    Murphy , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 411min
    'The sun shone, having no alternative, on the nothing new.' So opens Murphy, Samuel Beckett's first novel, published in 1938. Its work-shy eponymous hero, adrift in London, realises that desire can never be satisfied and withdraws from life, in search of stupor. Murphy's lovestruck fiancée, Celia, tries with tragic pathos to draw him back, but her attempts are doomed to failure. In Dublin, Murphy's friends and familiars are simulacra of him, fragmented and incomplete. They come to London in search of him. Under pressure from Celia to get a job, Murphy finds a post as a nurse in a mental institution, Magdalen Mental Mercyseat. Beckett's achievement in this early work lies in the brilliantly original language used to communicate his singular vision of isolation and misunderstanding. The combination of particularity and absurdity gives Murphy's world its painful definition, but the sheer comic energy of Beckett's prose releases characters and listeners alike into exuberance. It is read with verve and familiarity by Stephen Hogan. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Stephen Hogan. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/dhrm/000036/bk_dhrm_000036_sample.mp3.

    Matt Stevens is finished with life. Grieving the death of his son, Matt withdraws from humanity, sequestering himself in a mountain cabin far from the reaches of anything human; anything that may remind him of the life he can no longer have. That is, until Kate Alexander arrives on his doorstep and begins to strip away the bitterness he carries in his heart. Running from an abusive ex-husband who tried to murder her, Kate Alexander's life is turned upside down. Learning of the death of her grandmother, the only woman who ever believed in her, is almost Kate's complete undoing, especially when the devastating news comes from a man so lacking in human emotion he may as well be a robot. Yet Kate is drawn to Matt Stevens in a way she never before experienced. Could there be more to this unlikely friend of her grandmother's - something beyond the cold surface he presents to the world? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Teri Wilder.
