Belfagor: The Devil Who Took a Wife , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 23min
Belfador is the single novella remaining of Machiavelli’s works. It was considered one of the finest of the period. Machiavelli was considered a skilled storyteller by all who knew him for, after all, stories form the basis of his most famous work, The Prince, and others: The Art of War and Discourses. His comic play The Mandrake Root was a spectacular success. Listen to and read all of these works to understand Machiavelli best. "Belfagor" is a compact version of lessons from The Prince. In it, Pluto wants to figure out if sinners coming to him are correct in saying it was all their wives' fault. Belfagor is selected to go into the world and find out. Belfagor marries a beautiful woman who bankrupts him through extravagance and demands to fund her family. Belfagor must escape his creditors. A peasant with great cunning saves him and himself, and they avoid prison and hanging. Professor Donald Fleming, a noted Harvard cultural historian said, "I encourage my students to read and write about five works of an author. It rounds out their thinking and avoids pigeonholing them. Once they have read Mark Twain's "Puddenhead Wilson" or Fitzgerald's Tender is the Night or Willa Cather's Alexander's Bridge, they know far more about the author. But after the third, fourth, and fifth books, they really know." So Simply has recorded five by Machiavelli: the witty Belfagor, the comic Mandrake Root, the shrewd Discourses, the wise Art of War, and his masterpiece, The Prince. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Shakespeare's Cuthbert , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 318min
The hilarious niche of British comedic writing has a new contender. At the heart of this riotous laugh-a-paragraph farce that will delight members of amateur dramatic societies everywhere lies a forgotten village in a remote valley where the "real valley folk" live, including Cuthbert, the village undertaker, impresario of the shambolic annual theater production, and holy fool; Margery, the local beauty and mother of the Mafia twins whose constant creative disruption provides a reliable source of hazard and misadventure; the anonymous milkman whose flashing teeth can fell a woman at 50 paces; Percy, the gardener whose still waters run curiously if not necessarily deep; and the regulars at the Mandrake Arms who drink to remember and drink to forget as plots and plans flourish in their midst. Suddenly into this by-water of rural oblivion bursts a band of newcomers who have taken up residence at the seigneurial Mandrake Hall: Henry, a prominent media reporter, and his daughter, who is more horse than her horse; Henry's brother, Ronald, an adventurer, a mercenary, and a sometime crook; and the unreconstituted Captain and his much-put-upon wife, Elspeth. What are these rank and unlikely outsiders doing in these obscure parts, and what are they looking for as they vigorously comb the village and the extensive network of tunnels built beneath it? One clue is the persistent legend that the bard himself, William Shakespeare, was once employed as a tutor up at the hall (thus the annual village play), and there might still be fragments of his early work--a fumbling, politically incorrect piece--waiting to be discovered. Fame and fortune may follow, but corpses will be dug up first. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Steve Lawrence.

Trial and Temptation: Mandrake Company, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 493min
After 10 years of flying freighter ships from planet to planet, Val Calendula never thought she would apply for a job as a combat pilot in a mercenary outfit. But her brother has gotten himself into financial trouble, and he's heading to a mining prison if Val can't pay off his debts. Mercenaries don't always live long...but they make good money while they're alive. A few combat bonuses, and Val could earn what she needs. The problem? She might have graduated from the military flight academy, but she hasn't fought anything more dangerous than dust bunnies on the bridge lately. To make matters worse, the man in charge of hiring pilots was her instructor back at the academy. Commander Thatcher was almost as brilliant as he was arrogant and condescending, and he never seemed to think Val was smart enough to be there. She has no idea if she'll be able to convince him otherwise now...or if she'll be able to stand working with him. When Gregor Thatcher left the military, he never expected to run into any of his former acquaintances, much less the one he admired and mooned over during his two years teaching at the academy. Back then he never told Val Calendula he cared for her, partially because officers weren't supposed to have relations with cadets, but mostly because he didn't know how to speak of his feelings. He might not have any trouble grasping navigational mathematics and astrodynamics, but people are more problematic. Gregor is elated that Val has entered his life again, but he's fairly certain she hates him. Worse, he's responsible for deciding whether she's qualified to be a combat pilot. How can he judge fairly when his tongue tangles and idiotic words come out of his mouth whenever she's around? When the captain sends Val and Gregor on a mission to pick up a military advisor and deliver him to a planet at war, Val hopes she'll have an opportunity to prove herself capable of the piloting position. Gregor hopes he'll have the ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jill Redfield. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/podm/000380/bk_podm_000380_sample.mp3.

The Tracker's Dilemma , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 490min
Sergeant Heath “Tick” Hawthorn, the best tracker in Mandrake Company and the captain’s right-hand man, has been admiring microbiologist Lauren Keys from afar for months. Unfortunately, she’s dedicated to her science and doesn’t seem to have any interest in relationships. He’s not even sure she knows his name. Determined to change that, Heath develops a surefire plan: He signs up to be a specimen in her latest study. Once she gets to know him better, he’s positive she’ll find his charms appealing. But when he starts hearing other people's thoughts and receiving eerie premonitions, he questions the wisdom of turning himself into a lab rat. On a mission planet-side with Lauren, they finally have some time alone together, but he’s too worried he’s turning into a freak to be charming. Further, the outing soon turns dangerous, as predators and bounty hunters show an interest in the party. If he and Lauren aren’t careful, they’ll end up dead instead of dating. Maybe Heath's plan wasn’t as surefire as he thought. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jill Redfield. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/podm/001125/bk_podm_001125_sample.mp3.
