    Brick Lane , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 919min
    Shortlisted for the 2003 Man Booker Prize This exciting and deeply moving debut novel follows the tumultuous life of Nazneen from her birth in a Bangladeshi village hut, to her arranged marriage to Chanu and the subsequent move to London's Tower Hamlets. Nazneen's inauspicious entry to the world, an apparent stillbirth on the hard mud floor of a Bangladeshi village hut, imbues in her a sense of fatalism that she carries across continents when she is married off to Chanu. Her life in London's Tower Hamlets is, on the surface, calm. For years, keeping house and rearing children, she does what is expected of her. Yet Nazneen walks a tightrope stretched between her daughters' embarrassment and her husband's resentments. Chanu calls his elder daughter the little memsahib. 'I didn't ask to be born here,' say Shahana, with regular finality. Into that fragile peace walks Karim. He sets questions before her, of longing and belonging; he sparks in her a turmoil that reflects the community's own; he opens her eyes and directs her gaze -- but what she sees, in the end, comes as a surprise to them both. While Nazneen journeys along her path of self-realization, a way haunted by her mother's ghost, her sister Hasina, back in Bangladesh, rushes headlong at her life, first making a 'love marriage', then fleeing her violent husband. Woven through the novel, Hasina's letters from Dhaka recount a world of overwhelming adversity. Shaped -- yet ultimately not bound -- by their landscapes and memories, both sisters struggle to dream themselves out of the rules prescribed for them. Beautifully rendered and, by turns, both comic and deeply moving, Brick Lane establishes Monica Ali as one of the most exciting new voices in fiction. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Letters of Gratitude to American Heroes of Social Justice: Where Would We Be Without Them? , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 484min
    This well-researched book, which is volume I of a multi-volume set, represents everything our current Trump administration does not. It focuses on the heroes of our past who labored for monumental reform and urged our nation to keep the American promise that "all men are created equal", thus creating a more just and egalitarian society than the one they were born into. Written in an innovative writing style of penning letters of gratitude to these heroes of our past, coupled with an introductory biography, thanking them for so much that we have today, much of which we often take for granted.Letters of Gratitude to American Heroes of Social Justice: Where Would Be Without Them? helps us know the lives and achievements of outstanding leaders of social justice and helps us look at our lives in an entirely new way, seeing how we cannot disconnect ourselves from past reformers, as the author clearly demonstrates to us how their efforts endure in our lives today. These were champions of unity and not division, and their memory can inspire us in this age of Trumpism and reactionary divisiveness. Mr. Buffer also helps to connect our current challenges with the struggles and victories of the past and helps to diffuse the lies told by the far-right wing about our nation's history and who we are as a people.With his contemporary letters, Mr. Buffer imbues and inspires a sense of gratitude in the listener as well as a sense of inspiration to pay these gifts forward and become active in efforts to protect them in this time when there is a palpable push back on the great reform movements of past 240 years. In this volume, we learn about those who passionately fought for the American ideal and from whom we are all fortunate beneficiaries. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Stacey Krejci.

    Rex Tanner and the Sword of Damocles , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 146min
    Selected for the 2015 HEAR Now Audio Fiction & Arts Festival. Now enhanced with sound effects and music. We meet Rex Tanner, race car driver, on a disastrous mission to save scientist Penelope Mulgrew in 1935. Rex effects their escape using the Omnidial, a mysterious device permanently grafted to his skin, which imbues Rex with temporary super powers...when it works. Months later, Rex is approached with a new mission: American Olympians are turning up shriveled and weak, apparently drained of muscle. Rex, Penelope, and his pit man and sidekick Mikhail "Mick" Goldstein are asked to travel to the site of the Olympics to investigate. Though at first reluctant, upon learning that the British agency MI6 has been assigned to the same case, Rex enthusiastically accepts. At a welcoming party, Rex and Penelope spy the scheming Chin Wu-Xian and henchman Baron Helmut von Krieger, who are apparently pressuring the party's host into participation in underhanded dealings. They also meet MI6's agent: Alexander Tanner, Rex's older, smarter, handsomer brother, with whom Rex shares a bitter, life-long sibling rivalry. Rex's bitterness is exacerbated when he discovers that his brother's new flame is Mariel Adele, Rex's first girlfriend. The brothers put aside their rivalry when an attack occurs at the party and another American Olympian is discovered emaciated. After an unsuccessful attempt to apprehend the villains responsible, Rex concedes that perhaps the mission is too big for one man and that he may need to team up with his brother, rather than compete with him.

    Sinfonie 7 in e-moll
    Gergiev brings an almost palpable darkness, fear and mystery to the three central movements, giving an impression, in the central scherzo, of hot, tormenting laser lights darting in from all angles, and he imbues the outer movements with an almost frenzied momentum.

    Chormusik
    James MacMillan is renowned for his highly original yet accessible choral music. His prolific output displays an intrinsic understanding of the human voice and his music will undoubtedly stand the test of time. MacMillan's work is inseparable from its composer's committed adherence to Roman Catholicism. A sense of this religious belief imbues much of his work, which seeks to combine the sacred with the everyday.
