    One More Night , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 188min
    Furious when the wild tempest swept into his conference room, insulted, and attacked him, Nate was more than ready to make her eat her words and apologize. However, the moment he set eyes on her again there was only one thing he wanted above everything else. And that was to get her into bed. What he never expected was to keep on experiencing the best sex he’d ever had in his life. He was positive if he could have only one more night with her he could wash her completely out of his system. Much to his horror, though, he realized it wasn’t going to be that simple; like an addict he craved her even more. In the end he knows there is only one solution and that he couldn’t live without her. He could only pray she wouldn’t refuse his offer. Only wanting to protect her sister and make the fiend pay for seducing Sandie, Cooper felt only slightly regretful that she had accused the wrong man. The second he arrived in town, she couldn’t deny the fact that she wanted him desperately. She knew there couldn’t be anything else between them but one or two nights of sex. He was the love-em-and-leave-em kind of man and it would be utterly foolish to wish for anything more. When tragedy struck she could no longer deny what was in her heart and, even though it hurt tremendously, she knew that she would send him away. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jim Roberts.

    My Squirrel Days , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 374min
    Mostly true stories by the irrepressible star of the hit Netflix series Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.There comes a time in every actress' life when she is faced with the prospect of writing a book. Ellie Kemper, the star of hit Netflix sitcom Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, first gained attention with a one-woman show, Feeling Sad/Mad, at the UCB Theatre in New York, founded by a comedy troupe that counted Amy Poehler, among others, in its ranks. Kemper's popularity exponentially grew with a regular role in the US version of The Office, followed by appearances in the highly successful Bridesmaids and 21 Jump Street.Kemper's infectious personality and easy, natural humour inspired Tina Fey to develop and write Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt specifically for her, and those same qualities shine through in My Squirrel Days, essays and funny stories from Kemper's childhood and career. From her upbringing in suburban St. Louis to her stuffed walrus Waldo to auditioning for Saturday Night Live, from the time she accidentally insulted Ricky Gervais at the Emmy Awards to when she offered a maxi pad to Steve Carrell, Ellie will guide you along her journey through adulthood, from unorganised bride to impatient wife to anxious mother who - as recently observed by a sassy hairstylist - 'dresses like a mum'. Having previously written for GQ, Esquire and The Onion, Ellie Kemper has a voice that is the perfect antidote to the chaos of modern life. My Squirrel Days promises to be as hilarious and as joyous as the best of her work onscreen. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Ellie Kemper.

    Visions of Isabelle , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 585min
    In 1903, a tall woman with flashing Tartar eyes was the talk of military circles, newspaper offices, and salons. Her name was Isabelle Eberhardt, and the life she actually led made her justifiably the object of the most scandalous gossip in Paris as well as in North Africa. This compelling novel, a fictionalized biography, tells her story - the story of a brave, self-destructive and sensual being with an irrepressible rage to live. Isabelle came to Tunis when she was 17, longing for fame as an author and discovering that her life could be the inspiration for her art. She converted to Islam and dressed as a man chiefly because it allowed her to wander freely and taste the delicacies of a forbidden existence. Her brief life encompassed an enormous range of experience. She joined a mystic religious sect and was nearly assassinated because of it, went to trial over the scandal and was forced to leave the country. She followed the French army into the Sahara as a journalist, insulted the great and the famous, spent sleepless nights in rapturous mystical prayer. When she died, at the age of 27, she was reputed to have slept with most of the Foreign Legion. Isabelle's goal was to rediscover herself through her excesses, her fears and her joys, so that perhaps one day she might rend the veil which hid from her the secrets of eternity. This fascinating novel about her life proves admirably that the best of Isabelle Eberhardt lay in her energy and determination to dive into the midst of maelstrom and ride out the fury of her existence. ungekürzt.

    The Ajax Dilemma: Justice, Fairness, and Rewards , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 394min
    We live in a world where CEOs give themselves million dollar bonuses even as their companies go bankrupt and ordinary workers are laid off; where athletes make millions while teachers struggle to survive; a world, in short, where rewards are often unfairly meted out. In The Ajax Dilemma, Paul Woodruff examines one of today's most pressing moral issues: how to distribute rewards and public recognition without damaging the social fabric. How should we honor those whose behavior and achievement is essential to our overall success? Is it fair or right to lavish rewards on the superstar at the expense of the hardworking rank-and-file? How do we distinguish an impartial fairness from what is truly just? Woodruff builds his answer to these questions around the ancient conflict between Ajax and Odysseus over the armor of the slain warrior Achilles. King Agamemnon arranges a speech contest to decide the issue. Ajax, the loyal workhorse, loses the contest, and the priceless armor, to Odysseus, the brilliantly deceptive strategist who will lead the Greeks to victory. Deeply insulted, Ajax goes on a rampage and commits suicide, and in his rage we see the resentment of every loyal worker who has been passed over in favor of those who are more gifted, or whose skills are more highly valued. How should we deal with the "Ajax dilemma"? Woodruff argues that while we can never create a perfect system for distributing just rewards, we can recognize the essential role that wisdom, compassion, moderation, and respect must play if we are to restore the basic sense of justice on which all communities depend. This short, thoughtful book, written with Woodruff's characteristic elegance, investigates some of the most bitterly divisive issues in American today. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Britty Britty Bang Bang: One Man's Attempt to Understand His Country , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 465min
    Mock the Week and Outnumbered's Hugh Dennis with an hilarious and insightful exploration of the changing image of Britain and Britishness. Hugh Dennis has secretly been worrying about what being "British" meant for nearly a decade, ever since his friend Ardal O'Hanlon had told him in passing that he was the most British person he had ever met. Hugh was unclear whether he was being praised, teased, vaguely insulted, or possibly all three - because it has always been very difficult to know how to feel about being British. And then the London Olympics came along. We gave the world a gleaming new vision of Britain; a smiling Britain of achievement, a Britain responsible for leading the world into the modern era through the Agrarian and Industrial Revolutions, a nation proud to embrace multiculturalism, individuality, and eccentricity. A country where a major politician can dangle helplessly from a zip wire like a discarded straw dolly and gain in popularity, and whose Queen can send herself up and then descend by parachute. The unexpected legacy of the Games has been a Britain with a new found self-confidence in which we all know how to be British. A Britain which should be embarrassed by nothing and proud of everything, from sheep to chimneys to the Spice Girls to industrial action and what had always previously been described as our "ailing transport network". A Britain which having been pinned firmly in its own half, has dribbled the length of the field, nutmegged the defenders, unleashed a curling dipping shot into the top right-hand corner, scored a wonder goal and is now kissing the badge. This is Hugh Dennis' exploration of the changing image of Britain and Britishness. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Hugh Dennis.
