44 Scotland Street: 44 Scotland Street, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 756min
The story revolves around the comings and goings at No. 44 Scotland Street, a fictitious building in a real street in Edinburgh. Immediately recognisable are the Edinburgh chartered surveyor, stalwart of the Conservative Association, who dreams of membership of Scotland's most exclusive golf club. We have the pushy Stockbridge mother, and her prodigiously talented five-year-old son, who is making good progress with the saxophone and with his Italian. Then there is Domenica Macdonald who is that type of Edinburgh lady who sees herself as a citizen of a broader intellectual world. In McCall Smith's hands such characters retain charm and novelty, simultaneously arousing both mirth and empathy. 44 Scotland Street is vintage McCall Smith, tackling issues of trust and honesty, snobbery and hypocrisy, love and loss, but all with great lightness of touch. Clever, elegant and funny, this is a novel that provides huge entertainment but which is underpinned by the moral dilemmas of everyday life and the characters' struggles to resolve them. ungekürzt.

The Jungle: A Signature Performance by Casey Affleck , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 841min

Playing in the Light: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 573min
By the Windham Campbell Prize winner. Set in a beautifully rendered 1990s Cape Town, Zoë Wicomb’s celebrated novel revolves around Marion Campbell, who runs a travel agency but hates traveling, and who, in post-apartheid society, must negotiate the complexities of a knotty relationship with Brenda, her first black employee. As Alison McCulloch noted in the New York Times, "Wicomb deftly explores the ghastly soup of racism in all its unglory denial, tradition, habit, stupidity, fear and manages to do so without moralizing or becoming formulaic." Caught in the narrow world of private interests and self-advancement, Marion eschews national politics until the Truth and Reconciliation Commission throws up information that brings into question not only her family’s past but her identity and her rightful place in contemporary South African society. "Stylistically nuanced and psychologically astute" (Kirkus), Playing in the Light is as powerful in its depiction of Marion's personal journey as it is in its depiction of South Africa's bizarre, brutal history. ungekürzt.

Creativity Tricks , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 44min
Being creative is not something people are born with. It is something that can be developed over time. Creativity is more about being open to fresh opportunities with an open mind, of doing the same things but differently. Most people look at creativity as something that revolves around artistic jobs like painting, writing, composing music, and more. Even though all these endeavors are creative, creativity is not limited to only these tasks. There are many ways to be creative, whether you are at home, workplace, or pursuing your studies. There are many jobs out there that require creative thinking, together with high positions in the worlds of business and science. In simple terms, creativity means coming up with something new. It is the very characterization of "thinking out of the box". Every so often, creativity in this sense includes what is called lateral thinking, or the aptitude of identifying patterns that are not apparent. ungekürzt. Language: English.
