Regent: The Force of the Gods, Part II , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 715min
Six months ago, Peter Rutherford ended a war which had lasted 20,000 years. Having done that, it seems that anything else would be mundane by comparison - even having inherited the innocent subjects of a world of torment and horror. Mundanity is what he craves, but he hasn't counted on the presence of beings who might hold him accountable for his actions: the first Law of Magic governs actions so massive that transgressions are impossible to hide. ungekürzt.

Seasons of Rose , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 202min
This story is about a girl named Rose. She does not have powers or get kidnapped by trolls or discover a gold mine in her backyard. She does a whole lot of normal stuff, and I hope to show how much meaning there is in that “mundanity”. In sitting at the kitchen table with your family to share a meal. In hugging someone you love. In noticing the way grass feels or a willow tree bends. In talking. In crying. In laughing. In absolutely everything, if you look for it. In essence, this is narrated to remind you of the magic of opened eyes! ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Ashley Brie Myers.

The Mahé Circle , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 218min
The first English publication of Georges Simenon's compelling novel about summer escape and elusive obsessions. 'The island itself. Its throbbing heat as if in a bell jar under the sun, the scorpion in his son's bed, the deafening sound of cicadas.' During his first holiday on the island of Porquerolles, Dr Mahé caught a glimpse of something irresistible. As the memory continues to haunt him, he falls prey to a delusion that may offer an escape from his conventional existence - or may destroy him. This is the first English translation of The Mahé Circle, Simenon's dark, malevolent depiction of an ordinary man trapped in mundanity and consumed by obsession. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Randomly Moving Particles , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 97min
Randomly Moving Particles is built from two long poems that form its opening and close, connected by three shorter pieces. The title poem, in a kaleidoscope of compelling scenes, engages with subjects that include migration, placement, loss, space exploration and current British and American politics. It is a clarifying action and reaction between terra and solar system, mundanity and possibility, taking us from the grit of road surfaces to the distant glimpses of satellites. The final poem, How Do the Dead Walk, combines mythic reach with acute observation of the familiar in order to address issues of contemporary violence. It is altogether more dreamlike, even in its tangibly military moments, grasping as it does at phantoms and intermediate plains. Andrew Motion's expansive new poetry collection is direct in its emotional appeal, ambitious in its scope, all the while retaining the cinematic vision and startling expression that so freshly lit the lines of his last, Essex Clay. ungekürzt.
