    Circle Jerk , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 421min
    I survived a situation. I awoke in a dark basement with 14 other people. We were in dog cages and our arm and legs were cuffed into another cage. The cages made a circle. Of those in cages, some of the other captives were compassionate, brave people; others were total jerks. There were all kinds there in the basement with me. I liked some, hated some, pitied a few, and would have killed a couple if given the opportunity. Our captor was someone we all had connections to, and this person forced us to play various sick, brutal games for rewards. Some rewards. They were based on self-mutilation or the mutilation of the person next to us. The captor claimed there was only one source of food, and as time passed, the gnawing of hunger pangs became worse. There was no longer just the personal, moral issue of cannibalism to worry about, but also the fear of what the others would do. Would they break down and eat? That was my situation. I’ll share my story. I’ll tell what I did and what the others did, but I doubt anyone can understand how it felt to be locked in the cages. I have no way to explain how it felt when no one cared how loudly we screamed. I survived, but the price was high. I learned this: never underestimate a person’s determination to live. Some determination is strength; some is depravity. *extreme violence *mature themes ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Zach NeSmith.

    Strange Labour , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 421min
    Strange Labour is a powerful meditation on the meaning of humanity in a universe that is indifferent to our extinction, and a provocative re-imagining of many of the tropes and clichés that have shaped the post-apocalyptic novel. Most people have deserted the cities and towns to work themselves to death in the construction of monumental earthworks. The only adults unaffected by this mysterious obsession are a dwindling population that live in the margins of a new society they cannot understand. Isolated, in an increasingly deserted landscape, living off the material remnants of the old order, trapped in antiquated habits and assumptions, they struggle to construct a meaningful life for themselves. Miranda, a young woman who travels across what had once been the West, meets Dave, who has peculiar theories about the apocalypse. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Zoé Beaulieu Prpick.

    Hendrikje, Vorübergehend erschossen, Hörbuch, Digital, 421min
    Von Einer, die sich immer selber die Schuld gibt. Hendrikje Schmidt ist eine Pechvogelin. Und jetzt sitzt sie auch noch im Gefängnis und erzählt der spröden Psychologin Frau Dr. Palmenberg ihre Geschichte. Denn eigentlich hatte Hendrikje ihr Leben mal ganz gut im Griff. Tagsüber arbeitet sie als Bedienung in einem Café, nachts malt sie Bilder. Doch an Weihnachten schlägt das Schicksal knüppeldick zu: Von einem Tag auf den anderen ist Hendrikje bis über beide Ohren verschuldet, allein und todunglücklich. Und weil ihr Selbstmordversuch kläglich misslingt, wollen ihre Freunde ihr beim zweiten Mal helfen. Bloß, dass am Ende nicht Hendrikje, sondern zwei ihrer Freunde tot sind. "Hendrikje" ist ein origineller Roman in der Tradition des "Simplicius Simplicissimus", der das ganze Elend, aber auch die moralische Stärke eines ebenso einfältigen wie aufrechten Menschen in die heutige Zeit überträgt. Man kann lachen und weinen mit dieser Hendrikje, und am Ende fragt man sich, ob man sie nicht schon längst kennt. deutsch.

    The Gift , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 421min
    Penguin presents the audiobook edition of The Gift, written and read by Arun Gandhi.  'Anger is good. It is an energy that compels us to define what is right and wrong.' (Mahatma Gandhi, to his grandson, Arun)  The moving, often irreverent, story of Arun's years growing up at the iconic Sevagram ashram provides the setting for the treasured moments spent with his grandfather, which are an engaging and often surprising listen.  These memories give a rare insight into Gandhi, the man behind the icon, and reveal the motivations behind his 10 inspirational lessons.  Arun believes that the violence in the world today makes Gandhi's teachings more vital than ever, and The Gift places these lessons in a modern context, shedding new light on how Gandhi's principles can - and must - be applied to today's concerns.  Formerly published as The Gift of Anger. ungekürzt.
