    Trainspotting / Trainspotting Bd.1
    Die volle Ladung Leben - ein Klassiker der Underground-Literatur Mietskasernen, Arbeitslosigkeit, miese Pubs, viel Alkohol und jede Menge Drogen: das ist der Alltag in Leith, einem heruntergekommenen Vorort von Edinburgh. Das ist auch der Alltag von Renton, Spud, Begbie, Sick Boy und Dianne, einer Clique von jugendlichen Außenseitern, in deren Leben sich fast alles um Drogen dreht. Wer kein Junkie ist, wird bald einer werden oder war einer oder wird bald wieder einer sein. Neben Stuff, Rausch, Entzug, Sex, Frust und Gewalt gibt es aber auch noch die Musik. Und wenn diese Anti-Helden schon alle den Blues haben, so doch zumindest mit 160 beats per minute.

    Letters Home , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 548min
    Life is all about the jigsaw, right? Finding the different puzzle pieces to complete your very own picture. A career you love, a house to make a home, a lover to complete you and keep you warm at night. Danielle Renton has a life, and she loves it. A recent law-school graduate, she'd been floored when her boyfriend, Nate Lewis, enlisted during their sophomore year of college. At the time she'd been concerned with what that meant for them as a couple, but in the years that followed they'd learned to adapt to the logistics of an army relationship. But when life throws her a curveball, how will she cope? Can she pick up the pieces to make her picture beautiful again? Or will she realize that sometimes the pieces are too broken to fit back together? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Satauna Howery.

    Blood Legacy
    Through the story of his own family's history as slave and plantation owners, Alex Renton looks at how we owe it to the present to understand the legacy of the past. When British Caribbean slavery was abolished across most of the British Empire in 1833, it was not the newly liberated who received compensation, but the tens of thousands of enslavers who were paid millions of pounds in government money. The descendants of some of those slave owners are among the wealthiest and most powerful people in Britain today. Blood Legacy explores what inheritance - political, economic, moral and spiritual - has been passed to the descendants of the slave owners and the descendants of the enslaved. He also asks, crucially, how the former - himself among them - can begin to make reparations for the past.

    Dead Men's Trousers , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 851min
    Random House presents the audiobook edition of Dead Men's Trousers by Irvine Welsh, read by Tam Dean Burn.  Mark Renton is finally a success. An international jet-setter, he now makes significant money managing DJs, but the constant travel, airport lounges, soulless hotel rooms and broken relationships have left him dissatisfied with his life. He's then rocked by a chance encounter with Frank Begbie, from whom he'd been hiding for years after a terrible betrayal and the resulting debt. But the psychotic Begbie appears to have reinvented himself as a celebrated artist and - much to Mark's astonishment - doesn't seem interested in revenge.  Sick Boy and Spud, who have agendas of their own, are intrigued to learn that their old friends are back in town, but when they enter the bleak world of organ harvesting, things start to go so badly wrong. Lurching from crisis to crisis, the four men circle each other, driven by their personal histories and addictions, confused, angry - so desperate that even Hibs winning the Scottish Cup doesn't really help. One of these four will not survive to the end of this audiobook. Which one of them is wearing Dead Men's Trousers?  Fast and furious, scabrously funny and weirdly moving, this is a spectacular return of the crew from Trainspotting.  ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Tam Dean Burn. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/rhuk/003060/bk_rhuk_003060_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    Skagboys , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1488min
    Mark Renton has it all: He's good-looking, young, with a pretty girlfriend and a place at university. But there's no room for him in the 1980s.Thatcher's government is destroying working-class communities across Britain, and the post-war certainties of full employment, educational opportunity and a welfare state are gone. When his family starts to fracture, Mark's life swings out of control and he succumbs to the defeatism which has taken hold in Edinburgh's grimmer areas. The way out is heroin. It's no better for his friends. Spud Murphy is laid off from his job, Tommy Lawrence feels himself being sucked into a life of petty crime and violence - the worlds of the thieving Matty Connell and psychotic Franco Begbie. Only Sick Boy, the supreme manipulator of the opposite sex, seems to ride the current, scamming and hustling his way through it all. Skagboys charts their journey from likely lads to young men addicted to the heroin which has flooded their disintegrating community. This is the 1980s: a time of drugs, poverty, AIDS, violence, political strife, and hatred - but a lot of laughs, and maybe just a little love; a decade that changed Britain for ever. The prequel to the world-renowned Trainspotting, this is an exhilarating and moving book, full of the scabrous humour, salty vernacular and appalling behaviour that has made Irvine Welsh a household name. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Tam Dean Burn. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/rhuk/001274/bk_rhuk_001274_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    Building Alaska - Hausbau extrem Staffel 8 Folge 2
    Holz, Dachplatten, Türen und Fenster: Chris Sewell will am Judd Lake nordwestlich von Anchorage eine 60 Quadratmeter große Hütte in Nut-Feder-Technik errichten. Die Bauteile wurden in Renton maßgefertigt und für den Transport hat der Naturliebhaber extra einen Lastenhubschrauber angemietet. Der Rotor des 9600 PS starken Riesen-Helis hat einen Durchmesser von 20 Metern und wirbelt beim Anflug jede Menge Staub auf. Deshalb muss auf der Baustelle alles sicher verankert werden, bevor der acht Tonnen schwere Frachtcontainer am Boden abgesetzt wird.
