    The Tempest , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 120min
    Performed by Sir Michael Redgrave and others, The Tempest possesses a truly wonderful narrative carried by a wonderful cast. Available to download for the first time online. The Tempest is a play by William Shakespeare, believed written in 1610–11, and thought by many critics to be the last play that Shakespeare wrote alone. It is set on a remote island, where Prospero, the rightful Duke of Milan, plots to restore his daughter Miranda to her rightful place using illusion and skilful manipulation. He conjures up a storm, the eponymous tempest, to lure his usurping brother Antonio and the complicit King Alonso of Naples to the island. There, his machinations bring about the revelation of Antonio's low nature, the redemption of the King, and the marriage of Miranda to Alonso's son, Ferdinand. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Blue Bottle Tree , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 500min
    There’s no such thing as Voodoo. At least, that’s what most of the Baptists in Bellin tell themselves. But Seven LaVey knows better.   In a small rural town just outside of Nashville, Voodoo conjures and curses simmer and seethe under the noses of the many who will never know. Seventeen-year-old Seven romanticizes about the meaning of life while held captive as a zombie under the shell of a kiddie pool. He’s counting on the strength - and maybe even love - of a certain redheaded clarinet player to save him. But will she?   Filled with betrayal and revenge, two families struggle with a curse that stretches back to Queen of the Voodoos Marie Laveau in this contemporary Southern Gothic adventure. Prepare for a wildly original twist on the paranormal. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: James Young. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/112150/bk_acx0_112150_sample.mp3.

    Pyre , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 386min
    Pyre glows with as much power as [One Part Woman] did, and adds immeasurable value to contemporary Indian literature. (The Hindu)Saroja and Kumaresan are in love. After a hasty wedding, they arrive in Kumaresan’s village, harboring a dangerous secret: Their marriage is an intercaste one, likely to upset the village elders should they get to know of it. Kumaresan is naively confident that all will be well. But nothing is further from the truth. Despite the strident denials of the young couple, the villagers strongly suspect that Saroja must belong to a different caste. It is only a matter of time before their suspicions harden into certainty and, outraged, they set about exacting their revenge.A devastating tale of innocent young love pitted against chilling savagery, Pyre conjures a terrifying vision of intolerance. ungekürzt.

    Everybody But You , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 249min
    A collection that's spirited and endearing...which she tells with winning self-deprecation and a level of detail that conjures the dusty, sunny fragrance of her travels. Sexton punctuates the pieces in an all-caps-studded brand of wacky humor, mostly in the form of wry one-liners. - Kirkus Reviews "Sexton is a truly original voice; almost everything she thinks and does in this superb collection is unexpected - from grilling a man who tells her she is 'Hot' for more information, to calling a Suicide Hotline only to end up reassuring the inept operator that he is good at his job. EVERYBODY BUT YOU is an entertaining insight into the large talent of an atypical mind any [listener] would be privileged to have." - Maggie Rowe, producer, Comedy Central Stage, Sit 'n Spin ungekürzt.

    The Women in Black , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 352min
    From the Booker-shortlisted-author of The Essence of the Thing comes a great novel, a lost Australian classic. Written by a superb novelist of contemporary manners, The Women in Black is a fairy tale which illuminates the extraordinariness of ordinary lives. The women in black are run off their feet, what with the Christmas rush and the summer sales that follow. But it's Sydney in the 1950s, and there's still just enough time left on a hot and frantic day to dream and scheme... By the time the last marked-down frock has been sold, most of the staff of the Ladies' Cocktail section at F. G. Goode's have been launched into slightly different careers. With the lightest touch and the most tender of comic instincts, Madeleine St. John conjures a vanished summer of innocence. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Deidre Rubenstein.

    The Best of Edgar Allan Poe , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 334min
    The name Edgar Allan Poe conjures up thoughts of hearts beating long after their owners are dead, of disease and plague amid wealth, and of love that extends beyond the grave. The richness of Poe's writing, however, includes much more than horror, loss, and death. Poe's stories teem with irony and black humor, in addition to plot twists and surprise endings. Living by their own rules and charged with passion, Poe's characters are instantly recognizable---even though we may be appalled by their actions, we understand their motivations.This collection contains eleven of Poe's best stories. They are "The Fall of the House of Usher," "The Pit and the Pendulum," "The Tell-Tale Heart," "The Cask of Amontillado," "The Premature Burial," "Ligeia," "The Black Cat," "The Oval Portrait," "Berenice," "The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar," and "The System of Dr. Tarr and Prof. Fether." ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Todd McLaren. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/tant/001758/bk_tant_001758_sample.mp3.

    Bleak House , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 2346min
    In its oppressive atmosphere of fog, mist, and mud, nothing conjures up the dreary days of November and its "implacable" weather like the celebrated opening of Bleak House, by Charles Dickens. The plot concerns a long-running legal dispute (Jarndyce and Jarndyce) which has far-reaching consequences for all involved. Dickens' assault on the flaws of the British judiciary system is based in part on his own experiences as a law clerk. His harsh characterization of the slow, arcane Chancery law process gave voice to widespread frustration with the system, helping to set the stage for its eventual reform in the 1870s.This novel represents the highest point of Dickens' intellectual maturity. Over the years it has been one of his most popular books and was recently turned into a PBS film starring Gillian Anderson. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jim Killavey.

    Wrapped Up in You: My Boyfriend Is a Monster, Book 6 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 61min
    Staci Glass feels cursed - whenever there's a crisis, she's stuck in the middle. Now her best friend, Faith, has a new hobby, and against her better judgment, Staci conjures up the courage to go along. They join a trio of wannabe witches for a magical ceremony in an Incan history exhibit. Their chanting is loud enough to raise the dead, it seems. Why else would a shriveled-up mummy go missing - and a mysterious Incan prince suddenly appear? Prince Pachacutec - or "Chuck" - is a man with a past. He died tragically 500 years ago, but that's all ancient history as far as Staci is concerned. He is everything she could want - kind, charming, and drop-dead gorgeous. But the witches aren't willing to live and let live. Will Staci fight for Chuck? Or do the witches have a point when they say reanimated corpses make bad boyfriends? ungekürzt. Language: English.
