    21 Lives in 2013: Obituaries from the Washington Post , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 214min
    A decorated soldier. A pioneering scientist. A bestselling novelist. A beloved world leader. To remember a year is to remember those remarkable people the world lost, and to acknowledge their legacies. In 21 Lives, The Washington Post collects a selection of its most resonant obituaries from 2013 into one compilation. It commemorates lives of people both as globally renowned as Nelson Mandela and Chinua Achebe, as noteworthy in their fields as Esther Williams and Virginia Johnson, and as colorful as Gussie Moran and Josh Burdette. It acknowledges both the loved and the feared, spanning a lifetime of experiences and memories, and it precisely captures the human scale of how the world changed in 2013. ungekürzt.

    Right Ho, Jeeves, Hörbuch, Digital, 288min
    Right Ho, Jeeves sees Bertie Wooster blithely attempting to assume the role of Jeeves himself as a matters-of-the-heart adviser. Very unwise: from Gussie Fink-Nottle's romance with Madeline Bassett, to Tuppy Glossop and his stop/go engagement to Angela Travers, the young master succeeds only in making a bally mess of everyone's love-lives. Toss into the mixing-bowl hot-headed chef Anatole, perpetually resigning from, returning to and re-resigning from the employ of Bertie's long-suffering Aunt Dahlia; and, shimmering over all, the lateral-thinking genius that is Jeeves. Here is more from the wondrously engaging world of Wodehouse, where laughter and inspired idiocy whirl together in warm-hearted celebration of great comic writing. Enjoy? Right ho! Language: English.

    Right Ho, Jeeves! , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 431min
    Sir Pelham Grenville Wodehouse (aka PG Wodehouse) wrote in excess of 90 books, 40 plays, and 200 short stories between 1902 and 1974 and is widely regarded as one of the greatest humorists of the 20th century. Right Ho, Jeeves! is his second in a series of books written about a luckless young British millionaire named Bertram Wooster and his sharp valet, Jeeves. The comic genius of the book was recognized in a 2009 Internet poll, when it was voted the number one best comic book by an English writer. Bertram makes his way to Brinkley Court in an effort to save cousin Angela's relationship with Tuppy Glossop, coax a betrothal out of his good friend Gussie Fink-Nottle with Madeline Bassett, and help his dear Aunt Dahlia secure desperately needed funds for her magazine. In what will become typical Wooster style, all his well-laid plans go awry, and the inimitable Jeeves is called upon to save the day. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Outside Looking In , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 261min
    At 14, Fergy is tired of his family’s lifestyle. He’s tired of living in a van with his parents, J. P. and Gussie, and his younger sister, Ooma. He’s sick of peddling honey and pamphlets of his father’s writings. And most of all he hates stealing things, even though J. P. says it’s all right to "reclaim" necessities from society. Fergy listens to J.P. talk about the evils of "the system," and gradually Fergy realizes that he no longer believes or respects his father. In fact, Fergy longs more than anything to be a part of that system! One day, when Fergy’s father steals a motorhome from an elderly couple who have befriended them, Fergy knows the time has come to act. He’s fed up, and he has to escape. Early one morning, with Ooma in tow, Fergy runs away. Gussie’s wealthy parents live in Boston, and Fergy hopes that if he can find them, he and Ooma can have the "regular and normal" life he longs for. How Fergy comes to grips with his relationship with his parents and his own expectations makes a provocative, at times painful, but always absorbing story about a boy’s determination to make abetter life for himself. ungekürzt.

    Wyrde and Wayward: House of Werth, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 458min
    If you had not already realized it, this is a very strange house you are come to.The Scions of the House of Werth are all born normal. It is what happens afterwards that sets them apart.It is not easy being the most supernatural family in England. Nell talks to the dead; Lord Werth is too often to be found out in the churchyard at the dead of night; and the less said about Lord Bedgberry, the better.Only Miss Gussie Werth has missed out on the family curse. She sups on chocolate, not blood; she's blissfully oblivious to spectres (except for Great-Aunt Honoria, of course); and she hasn't the smallest inclination to turn into a beast upon the full moon, and go ravening about the countryside.But there's more to the Wyrde than meets the eye. When a visit to a neighboring family goes spectacularly, deliciously wrong, Gussie's ideas about her own nature undergo a swift and serious change.Far from being the most ordinary of the bunch, she may just prove to be the most disastrous Werth of them all...Refined Regency manners meet gothic comedy to delightfully absurd effect in Wyrde and Wayward, a fresh new series from the author of Modern Magick and the Malykant Mysteries.  ungekürzt.

    Jeeves and the Wedding Bells , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 415min
    Bertie Wooster (a young man about town) and his butler Jeeves (the very model of the modern manservant) - return in their first new novel in nearly 40 years: Jeeves and the Wedding Bells by Sebastian Faulks. P. G. Wodehouse documented the lives of the inimitable Jeeves and Wooster for nearly 60 years, from their first appearance, in 1915, ("Extricating Young Gussie") to his final completed novel (Aunts Aren't Gentlemen), in 1974. These two were the finest creations of a novelist widely proclaimed to be the finest comic English writer by critics and fans alike. Now, 40 years later, Bertie and Jeeves return in a hilarious affair of mix-ups and mishaps. With the approval of the Wodehouse estate, acclaimed novelist Sebastian Faulks brings these two back to life for their legion of fans. Bertie, nursing a bit of heartbreak over the recent engagement of one Georgina Meadowes to someone not named Wooster, agrees to "help" his old friend Peregrine "Woody" Beeching, whose own romance is foundering. That this means an outing to Dorset, away from an impending visit from Aunt Agatha, is merely an extra benefit. Almost immediately, things go awry and the simple plan quickly becomes complicated. Jeeves ends up impersonating one Lord Etringham, while Bertie pretends to be Jeeves' manservant "Wilberforce," - and this all happens under the same roof as the now affianced Ms. Meadowes. From there the plot becomes even more hilarious and convoluted, in a brilliantly conceived, seamlessly written comic work worthy of the master himself. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Julian Rhind-Tutt. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/aren/001666/bk_aren_001666_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.
