    Fathers and Sons , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 491min
    When Arkady Petrovich comes home from college, his father finds his eager, naïve son changed almost beyond recognition, for the impressionable Arkady has fallen under the powerful influence of the friend he has brought with him. A self-proclaimed nihilist, the ardent young Bazarov shocks Arkady's father by criticizing the landowning way of life and by his outspoken determination to sweep away traditional values of contemporary Russian society. Turgenev's depiction of the conflict between generations and their ideals stunned readers when Fathers and Sons was first published in 1862. But many could also sympathize with Arkady's fascination with its nihilist hero, whose story vividly captures the hopes and regrets of a changing Russia. Fathers and Sons is a brilliant work that captures the tension that existed among generations and class in the prerevolutionary era in Russia. This version of Fathers and Sons is the translation by Constance Garnett. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Sean Runnette.

    The Alpha's Lion Pride: Licking, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 53min, (USK 18)
    I'm always asking myself, what's the catch? I can't allow myself to believe the best about anything. I was cheated on in a relationship twice before, and now whenever I make an effort to meet someone new, I find myself full of doubt and skepticism. The man I find myself currently dating does indeed have a pretty large catch to deal with - he's a secret lion shifter, specifically. However, his honesty with me, and his willingness to trust me, has given me new hope that maybe trusting isn't so dangerous after all. We're engaged in a weekend of hazy, steamy lovemaking together, taking things slow and passionate, and at one point he tells me about his past. As it turns out, he's been hurt as well, his pride and his future wounded by someone he once considered a close friend. I sympathize with him, and with all this in mind, we can now proceed with properly licking each other's wounds until they heal. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Sadie Stevens.

    A Little Death , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 42min
    In a tripping and absorbing style, award-winning Brazilian writer Claudia Lage asks listeners to gaze into the dark side of love and desire, and ultimately even to sympathize with her flawed hero and heroine. A Little Death is both an unconventional love story and a raw, visceral tale that explores the journey to adulthood in all its complexity and hilarity. The girl has always felt a depthless angst, a disquieting hunger that she can neither explain nor ignore. Even as a child she finds herself riveted and enlivened by the grotesque: watching with lurid fascination as the family's maid slaughters chickens in their backyard. She finds her soul mate when she meets the boy, moments after he's struck a bird dead with his slingshot. Though it will take the two lovers years to work their way back to each other, their connection never dampens and their mutual pull toward the macabre only grows with time - with possible disastrous results. ungekürzt.
