    Conspiracy of Letters , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 108min
    Nearly 120 years after the Dreyfus Affair, a new secret file has been unearthed - and it upends much of what we knew about the famous case involving the French Jewish officer wrongfully accused of treason. As the file against Dreyfus shows - recently revealed by the French army and excerpted here for the first time in English - the case against Dreyfus was shockingly more complex, involving an affair between two military attachés, a series of forgeries, and an insidious campaign that subtly blended homophobia and anti-Semitism to thwart justice and land an innocent man in jail. Digging into the secret file, Tablet Magazine senior writer Liel Leibovitz offers a vivid new version of this seminal historical narrative, recasting the affair as a detective story set against the backdrop of beautifully decadent Belle epoque Paris. And helping to solve the crime here is an unexpected sleuth: Marcel Proust, a dedicated chronicler of the affair who, despite having never seen the secret allegations against Dreyfus, intuited them and incorporated them into his masterpiece of a novel. Conspiracy of Letters is a short and evocative story of history, literature, prejudice, and the way they often shape and inform each other. Liel Leibovitz is a senior writer for Tablet Magazine and the author or co-author of five books, including the upcoming A Broken Hallelujah: Rock and Roll, Redemption, and the Life of Leonard Cohen, which will be published by W.W. Norton in April of 2014. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Robert Blumenfeld. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/adbl/018351/bk_adbl_018351_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    So Long at the Fair: The Reverend Bernard Paltoquet Mystery Series, Book 5 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 608min
    The fifth novel in the Reverend Paltoquet series focuses on a miscarriage of justice back in the 1890s and how it shaped lives and events that followed. Just how can a woman keep throwing herself off the top of the big wheel at a South London fair? Two little girls witness a beautiful woman doing just that when they visit the fair back in the 1890s. In the late 1950s she is still falling off the wheel and Dr. Robbie MacTavish is a witness, as is a small boy, Ronnie Fisher, the great nephew of the Reverend Bernard Paltoquet's housekeeper, Mrs. Harper (known affectionately as "Mrs Aitch"). Albert Williams, the plumber who supplies the vicarage with a much-needed new boiler, turns out to be the grandson of Olivia Ayrton-Williams, a woman who was killed when she was pushed off the big wheel in 1895. Hal Grant, Albert's rival for the affections of the lovely Bonita Murray, is the grandson of the man wrongly convicted and hung for Olivia's murder. Bernard and Robbie set about trying to piece together the events of over half a century ago, with the help of the redoubtable Chief Inspector Neverholme. Just who is the woman who keeps falling off the big wheel? It soon becomes clear she was the victim of a vicious murder and that her purpose is to clear the name of the man who was wrongfully hanged for it. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Karl R.
