Mapp and Lucia, Hörbuch, Digital, 217min
Mapp and Lucia is the centrepiece of E. F. Benson's series of Lucia novels - bringing together for the first time the eponymous middle-aged doyennes of polite 1930s society Miss Elizabeth Mapp and Emmeline Luca (Lucia to her friends). Lucia, recently widowed, is the newcomer to the village of Tilling and eager to wrest the reins of social supremacy from the incumbant Miss Mapp and install herself as its benevolent dictator. In their polite acts of sabotage and ruthless jockeying for the position of cultural arbiter Mapp and Lucia tear up the conventions of drawing-room bridge evenings as their deadly weapons. Things finally come to a head with Miss Mapp's audacious attempt to steal her rival's celebrated Lobster a la Riseholme. E.F. Benson's charming satrical bent turns the pretensions and snobberies of English village life into a vicious comedy. Language: English. Narrator: Miriam Margolyes.

The Oresteia , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 217min
In The Oresteia, Aeschylus dramatizes the myth of the curse on the royal house of Argos. The action begins when King Agamemnon returns victorious from the Trojan War, only to be treacherously slain by his own wife. It ends with the trial of their son, Orestes, who slew his mother to avenge her treachery - a trial with the goddess Athena as judge, the god Apollo as defense attorney, and, as prosecutors, relentless avenging demons called The Furies. The results of the trial change the nature of divine and human justice forever. An adaptation by Yuri Rasovsky, based on a translation by Ian Johnston. Also included is an excerpt from Blackstone's dramatization of The Odyssey, in which Agamemnon's brother Menelaus learns of the events of The Oresteia from Proteus, the sea god. ungekürzt.

Badger Squadron , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 217min
Far from Earth, beyond the reaches of our solar system, a death of worlds was created. Once used as a means to end a reign of domination over civilizations, the weapon of mass destruction known as Eclipse now spreads fear throughout the galaxy - killing planets and wiping out all life with a wide spreading deterioration of darkness. With the death of a king came a new era of tyranny. After their planet's destruction by Eclipse, the Manduurin race took refuge in the stars. Centuries later, they were discovered by mankind and together formed the United Earth Corps - a unity of defense against Demonixa's war machine. As the war for the galaxy's survival continues, a peaceful world lies in peril. While paratroopers endlessly defend the Xissban race from horrific beasts below, Air Corps squadrons take flight to battle enemy fighters that soar uncannily with Geist-like maneuvers. Despite Demonixa's aerial superiority in the sky and an infinite amount of space, a group of pilots standout through the cunning of their skills. Lead by Major Rhiannon MacLauchlan, Badger Squadron faces endeavors and casualties as they bravely aid in the battle for Xissba's liberation and the threat against Earth's existence. ungekürzt.
