Dance of the Jakaranda , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 778min

Kimani reimagines the rise and fall of colonialism in Africa by telling the story of the birth of Kenya's railroad. Set in the shadow of Kenya's independence from Great Britain, Dance of the Jakaranda reimagines the rise and fall of colonialism and the special circumstances that brought black, brown, and white men together to lay the railroad that heralded the birth of the nation. The novel traces the lives and loves of three men: preacher Richard Turnbull, the colonial administrator Ian McDonald, and Indian technician Babu Salim, whose lives intersect when they are implicated in the controversial birth of a child. Years later, when Babu's grandson, Rajan - who ekes out a living by singing Babu's epic tales of the railway's construction - accidentally kisses a mysterious stranger in a dark nightclub, the encounter provides the spark to illuminate the three men's shared murky past. Dance of the Jakaranda could well be a story of globalization - not just for its riveting multiracial, multicultural cast but also due to its diverse literary allusions: from Chekhovian comedy to Kafkasque caricatures, or magical realism popularized by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Yet the novel is firmly anchored in the African storytelling tradition, its language a dreamy, exalted, and earthy mix that creates new thresholds of identity, providing a fresh metaphor for race in contemporary Africa. ungekürzt.

Karen Harris, commander of Unit T, had come to the streets of London in an effort to curb the activities of an Italian cartel engaged in prostitution and abduction across Europe and beyond. Alongside this, many young homeless in the city are going missing with nothing being done about it. Karen starts investigating an agency that not only rents out companions but is involved in more-sinister operations. The interconnected problems lead to Karen going covert in an attempt to get at the truth, with an operation that pushes her and her friend, Sherry Malloy, to the limit. Karen is about to learn the real truth concerning the fate of the missing teenagers. Even worse, she can do nothing about it. But if the truth ever became public, the revelations could shake the very foundations of civilized society - not only in Britain but across Europe. The Trafficker series once again takes the listener deep into the very dangerous world of the criminals engaged not only in drugs but in people trafficking, which exists in every town and city.
