    The London Nobody Knows , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 13min
    Geoffrey Fletcher's London was not the big landmarks, but rather 'the tawdry, extravagant and eccentric'. He wrote about parts of the city no-one ever had before. This could be an art nouveau pub, a Victorian music hall, a Hawksmoor church or even a public toilet in Holborn in which the attendant kept goldfish in the cisterns. He was drawn to the corners of the city where 'the kids swarm like ants and there are dogs everywhere'.This classic book was originally published in 1962 and has been in and out of print ever since. In 1967 it was turned into an acclaimed documentary film starring James Mason. Following a series of sold out screenings at the Barbican and the ICA, the film was re-released on DVD in 2008. This book is a must-have for anyone with an interest in London, and will surprise even those who think they know it well. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Dan Cruickshank.

    The only thing bigger than Carrie Hope Fletcher's hair is her heart. Eternally upbeat, this 22-year-old dynamo has sung her way to fame, both as Eponine in the London cast of Les Mis and on her wildly popular YouTube channel, It's Way Past My Bedtime. But here's her not-so-secret: This rising star was once a high school misfit. Carrie's youthful fans come to YouTube to hear her talk music, books, and whatever comes to mind! But when they write to her, they want advice most of all. In All I Know Now, Carrie tackles every tough topic, from how to apologize ("Don't make excuses, but do explain.") to how to handle bullies ("Punch them in the face. Kidding! Kidding!") Carrie grew up just one step ahead of her teen and tween fans. She can remember her own awkward phase (all too well!), so she never lectures her audience; she confides in them. Thanks to Carrie's personal touch, this generous guide to growing up is as one-of-a-kind as its author! ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Carrie Hope Fletcher.

    Big Brother: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 781min
    From the acclaimed author of the National Book Award finalist So Much for That and the international best seller We Need to Talk About Kevin comes a striking new novel about siblings, marriage, and obesity. When Pandora picks up her older brother Edison at her local Iowa airport, she literally doesn't recognize him. In the four years since the siblings last saw each other, the once slim, hip New York jazz pianist has gained hundreds of pounds. What happened? And it's not just the weight. Imposing himself on Pandora's world, Edison breaks her husband Fletcher's handcrafted furniture, makes overkill breakfasts for the family, and entices her stepson not only to forgo college but to drop out of high school. After the brother-in-law has more than overstayed his welcome, Fletcher delivers his wife an ultimatum: It's him or me. Putting her marriage and adopted family on the line, Pandora chooses her brother - who, without her support in losing weight, will surely eat himself into an early grave. Rich with Shriver's distinctive wit and ferocious energy, Big Brother is about fat - an issue both social and excruciatingly personal. It asks just how much we'll sacrifice to rescue single members of our families, and whether it's ever possible to save loved ones from themselves. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Alice Rosengard. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/harp/003457/bk_harp_003457_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.
