    Martin Chuzzlewit, Hörbuch, Digital, 551min
    The Chuzzlewits are a family divided by money and selfishness; even young Martin, the eponymous hero, is arrogant and self-centered. He offends his grandfather by falling in love with the latter’s ward, Mary, and sets out to make his own fortune in life, traveling as far as America – which produces from Dickens a savage satire on a new world tainted with the vices of the old. Martin’s nature slowly changes through his bitter experience of life and his enduring love for Mary. Martin Chuzzlewit is one of Dickens’ most humorous and satirical novels, and it contains two great comic creations: the hypocrite Pecksniff and the drunken nurse Sarah Gamp. Language: English.

    The Little and the Great Things, Hörbuch, Digital, 5min
    The Little and the Great Things includes a reading of the eponymous prayer followed by beautiful piano music based on an original composition of Frederic Chopin. The piano composition includes Nocturne in G Major, Op. 37 No. 2 - Andantino. The nocturne is painted with Chopin's most ethereal brush, characterised by beautiful sensuousness and luscious soft, rounded tones, and not without a certain degree of languor. Something of the warmer Mediterranean climate gently flows into the composer's pen here, perhaps reflective of Chopin's stay on the island of Majorca. This is an example of Chopin's music acting as an aphrodisiac. Performed by Anton Kingsbury. Language: English. Narrator: Josh Verbae.

    Deep Compassion, Hörbuch, Digital, 4min
    Deep Compassion includes a reading of the eponymous prayer followed by beautiful piano music based on an original composition of Frederic Chopin. The piano composition includes Nocturne in A-flat Major, Op. 32 No. 2 - Lento. A long, gracious melody with a balletic middle section characterises this nocturne. It is a beautiful work of dreamy melody and majestic harmony. Simplicity of gesture is of the utmost importance throughout the opening section, followed by a stormier, more chromatic middle section. Chopin's minimalist gestures in the beginning elope into the generous, expanding atmosphere of the nocturne's centre. Chopin dedicated this piece to Madame la Baronne de Billing. Performed by Anton Kingsbury. Language: English. Narrator: Josh Verbae. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/mxbo/000241/bk_mxbo_000241_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    Mister N (eBook, ePUB)
    Modern-day Beirut is seen through the eyes of a failed writer, the eponymous Mister N. He has left his comfortable apartment and checked himself into a hotel - he thinks. Certainly, they take good care of him there. Meanwhile, on the streets below, a grim pageant: poverty, violence and fear.How is anyone supposed to write deathless prose in such circumstances? Let alone an old man like Mister N., whose life and memories have become scattered, whose family regards him as an embarrassment, and whose next-door neighbours torment him with their noise, dinner invitations, and inconvenient suicides. Comical and tragic by turns, his misadventures climax in the arrival in what Mister N. had supposed to be his 'real life' of a character from one of his early novels - a vicious militiaman. Now, does the old writer need to arm himself . . . or just seek psychiatric help?

    A Prayer of William Penn, Hörbuch, Digital, 5min
    A Prayer of William Penn includes a reading of the eponymous prayer followed by beautiful piano music based on an original composition of Frederic Chopin. The piano composition includes Nocturne in C Minor, Op. 48 No. 1 - Lento. It is an example of progressive music in the classical repertoire of Chopin's nocturne collection. This composition intensifies not through ornamentation but through a new textural background. Like the unfolding of a tale, the middle section is told in an agitated recitando; celestial harps come to bring one ray of hope, which is powerless in its endeavour to calm the wounded soul, which sends forth to heaven a cry of deepest anguish. Performed by Anton Kingsbury. Language: English. Narrator: Josh Verbae. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/mxbo/000243/bk_mxbo_000243_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    Make Us Worthy, Hörbuch, Digital, 4min
    Make Us Worthy includes a reading of the eponymous prayer followed by beautiful piano music based on an original composition of Frederic Chopin. The piano composition includes Nocturne in G Minor, Op. 15 No. 3 - Lento. Chopin was inspired by Hamlet in composing this nocturne. The key features of this piece are the irregularity and unpredictability of the phrasing. It is wistful in its outer sections, with a hymnlike passage at its heart. Chopin attempted to enhance the purity of this passage through careful use of the sustaining pedal. The expected return to the opening, however, is replaced by a new idea, also somewhat modal in character. This nocturne is dedicated to Ferdinand Hiller. Language: English. Narrator: Josh Verbae.

    During his time as an inspector with the Paris Sûreté, Monsieur Pamplemousse had been 'in at the death' on more than one occasion, but even he had to admit that the phrase took on an entirely new meaning when he was present at the spectacular ending to Cuisine de Chavignol, France's premier television cookery programme.
