right movement, and the Native American rights movement.  Soul of a People is also a Smiths ungekürzt.

  True Police Stories: Inside The REAL Stories of the Scary, Unexplained & Weird: Bizarre True Stories, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 90min

  Inside he real stories of the scary, unexplained, and weird.... Between robberies, reports of lost people and pets, bar fights, domestic fights, car accidents, and anything else you can imagine, police officers have an incredibly difficult job. They must be there to take care of anything that goes wrong, offer support and help to all the people involved, and put themselves in harm's way more often than not. Many people take this for granted. In fact, most people don't give the police the respect they deserve. They are disrespectful and rude, and they will refuse to pay the tickets they have received or appear in court when they are told to. These people act as though the police are out to get them, when the police are, in fact, just doing their jobs. The life of a police officer might be rewarding, but there really is no way to tell for sure how much you will have to deal with. In this book, we are going to look at some of these tales of valor. Some of the horrific and unexplained things police officers have seen with their own eyes, and some of the things they have had to experience for themselves. Facing an armed robber in a shoot out is one of the most terrifying things anyone could be a part of, but perhaps even that pales in comparison to facing a paranormal spirit that could strike at any time. Listen to these eyewitness accounts of what members of the police force have had to deal with, and perhaps gain a better understanding - and appreciation - of what they are doing for you. Here is a preview of what's inside...
