    Brasyl , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 882min
    Ian Macdonald's River of Gods, painted a vivid picture of a near future India, 100 years after independence. It revolutionised British science fiction for a new generation by taking a perspective that was not European or American. Brasyl will do the same for South America's largest and most vibrant country. This is a story that begins in the favelas, the slums of Rio, and quickly expands to take in drugs, corruption, and a frightening new technology that allows access to all the multiple worlds that have slipped into existence in other planes every time we make a decision. This is rich, epic science fiction that opens our eyes to the world around us and posits mind-blowing alternative sciences. It is a landmark work in modern science fiction from one of its most respected practitioners. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Nigel Pilkington.

    Redeemer: John Milton, Book 12 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 610min
    Rio de Janeiro. Brazilians call it Cidade Maravilhosa - the Marvellous City - but crime festers in its favelas like cancer. John Milton is visiting an old friend who runs a close protection business guarding the city's elite. Milton offers to stand in when one of his bodyguards doesn’t turn up for work. The job? Take the wife and daughter of an anticorruption judge to a school recital and bring them back again. Simple? Not so much. The girl is snatched off the street, and Milton is nearly killed. As he recovers at a Group Fifteen safe house, he decides on two objectives. First, find the girl. Second, punish the kidnappers for what they’ve done. Milton’s trip becomes a lethal quest into the heart of the lawless slums and against the gangs who wield the real power in Rio. But Milton won’t stop there - he’ll chase them right into the horrific heart of darkness until his special brand of justice has been well and truly served. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Brazil , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 606min
    Michael Palin journeys to a vast country of unimaginable contrasts - Brazil. An economic powerhouse, it is host to a staggering variety of peoples. He starts his journey in the north, in the remote mountains and forests on the border with Venezuela, and finishes in the south at the legendary Iguaçu Falls. He travels by river-boat, float-plane and foot to visit tribes deep in the jungle, samples life in the agricultural and mining heartland of Brazil, experiences the modernism of Brasília and the heady mix of Rio de Janeiro, and ventures into the favelas. He travels down the northeast coast with its African-inspired culture; to São Luís; Recife and Salvador, where Michael is swept up in Candomblé. He heads to São Paulo, where the super-rich commute by helicopter; tastes German beer served from a motorcycle sidecar, and tries his hand at being a cowboy before journey's end beneath one of the most spectacular waterfalls in the world. ungekürzt.

    Lost Paradise: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 236min
    In Lost Paradise, Nooteboom sets out to connect two seemingly unrelated strangers whom he has glimpsed on his travels, and to explore the major impact that small interactions can have on the course of our journeys. A beautiful woman aboard a Berlin-bound flight becomes Alma, a young lady who leaves her parents' Sao Paolo home on a hot summer night in a fit of depression. Her car engine dies in one of the city's most dangerous favelas, a mob surrounds her, and she is pulled from the automobile. To escape her memory of the assault, she flees across the world, to Australia, where she becomes involved in the beautiful but bizarre Angel Project. Not long after, Dutch literary critic Erik Zontag is in Perth, Australia, for a conference. He has found a winged woman curled up in a closet in an empty house. He reaches out, and for a second allows his fingertips to brush her feathers - and then she speaks. The intersection of their paths illuminates the extraordinary coincidences that propel our lives. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Rebecca Mozo, Paul Boehmer.

    City: A Guidebook for the Urban Age , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 821min
    For the first time in the history of our planet, more than half the population - 3.3 billion people - is now living in cities. City is the ultimate guidebook to our urban centers - the signature unit of human civilization. With erudite prose, this unique work of metatourism explores what cities are and how they work. It covers history, customs and language, districts, transport, money, work, shops and markets, and tourist sites, creating a fantastically detailed portrait of the city through history and into the future. The urban explorer will revel in essays on downtowns, suburbs, shantytowns and favelas, graffiti, skylines, crime, the theater, street food, sport, eco-cities, and sacred sites, as well as mini essays on the Tower of Babel, flash mobs, ghettos, skateboarding, and SimCity, among many others. Acclaimed author and independent scholar P. D. Smith explores what it was like to live in the first cities, how they have evolved, and why in the future, cities will play an even greater role in human life. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Steven Crossley. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/adbl/009534/bk_adbl_009534_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    Bewohnte Sparschweine (brand eins: Sparwahn)
    Ein Beitrag aus der Juniausgabe der brand eins zum Schwerpunkt 'Sparwahn'. In Brasilien wird nicht gespart. Sondern gebaut. Oder konsumiert. Weil es Wichtigeres gibt als Geld. Ohne Wüstenroth und Eigenheimzulage, ohne Bausparvertrag und Architekt wird in Brasilien gebaut, was der Zement hält. Die Favelas wachsen in die Breite und in die Höhe. Kürzlich haben die Stadtplaner von Rio de Janeiro sechsstöckige Schwarzbauten in der Favela Rocinha entdeckt. Die Folge: Wenn die Nachfrage nach Zement, Ziegeln, Eternit und PVC-Rohren steigt, geht es mit der Wirtschaft aufwärts. Und an Nachfrage herrscht kein Mangel: Rund 30 Prozent der Baumaterialien wandern in den Eigenbau. Die Bauherren haben zwar kein Bankkonto, aber ein Sparschwein - das Haus, in dem sie leben...
