The Love Season , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 268min, (USK 18)
Summer is the season for sin. When Ted Clinton arrived at the vacation inn, he found that it featured some unexpected diversions. Like sleek Ruth Henderson and her bevy of hostesses whose job it was to please male guests. Lady vacationers, too, starving for love and excitement, did their share to turn summertime into playtime. Office-girl Mary Gordon, for, instance, as accessible as the adjoining room, managed to be wearing not a thing when Ted opened her door. It made little sense to Sally, one of the waitresses, a fresh young product of the local countryside. Then one night an old codger caught her alone, forced her to learn how hotel guests could be amused. At this point Ted had a change of heart. He figured Ruth and her hostesses were fine for games, and Mary Gordon was perfect for hot-weather romance. But the slightly used Sally was good for more than vacation pleasures. She had enough unslaked passion to last a man a lifetime. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Alan Taylor. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/008089/bk_acx0_008089_sample.mp3.

The Burning Shore: How Hitler's U-Boats Brought World War II to America , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 438min
On June 15, 1942, as thousands of vacationers lounged in the sun on Virginia Beach, a massive fireball erupted from a convoy of oil tankers steaming into Chesapeake Bay. By the next day, three ships lay at the bottom of the channel, victims of Lieutenant-Commander Horst Degen and his crew on the German submarine U-701. In The Burning Shore, acclaimed military reporter Ed Offley presents a thrilling account of Degen's rampage along the American coast and of US Lieutenant Harry J. Kane's quest to bring him down. Since the beginning of 1942, German U-boats had prowled the waters of the Atlantic, sinking merchant ships and threatening to sever the lifeline of supplies flowing from the United States to Great Britain. But when Kane and his crew spotted the silhouette of U-701 offshore that summer, the ensuing clash signaled a critical turning point in the Battle of the Atlantic - and the beginning of an unlikely friendship between the two rival commanders. A gripping tale of heroism and sacrifice, TheBurning Shore describes how a small band of mariners and aviators drove Hitler's wolf packs from America's home waters. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Return to Wake Robin: One Cabin in the Heyday of Northwoods Resorts , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 333min
Five generations of Marnie O. Mamminga's family have been rejuvenated by times together in Wisconsin's Northwoods. In a series of evocative remembrances, Mamminga takes us to Wake Robin, the cabin her grandparents built in 1929 on Big Spider Lake near Hayward, on land adjacent to Moody's Camp. Along the way, she preserves the spirit and cultural heritage of a vanishing era, conveying the heart of a place and the community that once gathered there. Bookended by the close of the logging era and the 1970s shift to modern lake homes, condos, and Jet Skis, the 1920s to 1960s period covered in these essays represents the golden age of Northwoods camps and cabins - a time when retreats such as Wake Robin were the essence of simplicity. In Return to Wake Robin, Mamminga describes the familiar cadre of fishing guides casting their charm, the camaraderie and friendships among resort workers and vacationers, the call of the weekly square dance, the splash announcing a perfectly executed cannonball, and the lodge as gathering place. By tracing the history of one resort and cabin, she recalls a time and experience that will resonate with anyone who spent their summers Up North - or wishes they had. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Hip to the Trip: A Cultural History of Route 66 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 354min
Before and since its official closure in 1985, historic US 66 became associated with the deserts, Indians, and cowboys of the Southwest; the "Okies" of the Great Depression; and the millions of vacationers who took to the highway in their streamlined automobiles and found adventure on the open road from the late 1940s to the 1970s. Route 66 has such name recognition that in the past 20 years it has been used to advertise products ranging from blue jeans, to root beer, to automobiles. The highway enjoyed only about 30 years of dominance as a primary auto and truck route from 1926 to around 1956. Gradually replaced by interstates into the 1980s, Route 66 became forever fixed in the history and lore of the Southwest and the United States. Route 66 provides a unique vantage point from which to better understand American popular culture from the 1920s to the present. The purpose of this audiobook is not to simply recount the history of Route 66, but to create a comprehensive portrait of the cultural meaning of the highway. What was Route 66 at its pinnacle, what is it today, and what might it become in the future? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Michael Rene Zuzel.
