Eternity Ring: Miss Silver, Book 14 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 494min
Mary Stokes was walking through Dead Man's Copse one evening when she saw, in the beam of a torch, the corpse of a young woman dressed in a black coat, black gloves, no hat and an eternity ring set with diamonds in her ear. But when she and Detective Sergeant Frank Abbott went back to the wood the body had vanished. This would have been mystery enough for Miss Silver to solve if a woman had not also reported that her lodger had gone out on Friday dressed in a black coat, black beret, black shoes and large hoop earrings 'set all round with little diamonds like those eternity rings.' She never came back... ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Diana Bishop. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/adbl/017882/bk_adbl_017882_sample.mp3.

House of Ash , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 541min
After hearing voices among an eerie copse of trees in the woods, 17-year-old Curtis must confront his worst fear: that he has inherited his father's mental illness. A desperate search for answers leads him to discover Gravenhearst, a labyrinth mansion that burned down in 1894. When he locks eyes with a steely Victorian girl in a forgotten mirror, he's sure she's one of the fire's victims. If he can unravel the mystery, he can save his sanity...and possibly the girl who haunts his dreams. But more than 100 years in the past, the girl in the mirror is fighting her own battles. When her mother disappears and her sinister stepfather reveals his true intentions, Mila and her sister fight to escape Gravenhearst and unravel the house's secrets - before it devours them both. ungekürzt.

A Guide to British Farmland Birds , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 63min
Join Brett Westwood and Stephen Moss in this absorbing guide to the sounds of our most popular farmland birds, as heard on BBC Radio 4. In the fifth of our series of bird guides, Brett Westwood is joined once again by enthusiastic birdwatcher Stephen Moss, and with the help of recordings made by wildlife sound recordist Chris Watson they present this knowledgeable and entertaining guide to the songs, calls and cries of the birds you may see and hear around Britain’s farmlands. Packed with useful information and handy tips, each programme focuses on a different habitat, starting with arable fields and birds such as Skylark, Grey Partridge and Lapwing; then winter pasture and birds including Fieldfare and Golden Plover; hedgerow (Yellowhammer and Turtle Dove), copse (Pheasant and Little Owl), and farmyard (Jackdaw and Swallow.) Their advice on how to recognise birds visually and how to identify them by their sounds will soon enable you to sort out your House Sparrow from your Tree Sparrow, and will appeal to both budding ornithologists and experienced birdwatchers, as well as walkers and ramblers who are curious about the birds they encounter while out and about in the countryside. ungekürzt.

Elmet , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 458min
Shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize 2017 An atmospheric and thrilling debut set in Yorkshire - perfect for fans of The Loney and The Essex Serpent. Fresh and distinctive writing from an exciting new voice in fiction, Elmet is an unforgettable novel about family as well as a beautiful meditation on landscape. Daniel is heading north. He is looking for someone. The simplicity of his early life with Daddy and Cathy has turned sour and fearful. They lived apart in the house that Daddy built for them with his bare hands. They foraged and hunted. When they were younger, Daniel and Cathy had gone to school. But they were not like the other children then, and they were even less like them now. Sometimes Daddy disappeared and would return with a rage in his eyes. But when he was at home, he was at peace. He told them that the little copse in Elmet was theirs alone. But that wasn't true. Local men, greedy and watchful, began to circle like vultures. All the while, the terrible violence in Daddy grew. Atmospheric and unsettling, Elmet is a lyrical commentary on contemporary society and one family's precarious place in it as well as an exploration of how deep the bond between father and child can go. ungekürzt.

The Haunting of Perry Property , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 98min
In 1970 Houndsvillle, Virginia, the charismatic Victor Perry had quite an impressive following of his insidious cult, and their deceptively unchristian gatherings grew in number in that historic little clapboard church. Except that Victor was not the celibate, "Righteous Warrior" leader the cult members believed him to be. One too many of the attractive young lady "indoctrines" became with child under him, and Victor's executed punishment for this sin was sacrificial death. But the leader had fallen in love with this one. And then came the cleansing at the hands of the Maura Community Church members. The 120-year-old little church was razed to wipe out the evil that was committed on that hallowed ground. Amberley Simmons, successfully fostered but never adopted, is now 20 and pregnant. Abandoned and without support, with only the small but distinctive silver cross on a thin sterling chain that she had started off her life with, Amberley successfully adults up. She secures a good job and a heaven-sent cottage set in a natural copse. As Amberley's confinement draws to an end, the house makes sure of a familial reunion. A night of terror, confusion, and indescribable pain leads to a file of revelations, and yet another abandonment. Fate has an unconventional family situation lined up for Amberley and her newborn. Can mom and baby pull off this cross-dimensional relationship? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Patricia Oliszynski.

The Burning of Atlanta in 1864: The History of One of the Civil War's Most Controversial Events , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 73min
We rode out of Atlanta by the Decatur road, filled by the marching troops and wagons of the Fourteenth Corps; and reaching the hill, just outside of the old rebel works, we naturally paused to look back upon the scenes of our past battles. We stood upon the very ground whereon was fought the bloody battle of July 22d, and could see the copse of wood where McPherson fell. Behind us lay Atlanta, smouldering and in ruins, the black smoke rising high in air, and hanging like a pall over the ruined city. (William Tecumseh Sherman) William Tecumseh Sherman has earned fame and infamy for being the one to bring total war to the South, and it started at Atlanta. Once his men entered the city, Sherman ordered the 1,600 citizens remaining in Atlanta to evacuate as he, in Grant's words, set out to "destroy [Atlanta] so far as to render it worthless for military purposes," with Sherman himself remaining a day longer to supervise the destruction himself "and see that it was well done." Then, on November 14, 1864, Sherman abandoned the ravaged city, taking with him 13,000 mules and horses and all the supplies the animals could carry. One of the most famous movies of all time, Gone with the Wind, depicts the burning of Atlanta after Sherman occupied it in 1864. Over time history came to view Sherman as a harbinger of total war, and in the South Sherman is still viewed as a brutal warmonger. Considerable parts of Atlanta and Columbia did burn when Sherman occupied them in 1864 and 1865, respectively, but how responsible was Sherman for the initial fires? To this day, there is no definitive answer. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Michael Piotrasch. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/037172/bk_acx0_037172_sample.mp3.

On The Echoing Green

Shoegazer - Gitarren, Ambient-Drones, Drummaschinen, Synthie-Schlieren, atmosphärisch, deep. On the Echoing Green is an elegant work of lush, shimmering sound, rendered with a singular touch by eternal electric romantic Jefre Cantu-Ledesma. In contrast to the haze and hermetic process of previous albums, Green was conceived as a deliberate experiment in clarity and collaboration: I was interested in trying to bring out more overt pop elements, to let them come to the front and be present. I also have more trust now in letting things happen trusting other people s musicianship, and being open to people s ideas. Eventually, things emerge. What emerged from this bond are eight rapturous and richly melodic slow dives of swirling guitar, bass, synthesizer, piano, and drum machines, dramatically accented in places by heavenly arcs of voice courtesy of Argentinian singer-songwriter Sobrenadar. Cantu-Ledesma encouraged chemistry and intuition in the studio by beginning the album without any demos for reference, he and his collaborators pursued patterns and hypnotic textures across long-form improvisations until gradually songs began to take shape. This is music of growth and grandeur, of ascent and exploration, played with purpose and passion by a craftsman in tune with the beauty of sound and the harmony of light. In his words: This album feels like spring things coming alive, blooming, emerging from winter. TRACKS: 1. In A Copse 2. A Song Of Summer 3. Echoing Green 4. The Faun 5. Tenderness 6. Vulgar Latin 7.

Dialogue Between Feminine Wisdom & Masculine Uncer
Sometime collaborator with Tara Jane O'Neil, The Naysayer, and The Double U -- and sticksman with San Fran pop insurgents Fuck -- Geoff Soule is also a solo noise connoisseur whose current work is a laconic frolic amid daily minutiae and universal concerns, underpinned by improvised arias, miniature wig-outs and Spartan psalms. - Plan B Magazine A charmingly minimalist collection of hauntingly beautiful little ditties -- willfully veering between contemplatively stark folk and odd little jazzy improvisations. Singer-songwriters can be interesting. - The Leeds Guide ... dark as a woodland copse, but liberally spotted with patches of sunlight. ... jazzy melancholia at it's most quirkily American. The songs are minimal constructions of sweet melodies, simple rhymes with a solid folk heart. So even if the title leads you to expect a pretentious concept album, the bare boned guitar, piano and string inevitably draw you in - and soon disabuse you of any idea that this pretty record means anything but business. - Bearded Magazine.- Shop: odax
