    Librarian: Lenna's Arc, Volume 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 613min
    Lenna Faircloth thought she was content enough to be junior librarian at one of the grandest libraries on the Continent, so long as at the end of the day she can enjoy a glass (or two) of wine and some decent shut-eye. Reticent and unconcerned with trivial matters, Lenna is almost laughably nonplussed the day her childhood friend, Gilbert, appears at her door, asking her to help smuggle stolen goods across national borders. Librarian is the first part of a young woman's long journey set in an alternate, sparsely-populated world. When unfortunate circumstances leave a bizarre, out-of-place artifact of immense power in the sole custody of Lenna, she is forced to question her own wants, the source of her withdrawal from others, and the curious nature of the Continent's magic - all the while being the target of numerous political factions longing to possess the strange item bound to her by a child's promise. ungekürzt.

    2019: How Modi Won India , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 797min
    On 23 May 2019, when the results of the general elections were announced, Narendra Modi and the BJP-led NDA coalition were voted back to power with an overwhelming majority. To some, the numbers of Modi's victory came as something of a surprise; for others, the BJP's triumph was a vindication of their belief in the government and its policies. Irrespective of one's political standpoint, one thing was beyond dispute: this was a landmark verdict, one that deserved to be reported and analysed with intelligence - and without bias. Rajdeep Sardesai's new book, 2019: How Modi Won India, does just that. What was it that gave Modi an edge over the opposition for the second time in five years? How was the BJP able to trounce its rivals in states that were once Congress bastions? What was the core issue in the election: a development agenda or national pride? As he relives the excitement of the many twists and turns that took place over the last five years, culminating in the 2019 election results, Rajdeep helps the listener make sense of the contours and characteristics of a rapidly changing India, its politics and its newsmakers. If the 2014 elections changed India, 2019 may well have defined what 'new India' is likely to be all about. 2019: How Modi Won India takes a look at that fascinating story, which is still developing. ungekürzt.

    The Meltdown: India Inc's Biggest Implosions , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 403min
    This is a behind-the-scenes look at the spectacular collapse of some of the biggest names in India Inc. The book reveals the real reasons behind the non-payment of loans of over Rs nine lakh crore to the banks by behemoths like Reliance Communications, Videocon, IL&FS and Essay Steel, among others. The authors analyze how funds were illegally diverted from some of the bankrupt companies and why auditors as well as bankers went into sleep mode. Even more baffling was the fact that a few bankers loaned thousands of crores of rupees to these companies based on nothing but project reports by investment bankers hired by the company promoters. And, most shocking of all, some bankers kept giving fresh loans to firms that had been defaulting on their payments. The authors investigate whether sinister machinations took place at the top corporate houses that failed to repay trillions of rupees to Banks. How did some promoters manage to survive the NPA choke, while other promoters were either jailed or fled India? These corporate failures have plunged the entire economy into deep crisis. The aftermath of the meltdown did not even spare the small investors who were deceived by the much-vaunted credit-rating agencies that kept giving the best ratings to companies that were almost bankrupt. The most devastating impact, however, was that thousands of people lost their jobs overnight when these companies shut their operations. The authors analyse what went wrong and the lessons we can learn from India Inc’s biggest implosion. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Rajiv Dadia.

    The making of a writer Ruskin Bond's first full-fledged autobiographical book covers his formative years,' till the age of 21. The world of Anglo-India, with all its conflicting pulls, comes alive as he tells his story. His earliest memoirs are bitter-sweet, and relate to Jamnager where he lives till he is six. The happy hours spent in exploring the Ram Vilas Palace grounds and playing with his younger sister Ellen and the palace children are overshadowed by the acrimonious relationship between his parents. Their estrangement while he is still a child leaves him with a life-long sense of insecurity. His unhappiness is exacerbated by the untimely death of his father - his emotional anchor when the author is just 10. Forced to stay with his mother and his stepfather, both of whom are absorbed in their own worlds, he tries to fend off his loneliness through books and the company of a few friends. Left for the most part to himself, the gentle dreamer realizes very early as 'a pimply adolescent' his calling as a writer. His first book, The Room on the Roof, materializes in England, the land of his forefathers, where he is sent to make a career for himself. Despite the unexpected success of his novel, which wins a major British literary prize, the author's yearning for India is too powerful to let him remain abroad for long. He returns and begins a writing career which has spanned four decades, and earned him a place in the pantheon of great Indian writers. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Rajiv Dadia.

    The Making of Hero: Four Brothers, Two Wheels & a Revolution That Shaped India , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 430min
    From the bylanes of Kamalia and the rugged landscapes of Quetta in India of the 1940s, which later became Pakistan, they escaped to the Partition-ravaged cities of Amritsar, Agra and Delhi and finally settled in Ludhiana with little more than the shirts on their backs. From here, four of the six Munjal brothers built their business, part by part. There was no grand vision of building a world-scale enterprise; their aim was simply to survive and provide for their families. Hero began with trading in and then manufacturing bicycle parts and evolved into bicycles, mopeds, automotive parts, motorcycles and scooters, and today the restructured group also encompasses service businesses and infrastructure. In 1986, 30 years after its inception, Hero Cycles became the largest bicycle maker in the world. In the next 15 years, the motorcycle venture Hero Honda also became the largest in the world, and both pole positions are held firmly even today. This is an authentic 'Make in India' story about overcoming many odds: labyrinthine red tape, tepid economic growth and later, global competition. It follows the lives and times of the four Munjal brothers who lived together and scripted a dramatic revolution on two wheels without any formal education or resources. In parallel, it's also the story of how an agrarian economy like India, with limited means of transportation, took wing on the back of this two-wheel revolution. Driven by family values and Indian ethos, yet wholly contemporary and pioneering in their thinking and best practices, Hero firms today are renowned for putting mutually beneficial relationships at the very core of their business philosophy. The book goes deep inside the 'family spirit' that brought employees, customers, channel partners, suppliers and local communities together to create success, welfare and well-being for millions over the past seven decades. A rare story that proves how a principle-driven organization can create except ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Rajiv Dadia.

    Tritia: The Speckled Planet, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 317min
    When two Tritian youths embark on the three-day voyage to their new home to attend school at the finest Science Institution on their home planet, they witness something profoundly disturbing that pulls them into the middle of an intensely woven plot filled with intrigue, suspense and danger. When A'l, the precocious son of Tritia's brightest physicist, and Pur', the brilliant and beautiful daughter of the planet's finest astronomer, team up to uncover the true purpose of the voyage, and the mysterious transmission to another galaxy, they find much more than they could ever have imagined in this fanciful and provocative adventure story set on a planet 600 million miles from Earth. While the two scholarly teens learn more of their planet's carefully guarded secrets, they also find out more about themselves as they weave their way through the many mysteries involving their planet's political structure, its degenerating atmosphere and the magnificent discovery of a gem-like planet with liquid oceans, actual living vegetation and beautiful cities. In book one of this five part series, we learn much of the similarities between this alien world and Earth. There is a connection between the planets, and the intrinsically similar inhabitants though the reasons remain elusive as bits and pieces of the puzzle begin to fall into place throughout the series. For A'l and Pur' to decipher the truth about their planet, themselves, and the newly discovered Speckled Planet, they must use their vastly superior intellect and highly developed resourcefulness to stay a step ahead of some very powerful duplicitous characters who seem determined to use and deceive them at every turn. Tritia: The Speckled Planet is a true adventure story that highlights both the light and dark sides of people and the forced transition from childhood to adulthood under stressful and menacing conditions. The Speckled Planet is the first of a five-book series. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Anisha Dadia. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/028933/bk_acx0_028933_sample.mp3.
