    The Apartment: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 325min
    A powerful and elegant debut audiobook about love, memory, exile, and war. One snowy December morning in an old European city, an American man leaves his shabby hotel to meet a local woman who has agreed to help him search for an apartment to rent. The Apartment follows the couple across a blurry, illogical, and frozen city into a past the man is hoping to forget, and leaves them at the doorstep of an uncertain future - their cityscape punctuated by the man's lingering memories of time spent in Iraq and the life he abandoned in the United States. Contained within the details of this day is a complex meditation on America's relationship with the rest of the world, an unflinching glimpse at the permanence of guilt and despair, and an exploration into our desire to cure violence with violence. An audiobook about how our relationships to others - and most importantly to ourselves - alters how we see the world, The Apartment perfectly captures the peculiarity and excitement of being a stranger in a strange city. Written in an affecting and intimate tone that gradually expands in scope, intensity, poetry, and drama, Greg Baxter's clear-eyed first audiobook tells the intriguing story of these two people on this single day. Both beguiling and raw in its observations and language, The Apartment is a crisp audiobook with enormous range that offers profound and unexpected wisdom. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Welcome to Auburn, where fresh-baked cookies hold the key to your future, and a melody carries the secrets of your past. Mina Fairchild keeps to herself, and that's the way she likes it. Her secluded life protects the secrets she hides, as well as a certain peculiarity that even people in the colorful town of Auburn, Nebraska find strange. But when her movie-star sister Bernadette shows up on her sofa, Mina's cozy bungalow is overrun with paparazzi. One dark-eyed reporter seems to see straight into Mina's soul and her world begins to crumble. It's bad enough when he noses around her secrets, but then he starts digging for information about her mother, and Mina can't let that happen. Bernadette fled her Hollywood life after her boyfriend's affair caused her to do things that sent the tabloids flying off the racks. Now she's facing the sister she hasn't spoken to in eight years, and an ex-fiancé, to whom she owes more than an explanation. While she's not sure she can tell them the truth, she's determined to make things right, even if that means America's Sweetheart waits tables in a small-town diner. Trouble is, this prodigal return has unraveled more than the sisters realize. When a body is discovered, and a strange woman comes to Bernadette pleading for help, Auburn encounters a decades-old mystery that causes Mina to question the very people she's been protecting, and threatens the few people she's close to. ungekürzt.

    OK Sicily: A Trip into the Myth: UNESCO Sites, Natural Parks, Cities, Villages and Ghost Cities, Among Temples, Baroque, Nature and Flavors. Thousand-Year-Old Island , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 346min
    Although small enough to be an island, Sicily is also large enough to be a continent and has at least two souls: a Western and an Eastern one. These two souls of Sicily are ancient, when the island was inhabited by the Elymians and the Sikani. This ancient "rivalry" continued with Phoenicians and Greeks, Romans and Carthaginians.To put it bluntly, in Sicily, there would also be a third soul, an almost alien part. Even the oranges, it is true, seem to express well the peculiarity of the territory and the perennial duality of the two souls: In the Western region, the oranges grow sweeter, bigger, always good. In contrast, in the Eastern region, they grow red, bloody, strong oranges, like the fire of the volcano Etna that shapes the soil with its ashes and roars.But the truth is that Sicily has a single great soul, complex and deep, the banks of the same river, the faces on the same medal. There is also a middle land, an inner Sicily, now abandoned in their silence and their fate. A naked and cruel destiny, slow, and inexorable, like the many cities already mown by fate. Some are already ghost towns, abandoned villages, left by everyone, now ruins and derelict. However, they preserve and exert a mysterious charm. A fascination that only the bravest tourists can appreciate and maybe, one day, they will be reborn to new life, since the old inhabitants have already fled far away.A trip to Sicily, therefore, is not only a journey through the history, culture, gastronomy, and flavors of a rich and generous land, but it is also a profound journey into the human soul and into the history!If you’re ready, let’s get started! ungekürzt.

    The Old Wives' Tale , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1447min
    Exclusively from Audible 'An old woman came into the restaurant to dine. She was fat, shapeless, ugly, and grotesque. She had a ridiculous voice, and ridiculous gestures. It was easy to see that she lived alone, and that in the long lapse of years she had developed the kind of peculiarity which induces guffaws among the thoughtless. I reflected, concerning the grotesque diner: "This woman was once young, slim, perhaps beautiful; certainly free from these ridiculous mannerisms. Very probably she is unconscious of her singularities. Her case is a tragedy. One ought to be able to make a heartrending novel out of the history of a woman such as she."' So said Arnold Bennett when explaining what inspired the creation of The Old Wives' Tale. Broken up into four parts, the lives of two sisters are laid bare; one timid and unassuming, the other romantic and adventurous. From working as children in their family's drapery shop to their later years, Constance and Sophia's journey through life could not be more different. While one travels the world and defies male expectations, the other becomes a dutiful wife and mother. Despite this, Bennett's skilful and witty narrative ultimately leads our protagonists in the same direction, making The Old Wives' Tale an intriguing interpretation of the circle of life and, unsurprisingly, his most popular work. Arnold Bennett wrote over 20 novels and 10 plays, including Anna of the Five Towns, Clayhanger, These Twain, Hilda Lessways and Buried Alive. In June 2017, to mark the 150th anniversary of his birth, the Potteries Museum and Art Gallery commissioned a bronze statue of the author. He was elegantly immortalised sitting in a chair and holding an open book in his left hand. Narrator Biography David Haig is a classically trained actor, writer and LAMDA graduate.

    Faithful to Christ: A Challenge to Truly Live for Christ , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 298min
    Only fear the Lord and serve Him in truth with all your heart; for consider what great things He has done for you. (1 Samuel 12:24)"If there is a true faith, there must be a declaration of it. If you are a candle, and God has lit you, then let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in the heavens." (Matthew 5:16)Soldiers of Christ must, like soldiers of our nation, wear their uniforms; and if they are ashamed of their uniforms, they ought to be drummed out of the army. I believe that many Christians get into a lot of trouble by not being honest in their convictions. For instance, if a person goes into a workshop, or a soldier into a barracks, and if he does not fly his flag from the beginning, it will be very difficult for him to run it up afterward. But if he immediately and boldly lets them know, “I am a Christian, and there are certain things that I cannot do to please you, and certain other things that I cannot help doing even though they might displease you” – when that is clearly understood, after a while, the peculiarity of the thing will be gone, and the person will be let alone. However, if he is a little dishonest and thinks that he is going to please the world and please Christ too, he can depend on it that he is in for a rough time. If he tries the way of compromise, his life will be like that of a toad under a harrow or a fox in a dog kennel. That will never do. Come out. Show your colors. Let it be known who you are and what you are. Although your course will not be smooth, it will certainly not be half as rough as if you tried to run with the hare and hunt with the hounds, which is a very difficult piece of business. The list of chapters in the audiobook include:PrideBroken KeysDouble-MindednessLabor That Doesn’t SatisfyThe Table of the ReprobateThe Self-Righteous GuestsDr ungekürzt.

    Ulmo explores rock music through the crossing of different influences such as jazz or electronic music. It is a merge of aerial surfaces and pushing atmospheres, supported by destabilizing rythms. The peculiarity of Ulmo's music is the mix of lyricism originating from the voice and the piano and distorted sounds from guitars and samples. Ulmo tries to untie the bonds of standard rock music in order to surprise and to disconcert.
