    Candide , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 202min
    Voltaire's Candide is the riotous tale of young Candide, for whom the story is titled, and his misadventures with his Lady Cunegonde and his tutor, Dr. Pangloss. A funny and jovial tale of youth, Candide was originally written in French but has been translated, over the last 250 years, into modern English text. Though Candide is of privilege and fortune, he seems to always find himself in an unlucky position. Voltaire uses these misfortunes to caricature and satire the idealist thought leaders of the time like Leibniz and Pope. Voltaire, conversely, honors the resilience of a positive human spirit, giving it a lasting enthusiastic and encouraging outlook on life. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jeff Moon.

    Brave New World (Dramatized), Hörbuch, Digital, 60min
    The CBS Radio Workshop was an experimental series of productions, subtitled "radio's distinguished series to man's imagination" that ran between 27 January 1956 and 22 September 1957. The premiere production was Brave New World, narrated by Huxley himself, with a complicated sound-effects score that evidently took a long time to construct, and comprised a ticking metronome, tom-tom beats, bubbling water, an air hose, a cow's moo, an oscillator, and three kinds of wine glasses clicking together. There was also a cast of some ten actors. What was most evident about this two-part adaptation, now available on podcast, was the vocal contrasts: between Huxley the narrator, telling the story in a cut-glass marked RP accent interspersed with occasional Americanisms ("diaper" instead of "nappy," for instance); the Controller, who spoke throughout in jovial tones, appropriate for the Brave New World of perpetual happiness; and the Savage, the representative of feeling, emotional humanity - now consigned to a reserve in darkest Mexico - whose tones became increasingly desperate as he understood how mechanized the universe had become. The Brave New World was a topsy-turvy environment, which despised institutions such as marriage and parenthood (any mention of such terms was greeted with scornful laughter), and advocated free love without passion. Everyone belonged to everyone else, and no one needed to think any more. Despite the Director's jovial protestations that this was the best of all possible worlds (shades of Voltaire's Candide), the doom-laden consequences of what had happened were suggested by Bernard Herrman's specially composed score, full of doom-laden chords, and metronome-like chimes played on the tubular bells. The adaptation was announced by the actor William Conrad - who subsequently found fame on television as the corpulent detective Cannon: at the end of the first episode he informed listeners in no uncertain terms about the Language: English. Narrator: Aldous Huxley. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/bnpp/000065/bk_bnpp_000065_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    Der Graben
    Wem kannst du trauen, wenn du dir selbst nicht traust?In diesem Roman zeigt uns Bestsellerautor Herman Koch Amsterdam aus einer ganz neuen Perspektive: aus der seines notorisch eifersüchtigen Bürgermeisters. Und mit ihm blicken wir nicht nur in dessen persönliche Abgründe, sondern auch in die des Politikbetriebs.Bürgermeister Robert Walter ist ein erfolgreicher Mann. Er ist glücklich verheiratet, beliebt, jovial und volksnah. Aber er traut dem Glück nicht. Vielleicht hat Gattin Sylvia ja eine Affäre? Roberts Gedanken kreisen ständig um diese Frage. Jedes noch so kleine Detail im Verhalten seiner Frau und des angeblichen Nebenbuhlers wird manisch begutachtet und interpretiert. Auch sonst läuft es nicht gerade rund für Robert: Seine hochbetagten Eltern kündigen an, trotz guter Gesundheit selbstbestimmt aus dem Leben zu scheiden, eine Journalistin wühlt in Roberts Vergangenheit und fördert Skandalöses zutage.Mit scharfem Blick und bissigem Humor zeichnet Herman Koch das Bild eines Getriebenen, der nicht eher ruht, bis er den Ast, auf dem er sitzt, auch wirklich durchgesägt hat.
