    Uncle Tom's Cabin , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1127min
    So this is the little lady that made the big war." The authenticity of Lincoln's words have been questioned, but there is no question that the work fueled the passion and prejudices of countless numbers. It is a work of overwhelming power and persuasions which has outlived even the most severe critics. Notwithstanding its contribution to the abolitionist movement, the book offers a balanced treatment; there is admiration for the best of Southern gentility and the villain is a Vermonter. The dilemma posed by this book has yet to be solved. What is it to be "a moral human being"? And how can such a person survive in society? Mrs. Stowe's book is about more than just slavery. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jim Roberts. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/jimc/000037/bk_jimc_000037_sample.mp3.

    Die Schatten der Ideen
    1935: Der deutsche Historiker Julius Steinberg flüchtet wegen seiner jüdischen Herkunft aus Nazideutschland in die USA. Nach einer dramatischen Odyssee durchs Elend des Exils findet er sein privates und berufliches Glück als Professor am Vermonter Centerville College. Doch als er unverschuldet in die Mühlen von McCarthys Hexenjagd auf Kommunisten gerät, wird Steinbergs amerikanischer Traum zum Albtraum. Ein halbes Jahrhundert später, im Jahr des Irak-Kriegs, kommt der Schriftsteller Moritz Carlsen als Writer in Residence ans Centerville College, um dort ein halbes Jahr lang zu unterrichten. Die Arbeitsbedingungen sind gut, das Salär angemessen, und der allgegenwärtige Patriotismus, mit dem die Amerikaner ihre Truppen im Irak unterstützen, scheint in Centerville nur eine lästige Pflichtübung zu sein. Doch dann stößt Carlsen durch Zufall auf Briefe und nachgelassene Aufzeichnungen Julius Steinbergs - geschrieben im Gefängnis.Anfangs nur neugierig, recherchiert Carlsen den abenteuerlichen Lebensweg des vor 50 Jahren emigrierten Historikers und kommt einem dunklen Geheimnis auf die Spur. In der von Misstrauen und Hysterie geprägten Gegenwart macht er die bittere Erfahrung, dass die Geschichte sich wiederholt. Denn Carlsen bringt verstörende Ereignisse ans Licht, an die sich in Centerville niemand erinnern will...

    Radio Free Vermont: A Fable of Resistance , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 353min
    We've got a long history of resistance in Vermont, and this book is testimony to that fact. (Bernie Sanders) A book that's also the beginning of a movement, Bill McKibben's debut novel Radio Free Vermont follows a band of Vermont patriots who decide that their state might be better off as its own republic. As the host of Radio Free Vermont - "underground, underpowered, and underfoot" - 72-year-old Vern Barclay is currently broadcasting from an "undisclosed and double-secret location". With the help of a young computer prodigy named Perry Alterson, Vern uses his radio show to advocate for a simple yet radical idea: an independent Vermont, one where the state secedes from the United States and operates under a free local economy. But for now, he and his radio show must remain untraceable, because in addition to being a lifelong Vermonter and concerned citizen, Vern Barclay is also a fugitive from the law. In Radio Free Vermont, Bill McKibben entertains and expands upon an idea that's become more popular than ever - seceding from the United States. Along with Vern and Perry, McKibben imagines an eccentric group of activists who carry out their own version of guerilla warfare, which includes dismissing local middle school children early in honor of "Ethan Allen Day" and hijacking a Coors Light truck and replacing the stock with local brew. Witty, biting, and terrifyingly timely, Radio Free Vermont is Bill McKibben's fictional response to the burgeoning resistance movement.  ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Danny Campbell.

    Entirely Surrounded , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 286min
    It is 1934. Red-headed Henry Cook, fresh out of Amherst and excited about working on his first book at an infamous writers' colony, arrives at the Vermont island retreat at the invitation of its owner, Thaddeus Hulbert, a boisterous, bellowing, bloviated curmudgeon, whose reputation as a novelist, columnist, and radio commentator has vaulted him to national prominence. Additional island guests include Clarence Fitch, the editor of a prominent New York magazine; Agnes Sterner, an elegant, mature woman, also an author and close friend of Hulbert's; Daisy Lester, a nationally-known nightclub singer also known by Hulbert and friends to be a heavy drinker if not watched carefully; and Leith O'Fallon, an artist, writer, and liberal cause protester for whom Henry falls hard. Among the supporting characters are Mr. Veitch, the slow-drawling Vermonter who navigates the mail boat to and from the island, and Jenny, the shrieking housekeeper and cook who tends - genially if not loudly - to the needs of Hulbert's guests. Entirely Surrounded is a slightly venomous roman à clef poking satirically at the habits of several of the Algonquin Round Table notables: Alexander Woollcott (Hulbert), Alice Duer Miller (Sterner), Dorothy Parker (Lester), Harold Ross of the New Yorker (Fitch), and Neysa McMein, popular magazine cover illustrator (O'Fallon). The novel's author and narrator, Charles Brackett (Cook), had been a regular at the Algonquin for several years before leaving for Hollywood at the peak of the group's notoriety. Through Entirely Surrounded, Brackett deconstructs the Round Table's core elite and re-assembles them on their lake encircled hideaway to endure each other's company, play croquet, backgammon, cribbage, and anagrams, all under the withering snide and cutting bombasts of their host, Hulbert. The story's narrator, Henry Cook, is the mean gang's naïve foil, surrounded as he is by the idols of his literary dreams, vip ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: C. James Moore.
