    The Dinner , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 531min
    A summer's evening in Amsterdam and two couples meet at a fashionable restaurant. Between mouthfuls of food and over the polite scrapings of cutlery, the conversation remains a gentle hum of polite discourse - the banality of work, the triviality of holidays. But behind the empty words, terrible things need to be said, and with every forced smile and every new course, the knives are being sharpened. Each couple has a fifteen-year-old son. The two boys are united by their accountability for a single horrific act; an act that has triggered a police investigation and shattered the comfortable insulated worlds of their families. As the dinner reaches its culinary climax, the conversation finally touches on their children, and as civility and friendship disintegrates, each couple show just how far they are prepared to go to protect those they love. ungekürzt.

    Flash Black , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 363min
    The author of Black Tie and Tales and Black in the Saddle Again, both winners of the Stephen Leacock Medal for Humor, returns with a new collection guaranteed to tickle your funny bone and make you scratch your head at the absurdities of life in the early years of the new millennium. In slyly ironic, pointedly witty essays, Black takes aim at the vagaries of the English language, the moribund political correctness movement, and a host of rural and urban eccentrics. In fact, there's not much that Black won't write about, be it the banality of bumper stickers, the ingenuity of crows, or such everyday subjects as outhouses, hammocks and blue jeans. So sit down, settle back and loosen your belt to leave room for a belly laugh or three. Flash Black is witty, weird, one hundred percent Canadian and guaranteed to delight. ungekürzt.

    The Gray Zones: The World vs. Eichmann , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 88min
    This recreation of the Adolf Eichmann's trial in Jerusalem is a thorough review of all the issues that appear and will keep appearing as long the human kinds exists: The nature of National Socialism The banality of evil executed from the desk of a bureaucrat who kills only by shuffling papers and setting train schedules The boundaries for due obedience The passivity of the Jewish people The indifference of the Allied forces and the Catholic Church The complicity of the directors of the Jewish associations The legacy that enabled later the foundation of the Jewish State The Nazi regime and the Jewish Holocaust are historical events we try to understand knowing that we will never succeed. How could all this happen? Would the Jewish State have been created without Hitler, without Nazis, and without the Holocaust? Is this the price the Jews had to pay in order to have a state? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kay Webster. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/070675/bk_acx0_070675_sample.mp3.

    Hitler's Children: Sons and Daughters of Third Reich Leaders , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 528min
    Göring. Hess. Mengele. Dönitz. Names that conjure up dark memories of Nazi Germany and the Holocaust. They were the architects of the Third Reich. And they were fathers. Gerald Posner convinced 11 sons and daughters of Hitler's inner circle to break their silence. This second generation of perpetrators in Hitler's Children struggle with their Third Reich inheritance. In grappling with memories of good and loving fathers who were later charged with war crimes, these heirs to the Nazi legacy add a fresh and important perspective to understanding the complexity of what historian, Hannah Arendt, dubbed "the banality of evil". Hitler's Children is much more, however, than a series of startling family interviews. It is also a spellbinding insider's look at some of the men whose names have become synonymous with terror. This is a classic book about the second generation of Nazi perpetrators (the only one ever to have family interviews with Hess, Mengele, Donitz, and Göring.) No other book author or documentarian ever got those children to talk again. And Norman Frank, the eldest son of war criminal Hans Frank, also never spoke to anyone but Posner. ungekürzt.

    Ocean State
    When I was in eighth grade my sister helped kill another girl. From the striking opening line of Ocean State, the reader is thrust into the world of the murderer, Angel, and her family, and the victim, Birdy, as they plummet towards a conclusion both tragic and inevitable. Overarching it all is the testimony of Angel's younger sister Marie, who reflects back on the doomed autumn of 2009 with all the wisdom of hindsight. At its heart, the murder is a crime of passion - Angel and Birdy love the same teenage boy, frantically and single mindedly, and are compelled by the intensity of their feelings to extremes neither could have anticipated. O'Nan's expert hand paints a fully realized portrait of these women, but also weaves a compelling story of working-class life in Rhode Island, animating the banality of poverty. Propulsive, moving and deeply rendered, Ocean State is a masterful novel by one of the great storytellers of hard-scrabble America.
