    Riss im Lügennetz: Perry Rhodan 2911, Hörbuch, Digital, 215min
    Am Abgrund der Altvorderen - sie suchen Erkenntnis jenseits des Heroldischen Gewölles. Wir schreiben das Jahr 1551 NGZ, gut dreitausend Jahre vom 21. Jahrhundert alter Zeitrechnung entfernt. Nach großen Umwälzungen in der Milchstraße haben sich die Verhältnisse zwischen den unterschiedlichen Sternenreichen beruhigt; im Großen und Ganzen herrscht Frieden. Vor allem die von Menschen bewohnten Planeten und Monde streben eine positive Zukunft an. Tausende von Welten haben sich zur Liga Freier Galaktiker zusammengeschlossen, in der auch Wesen mitwirken, die man in früheren Jahren als "nichtmenschlich" bezeichnet hätte. Trotz aller Spannungen, die nach wie vor bestehen: Perry Rhodans Vision, die Galaxis in eine Sterneninsel ohne Kriege zu verwandeln, scheint sich langsam zu verwirklichen. Man knüpft sogar vermehrt Kontakte zu anderen Galaxien. Gegenwärtig befindet sich Rhodan selbst im Goldenen Reich der Thoogondu, die ebenfalls eine Beziehung zur Milchstraße aufbauen wollen. Die Thoogondu waren einst ein erwähltes Volk von ES, ehe die Superintelligenz sie aus der Milchstraße verbannte. Nun herrschen sie in der fernen Galaxis Sevcooris und freuen sich über ES’ Verschwinden. Geheimnisse umgeben die Thoogondu, aber sie sind nicht fassbar. Auf seiner Reise ins Reich der Soprassiden bemerkt Perry Rhodan jedoch einen "Riss im Lügennetz".

    A Woman Looking at Men Looking at Women: Essays on Art, Sex, and the Mind , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1411min
    As well as being a prize-winning, best-selling novelist, Siri Hustvedt is widely regarded as a leading thinker in the fields of neurology, feminism, art criticism and philosophy. She believes passionately that art and science are too often kept separate and that conversations across disciplines are vital to increasing our knowledge of the human mind and body, how they connect and how we think, feel and see. The essays in this volume - all written between 2011 and 2015 - are in three parts. A Woman Looking at Men Looking at Women brings together penetrating pieces on particular artists and writers such as Picasso, Kiefer and Susan Sontag as well as essays investigating the biases that affect how we judge art, literature and the world in general. 'The Delusions of Certainty' is an essay about the mind/body problem, showing how this age-old philosophical puzzle has shaped contemporary debates on many subjects and how every discipline is coloured by what lies beyond argument - desire, belief and the imagination. The essays in the final section, 'What Are We? Lectures on the Human Condition', tackle such elusive neurological disorders as synesthesia and hysteria. Drawing on research in sociology, neurobiology, history, genetics, statistics, psychology and psychiatry, this section also contains a profound consideration of suicide and a towering reconsideration of Kierkegaard. Together they form an extremely stimulating, thoughtful, wide-ranging exploration of some of the fundamental questions about human beings and the human condition, delivered with Siri Hustvedt's customary lucidity, vivacity and infectiously questioning intelligence. ungekürzt.

    A Dance to the Music of Time: Third Movement , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1184min
    Anthony Powell's universally acclaimed epic encompasses a four-volume panorama of twentieth century London. Hailed by Time as "brilliant literary comedy as well as a brilliant sketch of the times," A Dance to the Music of Time opens just after World War I. Amid the fever of the 1920s and the first chill of the 1930s, Nick Jenkins and his friends confront sex, society, business, and art. In the second volume they move to London in a whirl of marriage and adulteries, fashions and frivolities, personal triumphs and failures. These books "provide an unsurpassed picture, at once gay and melancholy, of social and artistic life in Britain between the wars" (Arthur Schlesinger, Jr.). The third volume follows Nick into army life and evokes London during the blitz. In the climactic final volume, England has won the war and must now count the losses. In this third volume of A Dance to the Music of Time, we again meet Widmerpool, doggedly rising in rank; Jenkins, shifted from one dismal army post to another; Stringham, heroically emerging from alcoholism; Templer, still on his eternal sexual quest. Here, too, we are introduced to Pamela Flitton, one of the most beautiful and dangerous women in modern fiction. Wickedly barbed in its wit, uncanny in its seismographic recording of human emotions and social currents, this saga stands as an unsurpassed rendering of England's finest yet most costly hour. Includes the novels: The Valley of Bones, The Soldier's Art, and The Military Philosophers. As an added bonus, when you purchase our Audible Modern Vanguard production of Anthony Powell's book, you'll also receive an exclusive Jim Atlas interview. This interview – where James Atlas interviews Charles McGrath about the life and work of Anthony Powell – begins as soon as the audiobook ends. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Simon Vance.

    Ramble On , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 659min
    A history of walking and our relationship with the British countryside. On the afternoon of Sunday April 24, 1932, a group of approximately 500 men and women set out for the summit of Kinder Scout, the highest point in Derbyshire's Peak District. They were not here to take in the fresh air and breath-taking vistas; they were here to make a stand. Kinder Scout, like almost every other site of natural beauty in Britain at that time, was privately owned and fiercely guarded. This wild, open landscape was one that they had absolutely no right to visit. Ramble On tells the story of how country walks and rambling were transformed from a small and often illegal pastime to the most popular recreational activity in the country. But the story of rambling is not so much about parliamentary acts as it is about the remarkable people who campaigned for (and in some cases against) the pastime. There was a Lancastrian town council accountant called Alfred Wainwright, who in the 1950s changed his life, and the lives of many others, when he popularised walking in the Lake District with his series of guides. And any history of rambling would be incomplete without mentioning the resistant landowners - from the notorious Nicholas Van Hoogstraten to celebrities such as Madonna and Jeremy Clarkson - who have done their level best (and worst) to keep walkers off their land. Above all, this tale is about the exhilaration of a gusty hill-top path; the curious unease that a labyrinthine dark forest floor can induce; the feel of different soil, peat and rock; the sight of alternating sunlight and shadow sweeping across vast valleys. Both a biography of Britain's favourite outdoor pursuit and a celebration of our wonderful countryside, Ramble On is for anyone who has ever pulled on a pair of walking boots or is partial to the taste of Kendal mint cake. ungekürzt.
