    Jane Eyre, Hörbuch, Digital, 1107min
    Writing for the Penguin edition, Stevie Davies describes Jane Eyre as an "influential feminist text" because of its in depth exploration of a strong female character's feelings. Primarily of the bildungsroman genre, Jane Eyre follows the emotions and experiences of eponymous Jane Eyre, her growth to adulthood, and her love for Mr. Rochester, the byronic master of Thornfield Hall. The novel contains elements of social criticism, with a strong sense of morality at its core, but is nonetheless a novel many consider ahead of its time given the individualistic character of Jane and the novel's exploration of sexuality, religion, and proto feminism. Language: English. Narrator: Elizabeth Klett. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/lind/001389/bk_lind_001389_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    Peter Goldthwaite's Treasure , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 45min
    Nathaniel Hawthorne, American novelist and short story writer, delivers a quintessentially dark short story in the form of "Peter Goldthwaite’s Treasure". Originally published in 1838 and is part of Hawthorne’s short story collection Twice-Told Tales, "Peter Goldthwaite’s Treasure" follows the eponymous Peter Goldthwaite as he tears his family home apart from top to bottom, spurning all good advice and lucrative alternatives, in search of treasure that has purportedly been stashed somewhere within the structure by his ancestor. This moral tale is at once a psychological and satirical illustration of greed, obstinacy, and madness. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Leo McQueen.

    I Offer It to You, Hörbuch, Digital, 6min
    I Offer It to You includes a reading of the eponymous prayer followed by beautiful piano music based on an original composition of Frederic Chopin. The piano composition includes Nocturne in E Major, Op. 62 No. 2 - Lento. The uneasy start of this nocturne shatters the melody nervously before picking up the broken thread a moment later. The agitation soon subsides, however, giving way to the principal melody. This comes about in a wondrous and beautiful way. The melody returns with greater calm and poise than before the eruption of that inner storm. Chopin dedicated it to Mademoiselle R. de Konneritz. Performed by Anton Kingsbury. Language: English. Narrator: Josh Verbae. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/mxbo/000249/bk_mxbo_000249_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    The Time Machine , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 210min
    H. G. Wells' novel of 1895 popularised the idea of vehicular time travel in this classic sci-fi tale. The eponymous hero finds himself in the land of the Eloi and the Morlocks. In some ways these encounters foreshadow another, less remote future which George Orwell conjures in Nineteen Eighty-Four: that of the nascent rift between the proles and the party elite. This is a gripping story delivering not merely an imaginative relocation of late Victorian lust for adventure and scientific knowledge but also Wells' warning about politics and society. The endtimes of the Earth and universe are hauntingly evoked in the final chapters. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Greg Wagland.
