    Agatha Raisin: The Witches' Tree: Agatha Raisin, Book 28 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 393min
    Cotswolds inhabitants are used to inclement weather, but the night sky is especially foggy as Rory and Molly Devere, the new vicar and his wife, drive slowly home from a dinner party in their village of Sumpton Harcourt. They strain to see the road ahead - and then suddenly brake, screeching to a halt. Right in front of them, aglow in the headlights, a body hangs from a gnarled tree at the edge of town. Margaret Darby, an elderly spinster, has been murdered - and the villagers are bewildered as to who would commit such a crime. Agatha Raisin rises to the occasion (a little glad for the excitement, to tell the truth, after a long run of lost cats and divorces on the books). But Sumpton Harcourt is a small and private village, she finds - a place that poses more questions than answers. And when two more murders follow the first, Agatha begins to fear for her reputation - and even her life. That the village has its own coven of witches certainly doesn't make her feel any better....

    The Voyage of the Slave Ship Hare: A Journey into Captivity from Sierra Leone to South Carolina , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 495min
    From 1754 to 1755, the slave ship Hare completed a journey from Newport, Rhode Island, to Sierra Leone and back to the United States - a journey that transformed more than 70 Africans into commodities, condemning some to death and the rest to a life of bondage in North America. In this engaging narrative, Sean Kelley painstakingly reconstructs this tumultuous voyage, detailing everything from the identities of the captain and crew to their wild encounters with inclement weather, slave traders, and near-mutiny. But most importantly, Kelley tracks the cohort of slaves aboard the Hare from their purchase in Africa to their sale in South Carolina. In tracing their complete journey, Kelley provides rare insight into the communal lives of slaves and sheds new light on the African diaspora and its influence on the formation of African American culture. In this immersive exploration, Kelley connects the story of enslaved people in the United States to their origins in Africa as never before. Told uniquely from the perspective of one particular voyage, this book brings a slave ship's journey to life, giving us one of the clearest views of the 18th-century slave trade. ungekürzt.

    Frankenstein or, The Modern Prometheus - The Original 1816 Classic, Hörbuch, Digital, 187min
    Housebound by inclement weather at a villa near Geneva in 1817 in what has come to be known as, "The Year Without A Summer", a gifted group of writers passed the time by reading then-popular ghost stories and contemplating "the nature of the principle of life." Lord Byron, Percy Bysshe Shelley, and Shelley's wife Mary, who was then only nineteen, all agreed to each compose ghost stories. Mary Shelley's story came to her during a restive night: "I saw the hideous phantasm of a man stretched out, and then, on the working of some powerful engine, show signs of life and stir with an uneasy, half-vital motion." The result of her vision, which she later published as a full length novel, became the most famous and compelling horror story of all time. This performance by Julie Harris delivers a chilling reading of the original work as told by the young Mary Shelley. Curl up on a lonely evening, with lights low and perhaps a storm raging outside and return to the 19th Century to experience the classic evocation of the macabre. Language: English. Narrator: Julie Harris. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/pnix/000645/bk_pnix_000645_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    The Four Books , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 810min
    From master storyteller Yan Lianke, winner of the prestigious Franz Kafka Prize and a finalist for the Man Booker International Prize, The Four Books is a powerful, daring novel of the dog-eat-dog psychology inside a labor camp for intellectuals during Mao's Great Leap Forward. Yan is a renowned author in China and among its most censored; his mythical, sometimes surreal tale cuts to the bone in its portrayal of the struggle between authoritarian power and man's will to prevail against the darkest odds through camaraderie, love, and faith. In the ninety-ninth district of a sprawling reeducation compound, freethinking artists and academics are detained to strengthen their loyalty to Communist ideologies. Here, the Musician and her lover, the Scholar, along with the Author and the Theologian, are forced to carry out grueling physical work and are encouraged to inform on each other for dissident behavior. The prize: winning a chance at freedom. They're overseen by preadolescent supervisor the Child, who delights in reward systems and excessive punishments. When agricultural and industrial production quotas are raised to an unattainable level, the ninety-ninth district dissolves into lawlessness. And then, as inclement weather and famine set in, they are abandoned by the regime and left alone to survive. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: George Backman.

    Medicus: A Novel of the Roman Empire , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 710min
    Gaius Petrius Ruso is a divorced and down-on-his-luck army doctor who has made the rash decision to seek his fortune in an inclement outpost of the Roman Empire, namely Britannia. His arrival in Deva (more commonly known today as Chester, England) does little to improve his mood, and after a 36-hour shift at the army hospital, he succumbs to a moment of weakness and rescues an injured slave girl, Tilla, from the hands of her abusive owner. Now he has a new problem: a slave who won't talk and can't cook, and drags trouble in her wake. Before he knows it, Ruso is caught in the middle of an investigation into the deaths of prostitutes working out of the local bar. A few years earlier, after he rescued Emperor Trajan from an earthquake in Antioch, Ruso seemed headed for glory: now he's living among heathens in a vermin-infested bachelor pad and must summon all his forensic knowledge to find a killer who may be after him next. Who are the true barbarians, the conquered or the conquerors? It's up to Ruso (certainly the most likeable sleuth to come out of the Roman Empire) to discover the truth. With a gift for comic timing and historic detail, Ruth Downie has conjured an ancient world as raucous and real as our own. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Simon Vance.

    Is This Seat Taken?: My New Lesbian Matinee Love , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 66min
    Who would have thought my first time exploring my hidden lesbian fantasies would have been like something straight out of the movies? I've always been a shyer girl, especially when it comes to matters of romance and intimacy. A freshman in college, I feel completely cut off from the people around me who party and rabble rouse, lesbians kissing at parties and dancers bumping and grinding.... It's just all too much for me to take. I more or less make it through my entire first semester without any real establishment of social or, certainly, romantic connections whatsoever. The winter break is a long and a cold one, and upon my return to campus I don't expect a damn thing to change. But then, one not-so-fine day, my Econ 101 class is cancelled due to extremely inclement weather. I decide to go and see a movie on campus instead of trudging all the way back to my dorm room through the snowstorm, and I'm astonished when, as I'm sitting there, a girl from my art history class on whom I have a massive crush sits down directly beside me, setting my entire body on edge with nerves. And things are only about to get a lot more skinematic from there, if you catch my drift.... ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Linda Shej.
