    Acquired Tastes , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 295min
    With an updated foreword by Peter Mayle, Acquired Tastes, originally published in 1993, is a celebration of life's extravagances. Exploring an aspect of human nature that, although lying dormant in hard economic times, is capable of erupting with the hint of good fortune and the drop of a credit card, it samples the luxuries of Havana cigars, Parisian Hotels, bespoke London tailoring, hand-made shoes, and the proper color for a stretch limousine. It weighs the cost versus the pleasure of keeping a mistress, and explains the proper way to eat true caviar, all while providing the listener with hours of pure, unadulterated escapism. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Robin Sachs. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/esca/000001/bk_esca_000001_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    Zom-B: Zom-B, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 225min
    Zom-B is a radical new series about a zombie apocalypse, told in the first person by one of its victims. The series combines classic Shan action with a fiendishly twisting plot and hard-hitting and thought-provoking moral questions dealing with racism, abuse of power, and more.This is challenging material, which will captivate existing Shan fans and bring in many new ones. As Darren says, "It's a big, sprawling, vicious tale...a grisly piece of escapism, and a barbed look at the world in which we live. Each book in the series is short, fast-paced, and bloody. A high body-count is guaranteed!" ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Zawe Ashton. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/bbcw/006646/bk_bbcw_006646_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    Three Men In A Boat, Hörbuch, Digital, 140min
    Martyrs to hypochondria and general seediness, J. and his friends George and Harris decide that a jaunt up the Thames would suit them to a ‘T’. But when they set off, they can hardly predict the troubles that lie ahead with tow-ropes, unreliable weather-forecasts and tins of pineapple chunks – not to mention the devastation left in the wake of J.’s small fox-terrier Montmorency. Three Men in a Boat was an instant success when it appeared in 1889, and, with its benign escapism, authorial discursions and wonderful evocation of the late-Victorian ‘clerking classes’, it hilariously captured the spirit of its age. Language: English. Narrator: Hugh Laurie. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/copy/000236/bk_copy_000236_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.
