Pawn of Prophecy: The Belgariad, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 624min
Long ago, so the Storyteller claimed, the evil god Torak sought dominion and drove men and gods to war. But Belgrath the Sorcerer led men to reclaim the Orb that protected the West. So long as it lay at Riva, the prophecy went, men would be safe. That was only a story, and Garion did not believe in magic dooms, even though the man without a shadow had haunted him for years. Brought up on a quiet farm by his Aunt Pol, how could he know that the Apostate planned to wake dread Torak, or that he would be led on a quest of unparalleled magic and danger by those he loved, but did not truly know. For yet a little while, his dreams of innocence remained safe, untroubled by knowledge of his strange heritage. For a little while... thus begins The Belgariad, an epic fantasy of immense scope set against a history of 7,000 years. It tells of the struggles between ancient gods and mighty Kings, and of men in strange lands facing fated events, all bound by a prophecy that must be fulfilled. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Out of Their Minds , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 397min
A writer finds himself trapped in an isolated village where anything imagined becomes reality in this wildly inventive contemporary fantasy. Hoping to write his book in quiet and seclusion, Horton Smith has returned home to Pilot Knob. Here, in the tiny village where he passed so many carefree childhood years, he is untroubled by the pressures of the big city and can freely answer the call of his muse. Of course, back in the city Horton didn't have to run from dinosaurs. There were no cartoon hillbillies offering him moonshine, Don Quixote was content to confine himself to the pages of a book, and the devil himself was not on Horton's tail. Something very, very unusual is going on in Pilot Knob, and Horton Smith is determined to get to the bottom of it - if his own imagination doesn't kill him first! In Out of Their Minds, science fiction grand master Clifford D. Simak changes gears, treating his listeners to a delightfully satiric flight of fancy and fantasy. An award-winning author renowned for his remarkable visions of the future, Simak brings creatures and characters from humankind's collective imagination to breathtaking life in this fast-moving and unforgettable tale. ungekürzt.

A Knight of the Word , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 694min
A no-holds-barred battle between Good and Evil.... Eight centuries ago, the first Knight of the Word was commissioned to combat the demonic evil of the Void. Now that daunting legacy has passed to John Ross - along with powerful magic and the knowledge that his actions are all that stand between a living hell and humanity's future. Then, after decades of service to the Word, an unspeakable act of violence shatters John Ross' weary faith. Haunted by guilt, he turns his back on his dread gift, settling down to build a normal life, untroubled by demons and nightmares. But a fallen Knight makes a tempting prize for the Void, which could bend the Knight's magic to its own evil ends. And once the demons on Ross' trail track him to Seattle, neither he nor anyone close to him will be safe. His only hope is Nest Freemark, a college student who wields an extraordinary magic all her own. Five years earlier, Ross had aided Nest when the future of humanity rested upon her choice between Word and Void. Now Nest must return the favor. She must restore Ross' faith, or his life - and hers - will be forfeit.... ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Mark Deakins.

Tar Baby, Hörbuch, Digital, 370min
The place is a Caribbean island. In their mansion overlooking the sea, the cultivated millionaire Valerian Street, now retired, and his pretty, younger wife, Margaret, go through rituals of living, as if in a trance. It is the black servant couple, who have been with the Streets for years - the fastidious butler, Sydney, and his strong yet remote wife - who have arranged every detail of their existence to create a surface calm broken only by sudden bursts of verbal sparring between Valerian and his wife. There is a visitor among them: a beautiful young black woman, Jadine, who is not only the servant's dazzling niece, but the protegée and friend of the Streets themselves; Jadine, who has been educated at the Sorbonne at Valerian's expense and is home now for a respite from her Paris world of fashion, film, and art. Through a season of untroubled ease, the lives of these five move with a ritualized grace until, one night, a ragged, starving black American street man breaks into the house. And, in a single moment, with Valerian's perverse decision not to call for help but instead to invite the man to sit with them and eat, everything changes. Valerian moves toward a larger abdication. Margaret's delicate and enduring deception is shattered. The butler and his wife are forced into acknowledging their illusions. And Jadine, who at first is repelled by the intruder, finds herself moving inexorably toward him. He calls himself Son, and he is a kind of black man she has dreaded since childhood: uneducated, violent, contemptuous of her privilege. Once again, Toni Morrison has given us a novel of daring, fascination, and power. Language: English. Narrator: Alfre Woodard.

Just Under the Clouds , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 303min
Can you still have a home if you don't have a house? In the spirit of The Truth About Jellyfish and Fish in a Tree comes a stunning debut about a family struggling to find something lasting when everything feels so fleeting. Always think in threes and you'll never fall, Cora's father told her when she was a little girl. Two feet, one hand. Two hands, one foot. That was all Cora needed to know to climb the trees of Brooklyn. But now Cora is a middle schooler, a big sister, and homeless. Her mother is trying to hold the family together after her father's death, and Cora must look after her sister, Adare, who's just different, their mother insists. Quick to smile, Adare hates wearing shoes, rarely speaks, and appears untroubled by the question Cora can't help but ask: How will she find a place to call home? After their room at the shelter is ransacked, Cora's mother looks to an old friend for help, and Cora finally finds what she has been looking for: Ailanthus altissima, the "tree of heaven", which can grow in even the worst conditions. It sets her on a path to discover a deeper truth about where she really belongs. Just Under the Clouds will take root in your heart and blossom long after you've listened to the last minute.

First Words: Castle Lane Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 73min
What would you do if you found out your dog could talk? That's one of the problems Sam Bates suddenly finds he has to solve. Sam, and his brother, Archie, have a wonderfully calm and untroubled life. Nine-year-old Sam is quiet and thoughtful; some people (his parents and teachers) would say he is "too quiet," "too thoughtful," and that he even lacks confidence. Sam wouldn't agree, because he knows that deep down inside, he is just like his younger brother. Archie is always getting himself (and Sam) into trouble with his loud, funny, and hectic games. He "doesn't stop to think," as his parents and teachers would say, and "rushes in, causing more problems than he can solve." Everything starts to change when Sam has to take care of his aunt's dog. At first, he hates everything about Goldie, especially the way it looks and its silly name. Then, one evening, he discovers the dog has an amazing talent: it can talk...and that's when his problems really begin. Now, Sam has a secret to keep. His loyalties suddenly change, and the friendship he has with his brother changes too. Sam spends more and more time with the dog, and less and less with his brother and his school friends. Sam and Archie argue more than they have ever done in the past, and Sam tries everything possible to make sure he can spend more time with Goldie. When the school holidays arrive, Sam realizes he can secretly talk to Goldie whenever he wants...at least that's his idea. Then, his family steps in with lots of great holiday plans, and Sam finds that making time to be with Goldie is far more difficult than he first thought. Then, to add to Sam's unhappiness, Goldie disappears and the real adventure begins. Now Sam realizes just how much he needs his brother and his school friends once more. ungekürzt. Language: English.
