    Rivers , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 258min
    A critically acclaimed, award-winning collection drawing sparkling prose from the inspiration of three rivers passing through different times and places. On the storm-swollen Aisne in northeastern France, an alcoholic actor combats both his demons and nature’s tempests. Along the Main and Rhine in Germany, a kindhearted logger has but one wish: to travel with the lumber from his small Franconian hometown to the end of the river in the Netherlands, where it feeds into the majestic North Sea. In a bucolic vale in the French region of Brittany, two families, divided by religion and an unnamed stream, sustain a centuries-old feud, their resolve no match for the constantly shifting flow of water. These three stories span countries and eras, but they are all connected by, and reliant on, the unpredictable power and languid beauty of rivers that give life as quickly as they take it away. ungekürzt.

    The Man Who Painted Fire & Other Poems of the Quantum , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 44min
    The Man Who Painted Fire and Other Poems of the Quantum is a small collection of poems spanning several decades, centered upon the mysteries of cosmic fire and the elemental forces in our corner of the universe, the divine presence in our search for life, love, and being, and the light illuminating the darkness of what seems to be an unforgiving and endless cosmos.Often, the thinker suffers an unconscious as well as conscious apprehension of death and the grand unthinkable. Being an artist in the romantic tradition, fascinated by the stars, storms on the Sun, the Borealis, tempests on the Sea...and the calling of ancient rituals which echo repeatedly through time. The eclipse of the Sun is a common theme for many ceremonies, and is an awesome performer in its solar dance, thereby being a principal focus of this eclectic collection, presented to you in my 77th year to heaven, an old man, yet young at heart. I have no answers, unless the answer is in the seeking, and hopefully in the end, the love of beauty and creation will supplant the need for devastation. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    The Silence of Bonaventure Arrow: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 683min
    Conceived in love and possibility, Bonaventure Arrow didn't make a peep when he was born, and the doctor nearly took him for dead. No one knows that Bonaventure's silence is filled with resonance - a miraculous gift of rarified hearing that encompasses the Universe of Every Single Sound. Growing up in the big house on Christopher Street in Bayou Cymbaline, Bonaventure can hear flowers grow, a thousand shades of blue, and the miniature tempests that rage inside raindrops. He can also hear the gentle voice of his father, William Arrow, shot dead before Bonaventure was born by a mysterious stranger known only as the Wanderer. Bonaventure's remarkable gift of listening promises salvation to the souls who love him: his beautiful young mother, Dancy, haunted by the death of her husband; his Grand-mere Letice, plagued by grief and a long-buried guilt she locks away in a chapel; and his father, William, whose roaming spirit must fix the wreckage of the past. With the help of Trinidad Prefontaine, a Creole housekeeper endowed with her own special gifts, Bonaventure will find the key to long-buried mysteries and soothe a chorus of family secrets clamoring to be healed. ungekürzt.

    The Swamp: Washington's Murky Pool of Corruption and Cronyism - and How Trump Can Drain It , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 358min
    This program is read by the author. When Washington, DC, was first built, it was on top of a swamp that had to be drained. Donald Trump says it's time to drain it again. In The Swamp, best-selling author and Fox News Channel host Eric Bolling presents an infuriating, amusing, revealing, and outrageous history of American politics, past and present, Republican and Democrat. From national political scandals to tempests in a teapot that blew up; bribery, blackmail, bullying, and backroom deals that contradicted public policies; cronyism that cost taxpayers hundreds upon hundreds of millions of dollars; and personal conduct that can only be described as regrettable, The Swamp is a journey downriver through the bayous and marshes of Capitol Hill and Foggy Bottom. The presidential election of 2016 was ugly, but it exposed a political, media, industry, and elite establishment that desperately wanted to elect a politician who received millions of dollars from terror-funding states over a businessman willing to tell the corrupt or incompetent, "You're fired". The audiobook concludes with a series of recommendations for President Trump: practical, hard-headed, and concise ways to drain the swamp and force Washington to be more transparent, more accountable, and more effective in how it serves those who have elected its politicians and pay the bills for their decisions. Last year President Trump declared Wake Up America to be a "huge" book; Eric Bolling's second audiobook is sure to build on that success. Entertaining and timely, The Swamp is the perfect audiobook for today's political climate. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Eric Bolling.

    Natural Disaster: I Cover Them. I Am One. , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 347min
    Before becoming America's first-ever female network chief meteorologist or appearing on Dancing with the Stars, ABC News's Ginger Zee checked herself into a mental health hospital. Natural Disaster: I Cover Them. I Am One. is Ginger's heartbreaking, hilarious, and harshly honest life story - from Dickhead's (you won't soon forget that name) deck on Lake Michigan to her storm-chasing dream at ABC News. Ginger opens up about her lifelong battle with crippling depression, her romances that ranged from misguided to dangerous, and her tumultuous professional path. This cyclone of stories may sound familiar to some - it's just that Ginger's personal tempests happened while she was covering some of the most devastating storms in recent history, including a ferocious tornado that killed a legend in the meteorology field. She also canceled her first wedding - twice - because she finally listened to her inner voice, which was saying, This isn't right, but then she happened to fall in love with her gay best friend. Yes, twice. Yes, gay. On the sunny side, this book is for all the mistake makers who have learned to forgive others and themselves - even in the aftermath of man-made, or in this case Ginger-made, disasters. It's a story that every young woman should read, a story about finding love in the world and finding it in yourself. Beloved by Good Morning America's audience, Ginger is a daily presence for millions. She's gained fame for her social media presence, which is as unfiltered as Natural Disaster - from baby barf to doggy doo-doo. She's shattered the glass ceiling for women in meteorology but admits here first she's the one natural disaster she couldn't have forecast. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Ginger Zee.

    The Way of Kings: The Stormlight Archive, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 2730min
    From number one New York Times best-selling author Brandon Sanderson, The Way of Kings, book one of the Stormlight Archive, begins an incredible new saga of epic proportion.Roshar is a world of stone and storms. Uncanny tempests of incredible power sweep across the rocky terrain so frequently that they have shaped ecology and civilization alike. Animals hide in shells, trees pull in branches, and grass retracts into the soilless ground. Cities are built only where the topography offers shelter.It has been centuries since the fall of the 10 consecrated orders known as the Knights Radiant, but their Shardblades and Shardplate remain: mystical swords and suits of armor that transform ordinary men into near-invincible warriors. Men trade kingdoms for Shardblades. Wars were fought for them and won by them.One such war rages on a ruined landscape called the Shattered Plains. There, Kaladin, who traded his medical apprenticeship for a spear to protect his little brother, has been reduced to slavery. In a war that makes no sense, where 10 armies fight separately against a single foe, he struggles to save his men and to fathom the leaders who consider them expendable.Brightlord Dalinar Kholin commands one of those other armies. Like his brother, the late king, he is fascinated by an ancient text called The Way of Kings. Troubled by over-powering visions of ancient times and the Knights Radiant, he has begun to doubt his own sanity.Across the ocean, an untried young woman named Shallan seeks to train under an eminent scholar and notorious heretic, Dalinar's niece, Jasnah. Though she genuinely loves learning, Shallan's motives are less than pure. As she plans a daring theft, her research for Jasnah hints at secrets of the Knights Radiant and the true cause of the war.The result of more than 10 years of planning, writing, and world-building, The Way of Kings is but the opening movement of the Stormlight Archive, ungekürzt.

    Rails of Drowsiness , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 22min
    Three of us shared a room at the University of Southampton. The director considered three would not allow the conspiracy of two if the third party always creates discord, and he would learn about the plans of the other two. And after those two would become the third in discord. Not in our case. It was the only room where the betrayal did not appear. Time passed, and one of my companions fulfilled his dream that he always shared with us: to have his own airplane, piloted by him. One day, the gales of tempests swallowed him to never return him. The other of my companions swore to us to take over the sea, and when he finally had his own boat, after several misfortunes in his life, he decided to loose himself in the immense ocean to never return. They joked I only wanted to travel by train. "Someday, you will disappear," they told me. The trains that I had idealized have not died out, but they are in agony. I have traveled in some when I have been able and now time and modernity have left behind them and my friends have disappeared, but I continue traveling in them and will forever. Forever and as long as I have a collection of poems, unique in it's genre, like the one we crave in our hands, you and me.The trains have become one of those places of the most sensitive humanity, having represented the union of the world that, together with the steamboats, connected it as if, for the first time, individuals appreciated each other to never forget. But nostalgia and abandonment have tirelessly pursued their demise to make way for sophisticated technologies. They have become the junkyard of our most intimate feelings of abandonment and evocation. The book in your hands recovers them to a protean level; remembrance that will inevitably make us eternal passengers of the interminable journey, with its hymn of smoke and distant sounds.The Rails of Drowsiness makes us feel, not merely listen to, verses that are the sensitive source to rememb ungekürzt.
