    King Coal: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 731min
    Well known for The Jungle, his scathing exposé of the Chicago meatpacking industry at the turn of the 20th century, Upton Sinclair here takes on yet another massive industry: coal mining. Based on the 1914 and 1915 Colorado coal strikes, King Coal describes the abhorrent conditions faced by workers in the western United States' coal mining industry during the 1910s. The story follows Hal Warner, a rich man looking to get a better view of the lives of commoners. It is a tale of struggle, threats, and violence, of hardened men and the advocacy for workers' rights. In this business, the road to unionization is a rocky one. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Grover Gardner. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/blak/006842/bk_blak_006842_sample.mp3.

    Odd Jobs , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 557min

    Courage to Stand: An American Story , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 535min
    Long before he was considered a top prospective presidential candidate for 2012 - even before he landed on John McCain's shortlist of potential running mates in 2008 - Governor Tim Pawlenty had already earned legendary status in conservative circles. In his hard-left-leaning home state of Minnesota, the man known as "T-Paw" somehow erased a $4.8-billion budget deficit while simultaneously reforming health care, creating jobs, improving education, and supporting renewable energy reform - all without raising taxes. In Courage to Stand, Pawlenty reveals for the first time how he found the resolve to get the job done, taking listeners all the way back to the lessons he learned as a boy in the gritty meatpacking town of South St. Paul. From the devastating early death of his mother to the struggle to work his way through college and law school and his epic political battles as governor, Pawlenty opens up about his deepest beliefs and shares his vision for a better America. ungekürzt.

    The Jungle: A Signature Performance by Casey Affleck , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 841min
    Upton Sinclair's The Jungle is a visceral and tragic story of immigrants trying to scratch out a living in the meatpacking plants of Chicago. The resulting public outcry led directly to the US government enacting changes in food and workplace safety practices still in place today.With food production, business ethics, and immigration back in the news, Academy Award nominee Casey Affleck (Gone Baby Gone) taps into the emotion behind these issues to breathe life back into the struggling inhabitants of Packingtown. Affleck, a committed vegan and animal rights spokesman, delivers a moving performance that connects with the book’s enduring legacy.The Jungle revolves around the life and family of Jurgis Rudkus, a Lithuanian immigrant whose dreams of a better life are crushed by punishing work in gruesome stockyards and an unforgiving city. Brilliantly written and vividly described, it provides a poignant and incredibly detailed snapshot of a striking point in American history. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Casey Affleck.

    A Cottonwood Stand: A Novel of Nebraska , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 372min
    Nebraska: not just a place on a map. It has a heart, and it has a voice. It has a then. It has a now. Several centuries ago, a young Sioux woman called Lark rebels against her people's traditions and crosses the plains to save her adopted sister from a bad marriage proposal and return the girl to the Pawnee village from which she was abducted in childhood. At the end of her journey, Lark finds herself the center of a mysterious Pawnee ritual that undermines her plan as well as her confidence. In this century, Janet Hinderson runs a small-town newspaper and crusades against a proposed meatpacking plant that will destroy the fabric of the town, along with its landmark stand of cottonwoods. But Janet's hard and soft sides must grapple when the meat company's general counsel comes to town and reveals some cryptic interest in her. These are not two stories. They are connected, told and wound into one - each exploring social issues and themes that are vital and timeless. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Michael Butler Murray.
