  The Five Daughters of the Moon: The Waning Moon Duology, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 469min

  The Crescent Empire teeters on the edge of a revolution, and the Five Daughters of the Moon are the ones to determine its future. Alina, six, fears Gagargi Prataslav and his Great Thinking Machine. The gagargi claims that the machine can predict the future, but at a cost that no one seems to want to know. Merile, 11, cares only for her dogs, but she smells that something is afoul with the gagargi. By chance, she learns that the machine devours human souls for fuel, and yet no one believes her claim. Sibilia, 15, has fallen in love for the first time in her life. She couldn't care less about the unrest spreading through the countryside. Or the rumors about the gagargi and his machine. Elise, 16, follows the captain of her heart to orphanages and workhouses. But soon she realizes that the unhappiness among her people runs much deeper that anyone could have ever predicted. And Celestia, 22, will be the empress one day. Lately she's been drawn to the gagargi. But which one of them was the first to mention the idea of a coup? ungekürzt. Language: English.

  Victorian London: The Life of a City, 1840-1870, Hörbuch, Digital, 399min

  Like her previous books, this book is the result of the author's passionate interest in the realities of everyday life, and the conditions in which most people lived, so often left out of history books. This period of mid-Victorian London encompasses a huge range of subjects: Victoria's wedding and the place of the royals in popular esteem; how the very poor lived, the underworld, prostitution, crime, prisons and transportation; the public utilities, Bazalgette on sewers and road design, Chadwick on pollution and sanitation; private charities, Peabody, Burdett Coutts, and workhouses; new terraced housing and transport, trains, omnibuses, and the Underground; furniture and decor; families and the position of women; the prosperous middle classes and their new shops, e.g. Peter Jones, Harrods; entertaining and servants, food and drink; unlimited liability and bankruptcy; the rich, the marriage market, taxes and anti-semitism; the Empire, recruitment and press-gangs. The period begins with the closing of the Fleet and Marshalsea prisons and ends with the first (steam-operated) Underground trains and the first Gilbert & Sullivan. All the splendours and horrors of Victorian life will be vividly recalled. Language: English. Narrator: Anton Lesser.

  Saving Ebenezer: The Continuing Saga of a Man Named Scrooge , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 182min

  Seven years after Jacob Marley and the three ghosts of Christmas changed Ebenezer’s life, Scrooge has a problem. He’s given away most of his money and brightened many lives, restored churches, and made London workhouses better for those living and working inside. If only all of that made him feel better about his life! Doubt plagues Ebenezer. Even with all of his philanthropy, he still has questions he can’t answer. Are the scales balanced? Did he do enough good after that fateful Christmas Eve to avoid Jacob Marley’s fate? And after a very special person dies, he adds another question: Why did God let it happen? When he falls ill himself, Ebenezer’s questions take on a new desperation. From the Cratchits to the workhouse fundraisers to nephew Fred, you’ll be reintroduced to several old friends as well as a few new ones. With each visitor, Ebenezer tries to get closer to the answers to his questions. As the clock starts to run out, Ebenezer will need the words from an old friend to tip the scales in his favor. Saving Ebenezer picks up on a story started by Charles Dickens in 1843 with A Christmas Carol. Christians will appreciate a heartwarming story of God's love shown in tragedy while all listeners will enjoy the common points between Saving Ebenezer and the original work. ungekürzt.

  Let the Rivers Clap Their Hands , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 524min

  By virtue of a broken treaty in 1838, 15,000 members of the Cherokee Tribe were sold down the river by President Andrew Jackson and were forced to walk from their ancestral homes in the southeastern United States to designated Indian Territory of present-day Oklahoma. An estimated 4,000 Cherokee Indians perished along the way, and their dead bodies lined the pathway of what is now known as the Cherokee Trail of Tears.During that same year, Englishmen were being forced from their country by the dismal economy, as Queen Victoria turned a blind eye to the plight of her dog-tired and penniless subjects. Long hours of backbreaking labor in the dreary workhouses caused those looking for a better life to set sail for America. There, they would be free to pursue success, and for one family, that meant moving westward to Oklahoma.Let the Rivers Clap Their Hands is a masterfully woven saga of the emerging tale of two families from two very different backgrounds, each finding themselves freshly transplanted in the midst of Indian Territory in Oklahoma. From the hardships of their pasts, to the wake of the Great Depression, to the dawn of World War II, these families’ trials tell the tale of love, heartache, and hope.As a winding river has twists and turns, listeners will discover the same with this riveting tale. Let the Rivers Clap Their Hands is an audiobook listeners will not want to put down. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Gina.
