    This story revolves around the life of a revolver. There are no main characters or supporting actors throughout the story. Instead, the revolver is the main focus as it travels from one owner to the next. The star of this feature is a pearl-handled .38 caliber snub-nosed revolver. We follow the weapon through its life in a small city somewhere in South Texas. Each owner of the .38 has a different approach to the gun’s purpose and use. As the gun passes through time, the story shows the different relationship of it to its owners. Sometimes, the weapon is for security or a tool of aggression or just for sport, but here, it is deadly every time. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Ron Allan Fouts.

    Gadsby is a 1939 novel by Ernest Vincent Wright. The plot revolves around the dying fictional city of Branton Hills which is revitalized thanks to the efforts of protagonist John Gadsby and a youth group he organizes. The novel is written as a lipogram and does not include words that contain the letter "e". Though self-published and little-noticed in its time, the book is a favorite of fans of constrained writing and is a sought-after rarity among some book collectors. Later editions of the book have sometimes carried the alternative subtitle 50,000 Word Novel Without the Letter 'E'. In 1968, the novel entered the public domain in the United States due to failure to renew copyright in the 28th year after publication. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Norman Antor.

    The house is called "Pleasance" and is rented by two sisters, Blanche and Aileen. The story revolves around the fortunes of two neighbouring families of varied social standing. The sisters' semi-detachment is to the Hopkinsons. Whilst Blanche's husband, Arthur, is abroad on a mission, the neighbours soon prove themselves invaluable as friends and Blanche and Mrs Hopkinson discover that their husbands are already acquainted! Emily Eden said of this work at the time of writing, that it was a 'tolerably faithful representation of modern society' but when it was published 30 years later, she saw it as 'a strange chronicle of the Olden Time'. It remains, however, a sharp and witty cameo of polite society in nineteenth century England. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Peter Joyce.

    With his astonishing future vision, Howard V. Hendrix has emerged as one of the new masters of science fiction, drawing extraordinary praise for his debut novel, Lightpaths, "a taut...space-age slice of life." (Publishers Weekly), and its "brilliant" (Locus) follow-up, Standing Wave. Now Hendrix meshes virtual reality, deep-space exploration, and human nature in a novel starkly breathtaking in its portrayal of the quest for meaning against a backdrop of scientific and spiritual chaos.
