    Derek Palacio's stunning, mythic novel marks the arrival of a fresh voice and a new chapter in the history of 21st-century Cuban American literature. In 1980 a rural Cuban family is torn apart during the Mariel Boatlift. Uxbal Encarnación - father, husband, political insurgent - refuses to leave behind the revolutionary ideals and lush tomato farms of his sun-soaked homeland. His wife, Soledad, takes young Isabel and Ulises hostage and flees with them to America, leaving behind Uxbal for the promise of a better life. But instead of settling with fellow Cuban immigrants in Miami's familiar heat, Soledad pushes farther north into the stark, wintry landscape of Hartford, Connecticut. There, in the long shadow of their estranged patriarch, now just a distant memory, the exiled mother and her children begin a process of growth and transformation. Each struggles and flourishes in their own way: Isabel, spiritually hungry and desperate for higher purpose, finds herself tethered to death and the dying in uncanny ways. Ulises is bookish and awkwardly tall, like his father, whose memory haunts and shapes the boy's thoughts and desires. Presiding over them both is Soledad. Once consumed by her love for her husband, she begins a tempestuous new relationship with a Dutch tobacco farmer. But just as the Encarnacións begin to cultivate their strange new way of life, Cuba calls them back. Uxbal is alive...and waiting. Breathtaking, soulful, and profound, The Mortifications is an intoxicating family saga and a timely, urgent expression of longing for one's true homeland. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Money won't make you happy. But can it design machines that will? In the energy-scarce landscape of the former US, society has turned to mood-altering nanomachines to brighten its grim reality. Like many, Lance Mireles walks the line between use and abuse, all too aware of the hypocrisy that says the difference is who can afford their nanos. Falling on the wrong side of the line, but desperate to keep ties with his straight-edge younger brother Andro, he pushes his luck once too often, and ends up disowned from family and city-state, exiled to the political outlands. Determined to make things right, but still struggling with his addiction, he stumbles on an isolated addict commune with a mysterious source of nanomachines. It looks like a second chance - but hypocrisy has found its way here too. Meanwhile Mariela Amorgera realizes all is not well in the city: someone is manipulating the nanomachines' programming to influence behavior. Along with boyfriend Andro she mounts a desperate attempt to save her home and family from being enslaved to its own dependence - too late. With the entire city hostage to their nanos and society falling apart, Lance must summon his outlaw community to save his family and home - if he can first save himself. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    For the millions of Heinlein fans around the world comes a guided tour through the thoughts and insights of "one of the most influential writers in American literature" (New York Times Book Review). Robert A. Heinlein has been hailed as one of the most forward-thinking science fiction writers of all time, and Expanded Universe (presented in two volumes) offers the perfect collection of his works to provide listeners with true insights into his uniquely creative mind. Heinlein personally selected each story or essay for inclusion in this collection, which is ordered chronologically, with volume two picking up with "Nothing Ever Happens on the Moon". This remarkable collection highlights the development of Heinlein's writing style and his philosophy on life throughout his career. More importantly, this collection is as close to an autobiography as anything Heinlein wrote during his life. Heinlein was an extremely private person who never wrote much about himself. In this exclusive collection, he offers forewords to most of his stories and essays (and an occasional afterword), giving listeners a rare glimpse into the inner mind of the master. Expanded Universe, Vol. 2 is a must-have for any Heinlein enthusiast and any fan of science fiction.

    Im Land Asugol gibt es im Laufe eines jeden Jahres wenige junge Frauen und Männer, bei denen sich in der Handfläche ein Kristall bildet, der sogenannte Manuskristall. Wenn dies geschieht, weiß derjenige das er ein Günstling der Magie ist. Die Magier, die das Land beherrschen, residieren auf einer gewaltigen Burg, der Lichtfeste, die sich auf einer Insel in der Nähe des Festlandes befindet. Jedes Frühjahr schwärmen sie aus, um die Günstlinge von Asugol auf diese Burg zu bringen und sie dort zu unterrichten. Einer dieser Günstlinge ist der junge Cademar. Doch er will ein Magier, keiner der ihren werden. Also flieht er, bevor sie bei ihm zu Hause eintreffen. Unterwegs begegnet er dem ebenso flüchtigen Günstling Malkolm, und gemeinsam finden sie in den Bergen eine Zuflucht von Magiebegabten, die fern von der Lichtfeste leben. Doch der oberste Magier auf der Lichtfeste hat schon die Eroberung dieser Zuflucht geplant... deutsch. Thomas-Nero Wolff. https://samples.audible.de/bk/eyfa/000006/bk_eyfa_000006_sample.mp3.

    Celebrated Crimes, Volume Four by Alexandre Dumas. Translated by George Burnham Ives. Narrated by John Burlinson. Karl-Ludwig Sand - 1819 Urbain Grandier - 1634 Nisida - 1825 Alexandre Dumas, père, first published his famous eight-volume crime series in Paris in 1839 to 1840. It contained 18 stories that, as the author notes in the introduction, had “[T]he added value of giving the modern reader a clear picture of the state of semi-lawlessness which existed in Europe, during the middle ages.” In Volume Four, Dumas relates the 1819 murder of German dramatist August von Kotzebue by Karl Ludwig Sand, the campaign to destroy Father Urbain Grandier in 1634, who was successfully convicted of witchcraft and put to a brutal death, and the consequences of the amorous relationship between the prince of Brancaleone and Nisida. ungekürzt.

    From the former communications director for the White House and current political media strategist comes a suspenseful and smart novel about the first female president and all the dramas and deceptions she faces, both in politics and in love. Eighteen Acres, a description used by political insiders when referring to the White House complex, follows the first female president of the United States, Charlotte Kramer, and her staff as they take on dangerous threats from abroad and within her very own cabinet. Charlotte Kramer, the 45th U.S. president; Melanie Kingston, the White House chief of staff; and Dale Smith, a White House correspondent for one of the networks are all working tirelessly on Charlotte's campaign for re-election. At the very moment when they should have been securing success, though, Kramer's White House implodes under rumors of her husband's infidelity and grave errors of judgment on the part of her closest national security advisor. In an upheaval that threatens not only the presidency but the safety of the American people, Charlotte must fight to regain her footing and protect the the country she has devoted her life to serving. Eighteen Acres combines political and family drama into one un-pausable novel. It is a smart, juicy and fast-paced read that we're sure fans of commercial women's fiction will fall in total love with. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Susan Bennett.
