Madams, Monsieurs, call this narrator many things: a bit of a rotter, maybe; a touch pretentious, perhaps; a sharp dresser...but never naive, never complacent. When it comes to steering clear of the universe's threat to his health, he is, unquestionably, wise beyond his years. Journey with him from Egham to Waterloo as he discovers how to outwit fate with its own rules.Wayne Holloway-Smith lives in Camberwell, England, and is a creative writing student of Brunel University. He co-edits the magazine Lick Clean the Food Bowl, and his poetry has been published in various periodicals. Wayne has a pamphlet of poems forthcoming from Donut Press. His is quite slim.All characters and events in this publication, other than those clearly in the public domain, are fictitious, and any resemblance to real persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental. ungekürzt.

Going too Far , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 927min

You've gone all fat and complacent because you've got your man, haven't you?Polly Penhalligan is outraged at the suggestion that since getting married to Nick and settling into their beautiful manor farmhouse in Cornwall, she has let herself go. But watching a lot of telly and gorging on biscuits, not getting dressed until lunchtime, and waiting for pregnancy to strike are not the signs of someone living an active and fulfilled life. So Polly does something rash.She allows her home to be used as a location for a TV advert. Having a glamorous film crew around will certainly put a bomb under the idyllic, rural life. Only perhaps, she should have consulted Nick first.Because before the cameras have even started to roll - and complete chaos descends on the farm - Polly's marriage has been turned upside down. This time she really has gone too far.... ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Caroline Doughty. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/235847/bk_acx0_235847_sample.mp3.

Spelling It out for Your Man: Insider Secrets to Sex, Love and Attraction , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 279min

Once upon a time in the fairy tales, people risked it all for love and couples lived happily ever after. Then something changed. People became complacent, lazy, even oblivious, and began misinterpreting the most basic forms of communication. Suddenly humans were lost and the most common happily ever after was post-break-up. Yet there was still hope! Based on the consistently repeated mistakes of many, Spelling It out for Your Man offers a candid, funny and non-judgmental view of the exploration of what's really going on in the minds of men and women regarding sex and love, as well as what entices people to attract and stay attracted to one another. Julieanne O"Connor's intention is to inspire people to tap into their own sexuality, to release the need for the illusion of ownership, and to evoke the desire in everyone to open their hearts wider still. ungekürzt.

Babbitt , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 832min

In this sardonic portrait of the up-and-coming middle class during the prosperous 1920s, Sinclair Lewis perfectly captures the sound, the feel, and the attitudes of the generation that created the cult of consumerism. With a sharp eye for detail and keen powers of observation, Lewis tracks successful realtor George Babbitt's daily struggles to rise to the top of his profession while maintaining his reputation as an upstanding family man. On the surface, Babbitt appears to be the quintessential middle-class embodiment of conservative values and enthusiasm for the well-to-do lifestyle of the small entrepreneur. But beneath the complacent façade, he also experiences a rising, nameless discontent. These feelings eventually lead Babbitt into risky escapades that threaten his family and his standing in the community. Though published 80 years ago, this acerbic depiction of majority Americans, obsessed with success, material comfort, and midlife doubt, still rings true. ungekürzt. Language: English.
