    Island Home: A Landscape Memoir , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 302min
    'I grew up on the world's largest island.' This apparently simple fact is the starting point for Tim Winton's beautiful, evocative and sometimes provocative memoir of how this unique landscape has shaped him and his writing. For over 30 years, Winton has written novels in which the natural world is as much a living presence as any character. What is true of his work is also true of his life: from boyhood, his relationship with the world around him - rock pools, sea caves, scrub and swamp - was as vital as any other connection. Camping in hidden inlets of the southeast, walking in the high rocky desert fringe, diving at Ningaloo Reef, bobbing in the sea between sets, Winton has felt the place seep into him, with its rhythms, its dangers, its strange sustenance, and learned to see landscape as a living process. Island Home is the story of how that relationship with the Australian landscape came to be and how it has determined his ideas, his writing and his life. It is also a passionate exhortation for all of us to feel the ground beneath our feet. Much more powerfully than a political idea or an economy, Australia is a physical entity. Where we are defines who we are in ways we too often forget, to our detriment and the country's. Wise, rhapsodic, exalted - Island Home is not just a brilliant, moving insight into the life and art of one of our finest writers but a compelling investigation into the way our country makes us who we are. ungekürzt.

Today, the echoes of that fateful night are still audible. Terry's wife, Cynthia, is living separate from her husband and daughter after her own personal demons threatened to ruin her relationship with them permanently. Their daughter, Grace, is rebelling against her parents' seemingly needless overprotection. Terry is just trying to keep his family together. And the entire town is reeling from the senseless murder of two elderly locals. But when Grace foolishly follows her delinquent boyfriend into a strange house, the Archers must do more than stay together. They must stay alive. Because now they have all been unwillingly drawn into the shadowy depths of their seemingly idyllic hometown. For there, they will be reconnected with the man who saved their lives seven years ago, but who still remains a ruthless, unrepentant criminal. They will encounter killers for hire working all sides. And they will learn that there are some things people value much more than money, and will do anything to get it. Caught in a labyrinth between family loyalty and ultimate betrayal, Terry must find a way to extricate his family from a lethal situation he still doesn't fully comprehend. All he knows is that to live, he may have to do the unthinkable.... Read by Brian O'Neill and Graham Winton. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Brian O'Neill, Graham Winton.

    Nicky & Vera

Eines dieser Kinder ist die kleine Vera Gissing, die im Sommer 1939 ihr Dorf und ihre Familie verlässt. Sie wird die Nazizeit überleben, aber ihre Familie nie wiedersehen.Wie es ist, wenn man sein Zuhause verlassen muss, das können schon kleine Kinder verstehen. Und auch, dass da ein Mensch ist, der es als seine Aufgabe begreift, anderen zu helfen und nicht wegzusehen. In leuchtenden, poetischen Bildern verwebt der Ausnahmekünstler Peter Sís die Lebensgeschichten der beiden und erzählt von Menschlichkeit, Anstand und Mut.
