    A Heart on Hold , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 545min
    War. Devotion. Deceit. Death. How long can a heart hold on before it breaks? Most women would carry on with their lives after being thrust into widowhood, but not Charlotte Adamsland. Upon learning that her husband, Captain Sanderson Redding, was killed in a botched escape from a Confederate prison in Illinois, she clings to his promise to return to her no matter what, and quickly heads north through a war-ravaged country with only her faith in God and her beloved horse to bring her Sanderson home - one way or another. Charlotte's lips only took a moment to find those belonging to her beloved. He tasted faintly of molasses and she was immediately drawn into the warmth of his embrace. Their bodies were perfectly pressed together, fitting as though one had been divinely made for the other, as Sanderson's kisses trailed from Charlotte's lips down her neck. Her hands found his softly stubbled face and guided him back to her lips. With his strong arms around her, she'd never felt more safe. Or more vulnerable… ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Michael and Natasha , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1094min
    He was Grand Duke Michael, handsome brother of Tsar Nicholas II. She was the beautiful twice-divorced daughter of a Moscow lawyer. Their scandalous love affair and their runaway marriage to Vienna in 1912, trailed by the Tsar's secret police, caused uproar in Russia and was the talk of all Europe. Based on hundreds of letters which have long been hidden in the Russian state archive in Moscow and St. Petersburg, as well as on Michael's private diaries held by the Forbes Collection in New York, Michael and Natasha is one of the greatest and most dramatic love stories of this century. It is also a book which sheds significant new light on the downfall of the Romanov dynasty. Michael, proclaimed Emperor on the abdication of his brother in 1917, was arrested three times thereafter and was the first Romanov to be murdered, though Natasha escaped, disguised as a nun. This is a book of immense historical interest, impressively researched; but above all it is a compelling love story set across the background of imperial Russia, of war, and of bloody revolution. ungekürzt.

    The Punch: One Night, Two Lives, and the Fight That Changed Basketball Forever , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 758min
    Tearing open the deepest wound in professional sports, Feinstein uncovers the secrets of the NBA before and after that fateful moment in December of 1977 when the face of professional hoops was changed forever. It was a chilly December evening and the Los Angeles Coliseum was buzzing as the Lakers hosted the Houston Rockets. As two players, Houston's Rudy Tomjanovich and LA's Kermit Washington were warming up, they were unaware their lives were about to be destroyed. The game began and as Tomjanovich trailed a play up the court, a small skirmish broke out between Washington and another Rocket player. Dropping the ball, Tomjanovich approached the tussling men hoping to break up the fight and resume the game. But instead, his face met the powerful fist of Kermit Washington. The punch, so brutal on impact, left most of the bones in Tomjanovich's face broken and spinal fluid leaking from cracked vertebrae. Although he nearly died, Tomjanovich recovered from his injuries. But his game was never the same. After a two month suspension, Washington retook the court but had lost his touch. His snap reaction had irrevocably killed two careers, and the way the NBA played basketball forever. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Richard M. Davidson.

    The Animated Marx Brothers , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 291min
    To many people, the Marx Brothers always seemed cartoonish. Small wonder that film animators plucked their personas from their first appearances in The Cocoanuts (1929) and Animal Crackers (1930) and caricatured them in countless animated appearances in theatrical cartoons. Their animated likenesses have since been wisecracking in television cartoons, direct-to-video movies, fan films, commercials, flip books, avatars, emoji, a slot machine, and two TV pilots so rare they were once thought not to exist. At last, Marx Brothers fans can rejoice. Matthew Hahn's search for every animated appearance of a Marx brother has trailed longer than Groucho's coattails. His discoveries include the backstories of the studios, moviemakers and stars, rare test drawings from the Smithsonian Institution National Portrait Gallery, abandoned projects, connections, coincidences, and apocrypha. Through the reels of Silly Symphonies, Looney Tunes, and Merrie Melodies, to their comic clashes with Heckle & Jeckle, Oswald Rabbit, Krazy Kat, Pooch the Pup, Buddy, Cubby, Willie Whopper, Flip the Frog, and Popeye, journey back through the most detailed analyses ever compiled of animated Marx Brothers appearances. The author also draws from appearances in You Bet Your Life (1950), Quick Draw McGraw (1959), The Simpsons (1989), Tiny Toon Adventures (1990), and Animaniacs (1993), among many others. ungekürzt.

    Ride the Wild Plains: The Western Classic by the Spur Award Winning Writer , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 335min
    FRAMED as a horse thief, Maffitt went through hell to reach Mexico – Then found he'd ridden straight into hell!Nelson Nye, the rancher writer, brings his Spur Award-winning gift for describing the Western landscape with accuracy few others ever achieved, creating fresh new plots, and engaging, identifiable characters, to this unforgettable novel of an innocent man forced to ride the wild plains for his life. It wasn't a journey that anyone would make willingly. But Dale Maffitt had little choice. Wanted for hanging on a trumped-up charge of horse-stealing, trailed by a relentless posse, Maffitt's only hope lay in Mexico. To live, he must ride fast and hard over the scorching Texas plains and beat the posse to the border. Once across, he would be safe from arrest, and the posse would have to turn back. So Dale Maffitt begins a grueling race across one of most merciless, drought stricken patches of Hell in the USA - the Texas barrens - trying to stay one step ahead of the posse. Every mile of the way was a battle with pitiless heat, hunger, thirst, perilous storms, and often the posse itself. What he did not know was that if at last he made it to Mexico, it would only be to discover true Hell had always waited ahead of him - and not behind! ungekürzt. Language: English.

    When the Bluebonnets Come , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 449min
    When I get to heaven, one of the first things I'm gonna ask God is why he only let me figure out so many things later when I could've used 'em earlier, says Katie Shanahan as she remembers growing up in the heart of bluebonnet country near Cotton Patch, Texas. It was a childhood filled with playful animals, sweeping vistas of fragrant wildflowers, salt-of-the-earth people of the land, and a loving daddy who was a preacher and had been a football hero. What her father, Ethan, found when he trailed a rabid dog, however, was the beginning of the end of life as young Katie knew it. Soon, a parade of unwelcome visitors descended upon Cotton Patch, churches were burned, and division came to the Shanahans' own church and even their home. Decades later, Katie remembers watching her father stand up against forces far more powerful than himself and how she learned that courage, loyalty, and honor are more than words - and they sometimes come with a high price. Author John J. Dwyer's Civil War-era historical novels Stonewall and Robert E. Lee have sold tens of thousands of copies. They have built for him a large following of people appreciative of his poignant, gritty, often inspiring style. In When the Bluebonnets Come, Dwyer - a college history professor - turns his focus to a folksy, bittersweet tale of the modern Texas of his birth. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Lara Wells.

    An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge and Other Stories , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 320min
    Before he trailed off into the wilds of Mexico, never to be heard from again, Ambrose Bierce achieved a public persona as "bitter Bierce" and "the devil's lexicographer." He left behind a nasty reputation and more than 90 short stories that are perfect expressions of his sardonic genius. This volume of selected stories represents an unprecedented accomplishment in American literature. In their iconoclasm and needle-sharp irony, their formal and thematic ingenuity and element of surprise, they differ markedly from the fiction admired in Bierce's time. ''An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge,'' the premier title in this collection, is one of the most widely anthologized American short stories and is considered Bierce's best work. First published in 1891 in Bierce's short story collection Tales of Soldiers and Civilians, the story centers on Peyton Farquhar, a southern planter who is about to be hanged by the Union Army for attempting to destroy the railroad bridge at Owl Creek. As Farquhar stands on the bridge with a noose around his neck, Bierce leads the reader to believe that the rope breaks and that Farquhar falls into the water below, only to escape to his farm, where he is reunited with his wife. ''An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" has been lauded as an example of technical brilliance and innovative narration as well as for its examination of such themes as the nature of time and the complexities of human cognition. ungekürzt.
