The Fellowship of Amorous Gentlemen: Erotic Victorian Encounters , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 122min, (USK 18)
Before The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, and long before The Fellowship of the Ring, came the Fellowship of Amorous Gentlemen, a group of upper-class men-about-town who swashed and buckled their way through every eligible young female in 19th-century London, leaving nothing but pleasure in their wake. Some of these unsung heroes of the night included Phileas Fogg, Allan Quatermain, Captain Nemo, and the Great Detective himself (together with the Good Doctor, his dutiful companion). Join us now in those thrilling days of yesteryear, when all decent women sported constricting, concealing corsets - and all the pretty ones wore nothing at all! ungekürzt. Language: English.

Chances Are
One beautiful September day, three sixty-six-year-old men convene on Martha's Vineyard, friends ever since meeting in college in the 1960s. They couldn't have been more different then, or even today - Lincoln's a commercial real estate broker, Teddy a tiny-press publisher and Mickey an ageing musician. But each man holds his own secrets, in addition to the monumental mystery that none of them has ever stopped puzzling over since 1971: the disappearance of their friend Jacy. Now, decades later, the distant past interrupts the present as the truth about what happened to Jacy finally emerges, forcing the men to reconsider everything they thought they knew about each other. Shot through with Russo's trademark comedy and humanity, Chances Are also introduces a new level of suspense and menace that will quicken the reader's heartbeat throughout this absorbing saga of how friendship's bonds are every bit as constricting and rewarding as those of family.For both longtime fans and lucky newcomers, Chances Are is a stunning demonstration of a highly-acclaimed author deepening and expanding his remarkable body of work.- Shop: buecher

If Nuns Ruled the World: Ten Sisters on a Mission , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 469min
Veteran reporter Jo Piazza profiles 10 extraordinary nuns and the causes to which they have dedicated their lives - from an 83-year-old Ironman champion to a brave sister who rescues victims of human trafficking. Meet Sister Simone Campbell, who traversed the United States challenging a Republican budget that threatened to severely undermine the well-being of poor Americans; Sister Megan Rice, who is willing to spend the rest of her life in prison if it helps eliminate nuclear weapons; and the inimitable Sister Jeannine Gramick, who is fighting for acceptance of gays and lesbians in the Catholic Church. During a time when American nuns are under attack from the very institution to which they pledge, these sisters offer inspiring, provocative counter-stories that are sure to spark debate. Overthrowing our popular perception of nuns as killjoy schoolmarms content to live in the annals of nostalgia, Piazza defines them instead as the most vigorous catalysts of change in an otherwise constricting patriarchy. ungekürzt.

The Duke of Defiance: The Untouchables, Book 5 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 498min
Difficult and defiant as a child, Bran Crowther, Earl of Knighton left England as a young man to pursue independence and adventure. He never expected to inherit the title and when duty calls him home, he still finds Society's codes constricting and others' expectations oppressive. Nevertheless, he needs a wife to be a mother to his young daughter, preferably a woman of intelligence and warmth who is, above all, immune to his idiosyncrasies - and to falling in love. Widow Joanna Shaw isn't interested in a second marriage, not after the loveless, passionless union she endured. She'd much rather dote on her young niece and nephew since they will likely be the only children in her life...until she meets a precocious girl, in desperate need of a mother. But her father, the so-called Duke of Defiance, is as peculiar as he is handsome, and Jo won't take another risk with her heart. Their rules, however, are made to be broken, even when the consequences could destroy them both. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Marian Hussey.

The Scorpion's Sting: Antislavery and the Coming of the Civil War , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 303min
An award-winning historian illuminates the strategy for ending slavery that precipitated the crisis of civil war. Surrounded by a ring of fire, the scorpion stings itself to death. The image, widespread among antislavery leaders before the Civil War, captures their long-standing strategy for peaceful abolition: They would surround the slave states with a cordon of freedom. They planned to use federal power wherever they could to establish freedom: the western territories, the District of Columbia, the high seas. By constricting slavery they would induce a crisis: Slaves would escape in ever-greater numbers, the southern economy would falter, and finally the southern states would abolish the institution themselves. For their part the southern states fully understood this antislavery strategy. They cited it repeatedly as they adopted secession ordinances in response to Lincoln's election. The scorpion's sting is the centerpiece of this fresh, incisive exploration of slavery and the Civil War: Was there a peaceful route to abolition? Was Lincoln late to emancipation? What role did race play in the politics of slavery? With stunning insight James Oakes moves us ever closer to a new understanding of the most momentous events in our history. ungekürzt.

Baby V: Chianti Kisses Series, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 531min
Life is full of choices...paths, if you will. Vincenza Lombardi's life has been carefully planned out and orchestrated by her wealthy and powerful family. Nothing but the best for their "Baby V" - the best prep schools, the finest finishing schools, and the top girls-only university in the nation. As the only daughter, she has been protected and shielded by her three older brothers from anything unsavory that could possibly compromise their pride and joy. Every decision, every move, has been to prepare Baby V for the role she was born for. But Vincenza, or "V", has other plans. Home for one last summer before she embarks on her secret life plans, she's determined to forge her own way, on her own, separate from her impressive but constricting family legacy. As if three older brothers aren't enough to stand in her way, V also has to deal with Dom DiBenedetto. The DiBenedetto and Lombardi families had grown their fortunes together, raised their families closely, and run one of the most successful importing businesses in the world. As CEO, Dom is used to running things his way and getting what he wants. As the head of his family, Dom takes his role seriously...ensuring the future and security of his employees and his loved ones. Unbeknownst to her, V plays a critical role in those plans, but will they fit in with the life she sees for herself? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Lucy Malone.

Unbinding the Heart: A Dose of Greek Wisdom, Generosity, and Unconditional Love , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 372min
In Unbinding the Heart, author, speaker, and Huffington Post regular Agapi Stassinopoulos brings you an unabridged reading of her inspiring journey of inner exploration to reconnect with her true self - featuring a new guided meditation available only in this audiobook. Born in Greece, a country that celebrates life, Agapi learned the essential truths of happiness through the examples of wisdom, caring, playfulness, and generosity she saw all around her, starting with her own mother. She came to realize that everyone is born with an open heart, but we quickly learn to put conditions on our happiness - comparing ourselves to others, casting judgment, doubting ourselves, allowing fear or entitlement or self-righteousness to take hold - and slowly our hearts begin to close. We isolate ourselves, feeling alone, disconnected, and unheard; and in doing so we immobilize our spirits, stifle our authentic expressions, and cut off our joy. As she went on, Agapi, like so many of us, came under the soul-constricting influences of the larger world. In her struggle to find her place and her voice, trying to balance the acting career she dreamed of with the spiritual life she longed for, she discovered a path that was uniquely hers. Unbinding the Heart shows how she found her way home to herself. To conclude, Agapi offers you a guided meditation to connect with your "portable paradise" - an always-available inner sanctuary of peace, openness, and joy. In 32 personal, heartfelt stories full of insight and humor, Agapi takes us from her mother's bountiful kitchen, where the seeds of fearless living were planted, to the London classical stage to an epiphany on a New York City bus - and inspires us with the confidence to let go of the beliefs that bind us and come to a deeper understanding of life and love. ungekürzt.
