    The Killing of Crazy Horse , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1251min
    He was the most feared and loathed Indian of his time, earning his reputation in surprise victories against the troops of Generals Crook and Custer at the Rosebud and Little Bighorn. Despite his enduring reputation, he has remained an enigma (even the whereabouts of his burial place are unknown, and no portrait or photograph of him exists). Now, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Thomas Powers brings Crazy Horse to life in this vivid work of American history. Powers situates the critical battles won by Crazy Horse within the context of the decades-long conflict between Indian tribes and U.S. Army forces commonly called the Great Sioux Wars. He explores the complicated relationship between the tribes - in particular, Crazy Horse's Lakota Sioux - and the federal authorities. And he makes clear why the few battles won by the Indians - regardless of the fear they left in their wake - did not ultimately help them to stem the tide of settlers, gold seekers, and buffalo hunters that flooded the Great Plains after the Civil War. ungekürzt.

    Alexander Outland: Space Pirate , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 722min
    Captain Alexander Outland of the Sixty-Nine (short for Space Vessel 369, of course) is the best pilot in the galaxy. He’s also a pirate, a smuggler, and loved and loathed by women in umpteen solar systems. His crew of strays and misfits includes an engineer of dubious sanity, a deposed planetary governor, an annoyingly unflappable Sexbot copilot, and a slinky weapons chief who stubbornly refuses to give the captain a tumble. Outland just wants to make a decent living skirting the law, but when an invisible space armada starts cutting into his business, he soon finds himself in hot water with the military, the mob, mad bombers, and an extended family of would-be conquerors. And that’s not counting an occasionally telepathic spy.... Like any sensible scoundrel, he hates heroics. They’re risky and they don’t pay well. But to keep his ship and crew in one piece, and make time with a certain hard-to-get weapons chief, he might just have to make an exception - and save the galaxy in spite of himself! ungekürzt.

    A Year in the Wild , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 582min
    Angus and Hugh MacNaughton are brothers. They dislike each other...a lot. They have loathed each other since Hugh bit Angus at a family picnic many years ago. In a last-ditch attempt to forge a brotherly bond between the two, Mr. and Mrs. MacNaughton secure them jobs at an exclusive five-star game lodge. They manage to convince (bribe in the case of Angus) the siblings to work at Sasekile Private Game Lodge for a year. A Year in the Wild tells the uproarious, cringeworthy, and hilarious tales of Angus and Hugh in the form of weekly emails to their sister Julia. Their experiences include encounters with guests, animals, female staff, and often a mixture of these. Combine an eclectic mix of rich, overdemanding and adulterous guests and a dash of crazy bush lodge staff including two jealous brothers (one a bitterly sarcastic game ranger and the other an overeager lodge manager), and throw in the beauty of the African bushveld. Shake well. Conflict and disaster are inevitable. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: James Hendry. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/aslf/000013/bk_aslf_000013_sample.mp3.

    Days in the Caucasus , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 478min
    We all know families that are poor but 'respectable'. Mine, in contrast, was extremely rich but not 'respectable' at all....Banine's family were peasants who became millionaires overnight when oil gushed from their lands - and the course of her own life would be just as dramatic.  This is her unforgettable memoir of an 'odd, rich, exotic' childhood, growing up in Azerbaijan in the turbulent early 20th century, caught between East and West, tradition and modernity. She remembers her luxurious home, with endless feasts of sweets and fruit; her beloved, flaxen-haired German governess; her imperious, swearing, strict Muslim grandmother; her bickering, poker-playing, chain-smoking relatives. She recalls how the Bolsheviks came, and they lost everything. How, amid revolution and bloodshed, she fell passionately in love, only to be forced into marriage with a man she loathed - until the chance of escape arrived.  By turns gossipy and romantic, wry and moving, Days in the Caucasus is a coming of age story and a portrait of a vanished world. Cover credit (c) Anna Morrison ungekürzt.

    Many little girls grow up wanting to marry their daddy at some point in their childhood development. It is a natural part of life and of family. We see the affection between our parents, and we want to mimic the closeness and the relationship that is a bond between two partners. It promotes healthy sexual development in our children, so that they will be able to choose a partner later in life. Mimicking the behavior of other humans is the way that we learn how and what is appropriate in our culture and in our society. Our brains are wired to observe others and learn each and every day. But what if this learning goes haywire? What if there is a disruption in the healthy family environment, an unhealthy traumatic event or a chaotic and abusive situation? What then happens to the children who are in the dynamic? What happens to their emotional, physical, social, and sexual development? This book was written to explain what can go wrong in the dynamic between a mother, father, and a little girl in her early childhood. It is written to explain the dynamics of the Electra complex in the areas of sexual development that can occur in a young girl. Real-life case studies are included! ungekürzt. Language: English.

    The Narcissist's Wife , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 264min
    Mike Pazzo was my husband.He was also a narcissist.Every conversation with Mike was a fight. I couldn’t hold my own, much less win those fights. Why did every conversation have to be won or lost? Damn, it was exhausting. He beat me down with his barrage of caustic words and his superior argumentative techniques. And he loved it.Sometimes I’d fall at his feet, prostrate in absolute abject defeat just to get him to stop yelling at me. I’d sit back on my heels and bow to him, which he loathed. I’m not sure whether he was disgusted or infuriated. I’m not even sure whether I was being sarcastic or authentic in my show of submission.In those moments, he would ball up his fists in silent fury - and walk away. That is when I began to wonder when he would hit me.When - not if. It was only a matter of time before his abuse became physical. He was a violent man on the inside.In that moment, I knew there was no turning back. I was the trapped fox that gnaws off its own foot to escape. Freedom at all costs. Even if you leave part of yourself behind. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jelyne Helms. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/160629/bk_acx0_160629_sample.mp3.
