    The Painter of Battles: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 486min
    Acclaimed author Arturo Perez-Reverte has earned a distinguished reputation as a master of the literary thriller. Now, he gives us his most accomplished novel to date. Andres Faulques, a world-renowned war photographer, has retired to a life of solitude on the Spanish coast. He spends his days painting a huge mural that pays homage to history's classic works of war art and that incorporates a lifetime of disturbing images. One night, an unexpected visitor arrives at Faulques' door and challenges the painter to remember him. As Faulques struggles to recall the face, the man explains that he was the subject of an iconic photo taken by Faulques in a war zone years ago. "And why have you come looking for me?" asks Faulques. The stranger answers, "Because I'm going to kill you." This story transports Faulques to the time when he crossed continents to capture conflicts on film with his lover, Olvido, at his side. Until she walked into his life, Faulques muses, he had believed he would survive both war and women. As the tense dialogue between Faulques and his visitor continues, the stakes grow ever higher. What they are grappling with quickly proves to be not just Faulques' fate but the very nature of human love and cruelty itself, in this stunning composition on morality. Superb and tautly written, The Painter of Battles is a deeply affecting audiobook about life and art. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Simon Vance.

    Das Los, das man zieht
    Im Mai 1937 erhält Falcó einen neuen Auftrag: nach Paris reisen, Picassos Vertrauen gewinnen, dabei die Fertigstellung seines bedeutendsten Bildes sabotieren. Eine gefährliche Mission. Denn in Paris sind die, die weltvergessen feiern, die Künstler, Sammler, Tänzerinnen, nicht zu unterscheiden von denen, die bereit sind, für ihre Überzeugungen zu sterben ... Im großen Finale seiner Spionagetrilogie erzählt Arturo Pérez-Reverte meisterhaft vom Einsturz der alten Welt, von Helden und Agenten und von ihrem erbitterten Kampf am Vorabend der großen Katastrophe.Über einen Mittelsmann wird Falcó in Paris eingeführt, als vermögender Sammler bei einem Abendessen. Sein Gegenüber, Leo Bayard, seines Zeichens Intellektueller, berühmter Kampfpilot und glühender Kommunist, hofft auf finanzielle Unterstützung seines Propagandafilms und verschafft Falcó Zugang. Zu den Galerien, zu den Ausschweifungen in Bars und Varietés, zum Atelier des großen Picasso und zum Gemälde Guernica. Wären da nur nicht die hübsche Frau an Bayards Seite, die Störfeuer von Stalins Agenten und die grobschlächtigen französischen Faschisten, die Falcós Pläne immer wieder durchkreuzen ... Packende Spionageunterhaltung eines brillanten Erzählers.

    Captain Alatriste , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 408min
    Captain Alatriste is the story of a fictional 17th-century Spanish soldier who, after being wounded in battle during the Thirty Years' War, is forced to retire from the army. Now he lives the comparatively tame, though hardly quiet, life of a swordsman-for-hire in Madrid. Approached with an offer of work, Alatriste is told to go with another hired blade to an unfamiliar part of the city at midnight and wait. They are received by men who explain that they want Alatriste and his companion to ambush two travelers the following evening, stage a robbery, and give the men a fright. "No blood," they are told. But then a third figure enters the room. He says the job requires some clarification: he increases the pay, and tells them that, instead, they must murder the two travelers. Then he reveals his identity: Emilio Bocanegra. It is a name synonymous with the Spanish Inquisition, the bloodiest name in Europe. This is a man whose requests cannot be denied. But the following night, with the attack imminent, it becomes clear to Alatriste that these aren't ordinary travelers. And what happens next is only the first in a series of riveting twists and turns, with implications that will reverberate throughout the courts of Europe. For anyone who loves the work of Arturo Pérez-Reverte, and those who have not yet discovered the delights of this extraordinary writer, Captain Alatriste is one of the most stylish, singular pleasures to come along in years. ungekürzt.

    The Queen of the South , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1048min
    Few authors inspire the kind of passion that Arturo Pérez-Reverte does. Reviewers, readers, and booksellers alike have embraced his fiction as the perfect blend of suspense and literary ambition. A global best seller, he is one of the most admired and widely read authors in the world. And his stunning new novel is his best yet. A remarkable tale, The Queen of the South spans continents, from the dusty streets of Mexico to the sparkling waters off the coast of Morocco, to Spain and the Strait of Gibraltar. A sweeping story set to the irresistible beat of the drug smugglers' ballads, it encompasses sensuality and cruelty, love and betrayal, as its heroine's story unfolds. Teresa Mendoza's boyfriend is a drug smuggler who the narcos of Sinaloa, Mexico, call "the king of the short runway", because he can get a plane full of coke off the ground in 300 yards. But in a ruthless business, life can be short, and Teresa even has a special cell phone that Guero gave her along with a dark warning. If that phone rings, it means he's dead, and she'd better run, because they're coming for her next. Then the call comes. In order to survive, she will have to say goodbye to the old Teresa, an innocent girl who once entrusted her life to a drug smuggler. She will have to find inside herself a woman who is tough enough to inhabit a world as ugly and dangerous as that of the narcos, a woman she never before knew existed. Indeed, the woman who emerges will surprise even those who know her legend, that of the Queen of the South. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Lina Patel.

    American Prison: A Reporter's Undercover Journey into the Business of Punishment , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 625min
    An enraging, necessary look at the private prison system, and a convincing clarion call for prison reform.” (NPR.org)New York Times Book Review 10 Best Books of 2018One of President Barack Obama’s favorite books of 2018 Winner of the 2019 J. Anthony Lukas Book Prize Winner of the Helen Bernstein Book Award for Excellence in JournalismWinner of the 2019 RFK Book and Journalism Award A New York Times Notable BookA groundbreaking and brave inside reckoning with the nexus of prison and profit in America in one Louisiana prison and over the course of our country's history. In 2014, Shane Bauer was hired for nine dollars an hour to work as an entry-level prison guard at a private prison in Winnfield, Louisiana. An award-winning investigative journalist, he used his real name; there was no meaningful background check. Four months later, his employment came to an abrupt end. But he had seen enough, and in short order he wrote an exposé about his experiences that won a National Magazine Award and became the most-read feature in the history of the magazine Mother Jones. Still, there was much more that he needed to say. In American Prison, Bauer weaves a much deeper reckoning with his experiences together with a thoroughly researched history of for-profit prisons in America from their origins in the decades before the Civil War. For, as he soon realized, we can't understand the cruelty of our current system and its place in the larger story of mass incarceration without understanding where it came from. Private prisons became entrenched in the South as part of a systemic effort to keep the African-American labor force in place in the aftermath of slavery, and the echoes of these shameful origins are with us still.  The private prison system is deliberately unaccountable to public scrutiny.

El asedio es la novela más enigmática de Arturo Pérez-Reverte Cádiz, 1811. España lucha por su independencia mientras América lo hace por la suya. En las calles de la ciudad más liberal de Europa se libran batallas de otra índole. Mujeres jóvenes aparecen desolladas a latigazos. En cada lugar, antes del hallazgo del cadáver, ha caído una bomba francesa. Eso traza sobre la ciudad un mapa superpuesto y siniestro: un complejo tablero de ajedrez donde la mano de un jugador oculto -un asesino despiadado, el azar, las curvas de artillería, la dirección de los vientos, el cálculo de probabilidades- mueve piezas que deciden el destino de los protagonistas: un policía corrupto y brutal, la heredera de una importante casa comercial gaditana, un capitán corsario de pocos escrúpulos, un taxidermista misántropo y espía, un enternecedor guerrillero de las salinas y un excéntrico artillero a quien las guerras importan menos que resolver el problema técnico del corto alcance de sus obuses. El asedio narra el pulso asombroso de un mundo que pudo ser y no fue. El fin de una época y unos personajes condenados por la Historia, sentenciados a un vida que, como la ciudad que los alberga -una Cádiz equívoca, enigmática, solo en apariencia luminosa y blanca-, nunca volverá a ser la misma.

Far from being confined solely to the institutions and professional money managers, options trading is now mainstream for retail" traders from all walks of life.  The concept of options is still, however, treated with fear and trepidation in some quarters. When I first embarked upon serious trading, a friend warned me about what I was getting into, but trading can be as safe as you want it to be.  The simple fact is you need to have a trading plan that works. It needs to keep your risk low and your potential for reward high. You need your plan to have structure and simplicity so you can follow it every time.  Over the years, my trading plan has become progressively simpler. To make it as a trader, it helps to develop the following traits in this audiobook, and they can all be developed.  Why options trading?  The main reason for trading options is that for a smaller amount of money, you can control a large amount of stock, particularly with call options. Call options are always cheaper than the underlying asset and put options usually are.  Options are generally more volatile than their underlying instruments; therefore, investors get "more bang for their buck", or more action. Clearly, this can lead to danger, but as you'll see, it also can lead to more safely and security. You'll also see that it can mean much greater flexibility in your trading and even give you the ability to make profit when you don't know the direction in which the stock will move.  Here is a preview of what you'll learn: What is options trading?  The basics of options trading  Types of options  How to manage risk and the various option strategies  How to choose currency options  The leverage inherent in options  The fundamentals of put and call option ungekürzt.
