    Butcher's Crossing (eBook, ePUB)
    In his National Book Award-winning novel Augustus, John Williams uncovered the secrets of ancient Rome. With Butcher's Crossing, his fiercely intelligent, beautifully written western, Williams dismantles the myths of modern America. It is the 1870s, and Will Andrews, fired up by Emerson to seek "an original relation to nature," drops out of Harvard and heads west. He washes up in Butcher's Crossing, a small Kansas town on the outskirts of nowhere. Butcher's Crossing is full of restless men looking for ways to make money and ways to waste it. Before long Andrews strikes up a friendship with one of them, a man who regales Andrews with tales of immense herds of buffalo, ready for the taking, hidden away in a beautiful valley deep in the Colorado Rockies. He convinces Andrews to join in an expedition to track the animals down. The journey out is grueling, but at the end is a place of paradisal richness. Once there, however, the three men abandon themselves to an orgy of slaughter, so caught up in killing buffalo that they lose all sense of time. Winter soon overtakes them: they are snowed in. Next spring, half-insane with cabin fever, cold, and hunger, they stagger back to Butcher's Crossing to find a world as irremediably changed as they have been.

    Audrun, Davyn, and their four children have fled their war-scourged homeland, joining a karavan headed toward a haven of peace where diviners have said their fifth child - the one Audrun now carries - must be born. But now, desperate to reach safety before the child comes, they have chosen to break off from the karavan and take a dangerous route too near the sentient hell called Alisanos. They have barely begun their perilous journey when - with screaming winds, buckling earth, and burning rain - the deepwood overtakes them, separating and scattering this fragile human family, taking all but Audrun's husband, Davyn, into itself. Her family lost, left in a terrifying landscape with only Rhuan, the karavan guide, Audrun births her baby four months too soon…and yet, freakishly, full term. For Alisanos has already claimed her and her newborn baby for itself. And Rhuan, her mysterious companion, reveals that he is not in fact Shoia, but something far stranger - a creature of the deepwood, a dioscuri - the child of an Alisani god and a human woman. Protected only by a being only half human, and with the deepwood already affecting her and her newborn child, can Audrun find her lost family and retain her humanity in the midst of Alisanos' capricious terrors? ungekürzt.

The long, catastrophic war between his people, the aelars, and the humans is drawing ever-closer to his village.After nearly getting killed in an ambush near his village, Aelix's village begins an emergency evacuation. During the evacuation, Aelix runs into a group of soldiers on their way to boot camp where Aelix learns about military training and warfare. The Guardians band together and do the unthinkable: They plot a coup against the king they swore to guard.Aelix volunteers to seize the royal gems from the palace while the rest of the unit overtakes the king and prepares to defend against the follow-on attack that the humans will surely bring. Aelix hears of clans backing Lavis (former king) and is warned that a civil war might break out. The humans are certainly eager to encourage a civil war, so that they can split the aelars apart and conquer them separately.Unable to get in contact with the Guardians at the frontline because of the massive storm, Aelix calls for a volunteer army, insisting in an incredible and well received speech that this will not be a war of extermination. ungekürzt.

    Not Dead Yet: A Feisty Bohemian Explores the Art of Growing Old , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 449min
    An NPR Book of the Year, “worth, oh well, its weight in gold. . . . vivid and eloquent.” (The New York Times Book ReviewAn upbeat memoir to savor and admire, Not Dead Yet proves that in your later years you can still be going strong . . . and having fun! “Old age is a shipwreck,” Charles de Gaulle once observed. Not so, says Herb Gold in this lively, often hilarious memoir of his first seven decades. He is clearly enjoying every moment to its fullest. This is a book about how time overtakes us, how reminiscence, loss, hope, pain, success, failure—the lifelong accumulation of dreams and reality—crowd about us with every passing day. Combining a fascinating selection of people, places, and key events from a long life into the alembic of his ever-fertile imagination, Gold has distilled gold from his uncanny ability to recall conversations, anecdotes, atmosphere, and telling detail. By turns wickedly funny (“Prostate surgeries and hysterectomies are not immediately visible at art gallery openings.”) and touching (“It’s harder to learn how to laugh alone.”), Not Dead Yet, in this age of overheated memoirs, will surely find its way to a grateful audience both young and young at heart. ungekürzt.
