Fantasyland , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1175min
Random House presents the audiobook edition of Fantasyland, written and read by Kurt Anderson. You’re entitled to your own opinion but not your own facts. Fantasy is the USA’s primary product. From the Pilgrim fathers onward, America has been a place where renegades and freaks came in search of freedom to create their own realities with little objectively regulated truth standing in their way. The freedom to invent and believe whatever the hell you like is, in some ways, an unwritten constitutional right. But this do-your-own-thing freedom also is the driving credo of America's current transformation, where the difference between opinion and fact is rapidly crumbling. So how did is a journey that connects the dots between crazed franchises of true believers - a rich freak show tapestry from Mormons to Flat Earthers and satanic panic, new age quacks to anti-vaxxers, conspiracy theorists of every stripe, creationists to climate change deniers, UFO-obsessives to gun-toting libertarians, showmen hucksters from P T Barnum to Trump himself, all topped off with a dangerous dose of anti-government paranoia and pseudoscience. Along the way, on and make-believe, from Salem to Scientology. Fantasyland is a journey that connects the dots between crazed franchises of true believers - a rich freak show tapestry from Mormons to Flat Earthers and satanic panic, new age quacks to anti-vaxxers, conspiracy theorists of every stripe, creationists to climate change deniers, UFO obsessives to gun-toting libertarians, showmen hucksters from PT Barnum to Trump himself, all topped off with a dangerous dose of antigovernment paranoia and pseudoscience. Along the way, New York Times best-selling author Kurt Andersen has created a unique and raucous history of America and a new paradigm for understanding our postfactual world. ungekürzt.

An Independent Miss: The Women of the Woods, Book 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 523min
What's love to do with anything? Immersed in her herbal laboratory, Lady Felicity secretly yearns for a dashing, romantic love straight from a gothic novel. When her brother's house guest, Lord Andover, presses her hands to his chest, and proposes, she is too stunned to take in his words of undying love. Words he surely spoke. Didn't he? Oh, drat, she should have listened. Victims of misguided and inept medical men, Lord Andover's father and brothers are in their graves, his mother lost to the apothecary's opium. Desperate to save his mother, give her a will to live, he sets three goals: marry a sweet, soothing young lady, produce an heir, and free them of apothecaries and quacks. In return he offers all he that he is, all that he owns, except his beleaguered heart. Surely, title, wealth, and good name are all a man need offer. ungekürzt. Language: English.
