    Nail of Iron , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 780min
    Genetic experimentation, gene manipulation, nuclear micro science, and threatening religious providence come together touching upon the lives of an ordinary couple from a New York suburb. Near retirement and seeking to settle away from a terrible past not of their creation but from one forced upon them by fanatics on the other side of the globe decades ago, they find themselves the mistaken product of a shuttered government experiment. Their world of common repetition, family, and set friends, stagnant and predictive, is bent into a driving story of physical and spiritual revelation, of politics outside of civilian life, of the shifting machinery that is progress and its silent war with the foundation of the divine. Man has stepped into the realm of the divine with a heavy clad boot, the delicate weave of creation shaking under his inelegant hand and his brutish, infantile grasp of the machinery of the universe. It's here that we will find out answers but only by destroying first, causing ruin, and gaining wisdom. Can it be done without causing our own extinction? ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Martin Chuzzlewit: Penguin English Library, Hörbuch, Digital, 324min
    Penguin Classics presents the audiobook adaptation of Martin Chuzzlewit, a tale of inheritance and destiny and the story Dickens considered his best. Read by John Wells. The greed of his family has led wealthy old Martin Chuzzlewit to become suspicious and misanthropic, leaving his grandson and namesake to make his own way in the world. And so young Martin sets out from the Wiltshire home of his supposed champion, the scheming architect Pecksniff, to seek his fortune in America. In depicting Martin’s journey - an experience that teaches him to question his inherited self-interest and egotism - Dickens created many vividly realized figures: the brutish lout Jonas Chuzzlewit, plotting to gain the family fortune; Martin’s optimistic manservant, Mark Tapley; gentle Tom Pinch; and the drunken and corrupt private nurse, Mrs Gamp. With its portrayal of greed, blackmail and murder, and its searing satire on America Dickens’ novel is a powerful and blackly comic story of hypocrisy and redemption. Part of a series of abridged, vintage recordings taken from the Penguin Archives. Affordable, collectable, quality productions - perfect for on-the-go listening. Language: English. Narrator: John Wells. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/pauk/000223/bk_pauk_000223_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    Agnes Grey , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 483min
    In her daring first novel, the youngest Brontë sister drew upon her own experiences to tell the unvarnished truth about life as a governess. Like Agnes Grey, Anne Bronte was a young middle-class Victorian lady whose family fortunes had faltered. Like so many other unmarried women of the 19th century, Bronte accepted the only "respectable" employment available - and entered a world of hardship, humiliation, and loneliness. Written with a realism that shocked critics, this biting social commentary offers a sympathetic portrait of Agnes and a moving indictment of her brutish and haughty employers. Separated from her family and friends by many miles, paid little more than subsistence wages, Agnes stands alone - both in society at large and in a household where she is neither family member nor servant. Agnes Grey remains a landmark in the literature of social history. In addition to its challenge to the era's chauvinism and materialism, it features a first-person narrative that offers a rare opportunity to hear the voice of a Victorian working woman. ungekürzt.

    On her 17th birthday, Megan of Chaumont discovers she'll be sold as a bride to the brutish Volodane family - within hours. Her father grants only that she may choose which one of the ruthless, grasping lord's three sons she weds: Rolf, the eldest: stern, ambitious, and loyal? Sebastian, the second son: sympathetic, sly, and rebellious? Or Kai, the youngest: bitter, brooding, and proud? As shy, horrified Megan flees the welcome dinner for her in-laws-to-be, she finds an enchanted mirror that will display how her life unrolls with each man, as if she were living it out in a breath. But there is no smooth "happily ever after" in her choices. Deaths and honors, joys and agonies, intrigues and escapes await her in a remote, ramshackle keep, where these rough but complex men reveal one side and then another of their jagged characters - and bring forth new aspects of Megan, too. But the decisions of one teenaged marriage-pawn reverberate much farther than any of them have guessed.... ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Rendah Heywood.
