While civil war looms in Oz, a tetchy oracle named Yackle prepares for death. Before her final hour, a figure known as Brrr - the Cowardly Lion - arrives searching for information about Elphaba Thropp, the Wicked Witch of the West. Abandoned as a cub, his path from infancy is no Yellow Brick Road. In the wake of laws that oppress talking animals, he avoids a jail sentence by agreeing to serve as a lackey to the warmongering Emperor of Oz. A Lion Among Men chronicles a battle of wits hastened by the Emerald City's approaching armies. Can those tarnished by infamy escape their sobriquets to claim their own histories, to live honorably within their own skins before they're skinned alive? Gregory Maguire's new novel is written with the sympathy and power that have made his books contemporary classics. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: John McDonough.

    A Good Result
    Two women in crisis. A saboteur in the shadows. A town looking the other way... As soon as they arrive in the seaside paradise of Yamba, Georgie knows that Scott's sisters Viv and Lissa are in trouble. Month after month, Viv and Lissa's fledgling business, Coffee, Cakes & Crepes, has been plagued by problems. At first, Viv and Lissa think that they are just unlucky. An old building, growing pains, a run of bad luck...they are convinced that it will all blow over. Finally, they have no choice but to face facts: it just isn't possible that all these mini-disasters can be a coincidence. But who wants to get rid of them so badly that they'll stop at nothing? Is it the town gossip who just "happens" to be there when things go wrong? Is it the girl who cold-heartedly stole the man that Viv was in love with, and doesn't want her around? Could it be the tetchy old-school cafe owner and his downtrodden wife across the road? Or is it someone else, hiding in the shadows? For Georgie and Scott, the stakes are high indeed. This is family. This is personal.
