Parnassus on Wheels , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 209min

Parnassus on Wheels is the story of a marvelous man, small in stature, wiry as a cat, yet Olympic in personality. Roger Mifflin is part pixie, part sage, part noble savage, and all God's creature. With his traveling book wagon, named Parnassus, he moves through the New England countryside of 1915 on an itinerant mission of enlightenment. Mifflin's delight in books and authors (if not publishers) is infectious. With his singular philosophy and bright eyes, he comes to represent the heart and soul of the book world.A roaring good adventure yarn spiced with fiery roadside brawls, the most groaning boards in the history of Yankee cookery, heroic escapes from death, and a rare love story, Roger Mifflin's story shows how bookselling can be one of the world's highest callings: dispelling ignorance while causing constant delight. ungekürzt.

True West, Hörbuch, Digital, 87min

Kit Harington (Games of Thrones) and Johnny Flynn (Beast) smolder and burn as sparring brothers in Sam Shepard’s darkly comic 1980 drama. The Cain and Abel conflict is a showdown of sibling rivalry, to be sure, but also bears witness to a legacy of booze-fueled family brawls. As Harington and Flynn duel it out, they bring a cagey, wiry energy to director Matthew Dunster’s West End revival of this Pulitzer Prize finalist. The portrait of the estranged pair is a riveting study in contrasts as Harington’s successful screenwriter and Flynn’s scheming grifter explosively collide in the California desert. The scorched, arid setting is more than just a backdrop; its expanse and emptiness make it a palpable presence in a play about wounded masculinity and broken dreams. The live theatre production of True West was performed at the Vaudeville Theatre in London, United Kingdom, in 2019. It was produced by Joseph Smith and John Brant for Smith & Brant Theatricals and James Bierman for Empire Street Productions. Portions of this audio drama contain mature language and themes. Listener discretion is advised. Language: English. Narrator: Kit Harington, Johnny Flynn. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/or/orig/000296/or_orig_000296_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

Touched with Fire: Based on the True Story of Ellen Craft , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 672min

Touched with Fire, a novel of the Civil War inspired by the true story of Ellen Craft. Awarded top Historical Fiction Gold Medal Award for 2016 by eLitAwards. Ellen Craft is property; in this case, of her half-sister Debra, to whom she was given as a wedding gift. The illegitimate daughter of a Georgia plantation owner and a house slave, she learned to hate her own image, which so closely resembled that of her "father": the same wiry build, the same blue eyes, and the same pale - indeed, lily-white - skin. Ellen lives a solitary life until she falls, unexpectedly, in love with a dark-skinned slave named William Craft, and together they devise a plan to run north. Ellie will pose as a gentleman planter bound for Philadelphia accompanied by his "boy" Will. They make it as far as Baltimore when Will is turned back, and Ellie has no choice but continue. With no way of knowing if he is dead or alive, she resolves to make a second journey - south again. And so Elijah Craft enlists with the 125th Ohio Volunteers of the Union Army: she will literally fight her way back to her husband. Eli/Ellie's journey is the story of an extraordinary individual and an abiding love, but also of the corrosive effects of slavery, and of a nation at a watershed moment. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Brave Hearted

"Myth and misunderstanding spring from the American frontier as readily as rye grass from sod, and - like the wiry grass - seem as difficult to weed out and discard."The true-life story of women's experiences in the 'Wild West' is more gripping, more heart-rending, and more stirring than all the movies, novels, folk-legends and ballads that popular imagination has been able to create.Whether they were the hard-drinking hard-living poker players and prostitutes of the new boom towns, 'ordinary' wives and mothers walking two thousand miles across the prairies pulling their handcarts behind them, Chinese slave-brides working in laundries, or the Native American women displaced by the mass migration of the 'whites' to their lands, all have one trait in common: that of extreme resilience and courage in the face of the unknown. Reading the extraordinary accounts they have left behind them, their experiences seem as strange to us today as it must have been to have lived through them, perhaps even stranger. They were put to the test, in terms of sheer survival, in ways that we can only dimly imagine.Praise for Katie Hickman'Fascinating . . . I was swept along by Hickman's concise chapters and her crisp, wry style,' The Times 'Absolutely brilliant . . . remarkable women, until now almost unknown. I was so gripped I couldn't put it down' Antonia Fraser'Goes beneath the surface of imperial male history . . . a cast of extraordinary women. Wonderful' Anita Anand

Tumbling in the Downdrift , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 298min

Even the sunny clime of a Florida beach town has its dark undercurrents. When the body of a real estate agent is found floating in the water just off the panhandle near Santa Rosa Island, only one woman has the wits and knows the ways of the waters to track down her killer. That woman is Carla Harper, though she's not exactly in the best spirits these days to go chasing the bad guys. Tumbling in the Downdrift is the debut novel by T. K. Hatfield that tells a searing story of murder and betrayal, with a loyal mutt thrown in for good measure. It's a pause-resisting mystery that will enthrall listeners who like their characters with a dash of sea salt and their murder served beachside. Out on her boat, Tenacious, on the beautiful Emerald Coast beaches - in an effort to recover from a tragedy involving her late husband, Marty - former Coast Guard officer Carla Harper discovers a strangled body that turns out to be her friend. Local real estate agent Crystal Mason was the wife of Dale, and the couple had spent many a convivial evening with Carla and Marty. Before she knows it, Carla is wading knee-deep in the investigation, in spite of the fact that she doesn't have law enforcement authority in Florida. Using her military investigations training, Carla works to clear Crystal's husband, Dale, from suspicion, with a trail of leads wending its way as far as Mexico to find out just what a wiry dockside dude knows about the circumstances. And when a tony local named Nicholas Dickson Price gets involved, the stakes become perilously high. As Carla chases down leads, the bodies mount, and Carla herself becomes the target of break-ins and police acrimony. With her colorful mother, Jolie, and trusty four-legged sidekick, Molly, Carla musters the strength to sleuth out the real killer, all while grieving the loss of Marty. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Twice Blessed: A Futanari Virgin Story , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 57min, (USK 18)

Brooke isn’t an ordinary futanari...while most futas are drawn to women, she finds men incredibly sexy! But none of the men she’s known have wanted her back...until she meets Dale, a sexy quarterback who’s secretly bi-curious. When they make a deal to satisfy each others’ lusty erotic cravings, they both get way more than they ever expected! Not your ordinary boy-meets-girl love story! (PG) Excerpt: Even as she panted with rising pleasure, Brooke glared down at the source of all her woes. It was nearly seven inches long, thick as the circle between her thumb and index finger, and crowned with a shapely purplish head that was incredibly sensitive. It rose proudly from the tight wiry curls at her groin, and curved enticingly toward her flat stomach. How she wished it would curl the other way, so she could... But that would make her even more of a freak, she thought with a frustrated sigh. Didn’t she already have enough trouble? Her pediatrician had assured her parents that it would wither away on its own through lack of use. It hadn’t, though. It had grown big and strong right along with the rest of her body, and had been her worst enemy until that magical day she’d discovered she could stroke it and feel...incredible! She didn’t mind so much living like a hermit and working from home when it meant she could walk around naked and masturbate whenever she wanted. And she wanted to a lot, because futas had abnormally strong sex drives. But lately she’d become more aware of her isolation. According to the rumors, most of the Others - as she thought of them, because she hated thinking of herself as a futanari...it sounded so different, and she was deathly tired of being different - seemed attracted to women. Her strong attraction to men was just one more indication that she was a freak. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Timothy Baxter.
