A HalfMan Dreaming , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 674min
A HalfMan Dreaming conjures into existence an apocalyptic story line that takes its narrator, Lupe, from a childhood encounter with the Enola Gay on the edge of the Californian desert, to the war in Vietnam, to prison in Detroit. Filled with confusion, anger, and shame at the things he has seen and done, Lupe struggles to find his way out of the maze of violence and racism that is postwar America. With lyrical intensity and pyrotechnic prose, A HalfMan Dreaming weaves together history, archaeology, and mythology in a Melville-ian quest to discover the leviathan heart of America's love affair with death and destruction. ungekürzt.

The Time Machine , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 210min
H. G. Wells' novel of 1895 popularised the idea of vehicular time travel in this classic sci-fi tale. The eponymous hero finds himself in the land of the Eloi and the Morlocks. In some ways these encounters foreshadow another, less remote future which George Orwell conjures in Nineteen Eighty-Four: that of the nascent rift between the proles and the party elite. This is a gripping story delivering not merely an imaginative relocation of late Victorian lust for adventure and scientific knowledge but also Wells' warning about politics and society. The endtimes of the Earth and universe are hauntingly evoked in the final chapters. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Greg Wagland.
