Doctor Thorne , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1251min
Exclusively from Audible Doctor Thorne is the third audiobook in Anthony Trollope's series known as the Chronicles of Barsetshire. Long regarded as one of Trollope's greatest works, it is a complex story of love, greed and illegitimacy. Set in fictional Barsetshire, it concerns the romantic challenges facing Doctor Thorne's penniless niece, Mary, and Frank Gresham, the only son of the impoverished squire of Greshambury. Mary falls in love with Frank but he is constrained by the need to marry well to restore the family fortunes and Greshambury estate. Despite the promptings of his family to consider a Miss Dunstable, heiress to a fortune, Frank's affections persist, and the humane Doctor Thorne, as Mary's protector, must confront the prejudices of the mid-Victorian society. Timothy West's narration enhances all the wit and satire that one expects from Trollope. Full of snobbery and hypocrisy, it is a social comedy full of some of Trollope's most brilliant characters. Narrator Biography Timothy West is prolific in film, television, theatre and audiobooks. He has narrated a number of Anthony Trollope’s classics, including the six Chronicles of Barsetshire and The Pallisers series. He has also narrated volumes of Simon Schama’s A History of Britain and John Mortimer’s Rumpole on Trial.

99 Percent Mine
Readers and critics alike raved over Sally Thorne's smash hit debut novel, The Hating Game-which sold in over 20 countries. Now she's back with an unforgettable romantic comedy about a twin sister and brother struggling over an inheritance-and the sexy best friend who comes between them.Crush: a strong and often short-lived infatuation, particularly for someone beyond your reach...... If Darcy Barrett hadn't met her dream man when she was eight years old, the rest of the male population wouldn't be such a let-down. No one measures up to Tom Valeska, aka the best man on Earth, not in looks, brain or heart. Even worse is the knowledge that her twin brother Jamie saw him first, and claimed him forever as his best friend.Tom's off limits and loyal to her brother, 99%. One percent of Tom has had to be enough for Darcy, and her adoration has been sustained by his shy kindness. And if she's honest, his tight t-shirts.Now Darcy's got three months left to get her life together, before her twin insists on selling the tumble-down cottage they inherited from their grandmother. By night, she's working in a seedy bar, shooting down lame pickups from bikers. By day, she's sewing underwear for her best friend and wasting her award-winning photography skills on website shots of pens and novelty mugs. She's enjoying living the messy life, and a glass of wine or ten... until that one night, when she finds a six-foot-six perfect package on her porch.Tom's here, he's bearing power tools-and he's single for the first time in a decade.As a house flipper extraordinaire, Tom has been dispatched by Jamie to give the cottage a drastic facelift that will result in a ton of cash. Darcy doesn't appreciate Tom's unsentimental approach to knocking down walls, and he really, really doesn't approve of her current burnout boyfriend. They can't be in the same room together without sparks flying- and it's not the faulty wiring. One bedroom wall separates them at night, and even that's looking flimsy.Will Tom ever see Darcy as anything other than a little-sister obstacle to get around? And can she stand up to her most formidable opponent-her twin? This time around, she's determined to make Tom Valeska 99 percent hers, and he's never managed to say no to her yet...- Shop: buecher

Sprawl
Mike Thorne delivered many innovative and successful recordings, from Soft Cell's 'Tainted Love' to 'Til Tuesday's 'Voices Carry'. Later, he realized that he was becoming bored making records to a marketing specification, and so promptly retired from commercial record production in 1994. Mike Thorne's retirement from hired-gun record production, after a career which placed his production credit on perhaps 30 million records worldwide, is final. However, his record-making artistry continues, thanks to his tightly-integrated group of co-conspirators drawn from previous studio encounters. 'Sprawl', his own first album, features huge vocal arrangements contributed by Kit Hain, Sarah Jane Morris, Lene Lovich and the three-woman downtown New York group BETTY. The instrumental sound centers on keyboards from Mike Thorne, intense and unusual horn arrangements powered by the Uptown Horns, and raucous drums from Allan Schwartzberg. The result is a sound heard nowhere else. Tracks include two unrecorded Marianne Faithfull songs (from her rock+roll period: 'Sexual Terrorist', 'Self-Imposed Exile'), 'Pretty Vacant' (the Sex Pistols, 1976) and an exclusive translation of 'Le Ballet' (originally a seductive French language song from Céline Dion). It's a lot of dense music, but the CD is arranged to be listened to in one go, using an intro 'Coming Quietly' and outro 'Going Gently' drawing from material in the songs. Two tweaked-piano interludes break up the twelve songs into three groups. BETTY: vocals Sarah Jane Morris: vocals Kit Hain: vocals Lene Lovich: vocalese Allan Schwartzberg: acoustic drums The Uptown Horns: section Crispin Cioe: alto saxophone Arno Hecht: tenor saxophone Larry Etkin: trumpet Bob Funk: trombone Mike Thorne: rhythm, synthesizers, keyboards Produced by Mike Thorne Running time: 57 minutes.
