    Snobs, Hörbuch, Digital, 328min
    Edith Lavery, the pretty daughter of an accountant, meets gossip-column favorite Charles Broughton (Earl of Broughton and heir to the Marquess of Uckfield) at Ascot. When he proposes and she accepts, does she really love him, or is she merely dazzled by his title and money? In a tale that mixes contemporary Jane Austen with the brilliant social commentary of Gosford Park, Julian Fellowes chronicles Edith's rise and fall with twists and turns aplenty. Through the eyes of his narrator, a journeyman actor who manages to negotiate the choppy waters of snobbery and excess as he moves between the upper and middle classes, in Snobs Fellowes gives us a delicious comedy of manners to rival Oscar Wilde at his wittiest.

    Hong Kong, Hörbuch, Digital, 328min
    Admiral Jake Grafton takes his wife, Callie, along when the U.S. government sends him to Hong Kong to find out how deeply the American consul-general is embedded in a political money-raising scandal. And why not? Jake and Callie met and fell in love in Hong Kong during the Vietnam War, and the consul-general is a friend from those days. The Graftons quickly discover, however, that Hong Kong is a powder keg ready to explode. A political murder and the closure of a foreign bank by the communist government are the sparks that light the fuse. When Callie is kidnapped by a rebel faction, Jake finds himself drawn into the vortex of a high-tech civil war.

    Bungalow 2, Hörbuch, Digital, 328min
    The phone call came on a hot July day, a day like any other for Marin County mom and freelance writer Tanya Harris. But this call from Tanya's agent was anything but ordinary, offering a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity: the chance to write a major Hollywood screenplay, a dream she had put aside long ago to devote her energies to her family. This time, Tanya knows she cannot refuse, even though she's torn about leaving her husband and daughters. From the moment she steps into her lush bungalow at the fabled Beverly Hills Hotel, Tanya is thrust into an intoxicating new world where she feels reborn, energized by the creativity swirling around her - yet the pull of her family at home is strong. Suddenly she's working alongside A-list actors and a Hollywood legend: Oscar-winning producer Douglas Wayne, a man who always gets what he wants - and who seems to have his sights set on her. Flying home between shoots, struggling to reconnect with a family that seems to need her less and less, Tanya watches helplessly as her old life is pulled out from under her in the most crushing of ways. As her two lives collide, as one award-winning film leads to another, Tanya begins to wonder if she can be a wife, a mother, and a writer at the same time. And just as she confronts the toughest choice she has faced, she is offered another dazzling opportunity, one that could recast her story in an amazing new direction, complete with an ending she never could have written herself.

    Bullfighting , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 328min
    The men in Bullfighting are each concerned with loss in different ways – of their place in their world, of power, virility, love – of the boom days and the Celtic Tiger. ‘The stories, his memories, were wearing out’ the narrator of the title story thinks, ‘and there was nothing new replacing them.’ The stories move from classrooms to graveyards, local pubs to bullrings; featuring an array of men at their working day and at rest, taking stock and reliving past glories. In the first, ‘Recuperation’, a man sets off for a prescribed walk around his neighbourhood, the sights triggering memories and recollections of his wife, his children, and his younger days. In ‘Animals’, George remembers caring for his children’s many pets, his efforts to spare them grief when they die or disappear, looking, in the eyes of his wife, like a hero, like ‘your man from ER’. But now his kids are reared and he’s unemployed, and he’s slowly getting used to that. ‘Suffer, your man Krugman said, when he was asked how Ireland should deal with the next 10 years. Well, this is George, suffering.’ Brilliantly observed, funny and moving, the stories in Bullfighting present a new vision of contemporary Ireland, of its woes and triumphs, and of the Irish middle-aged male confronting new realities. It is a masterful new collection from one of the country’s greatest writers. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Lorcan Cranitch.

    Conservatize Me, Hörbuch, Digital, 328min
    What would happen to a liberal's mind if he subsisted entirely on conservative media and rhetoric? That's what critically acclaimed political humorist, NPR commentator, and McSweeney's contributor John Moe sets out to learn in Conservatize Me. We always hear that everyone in America is firmly planted in red or blue, that they're permanently conservative or irreversibly liberal. But are we all really that locked into the left or the right? John Moe, raised in a family of proud left-wingers and living in deeply liberal Seattle most of his life, sets out to determine if what we believe is based on environment or actual conviction. Moe puts himself on a strict conservative regimen: He resets his radio dial from NPR to Rush Limbaugh, goes head-to-head with some of today's most influential conservative thinkers for a series of "conversion sessions", and through it all tries to maintain a positive standing with his lefty wife and young but already liberal kids. Conservatize Me will strike a powerful chord with millions of disgruntled Americans ready for a fresh, humorous, and highly entertaining look at our country's political landscape. Will Moe end up getting a Dick Cheney tattoo and swearing loyalty to the Christian Coalition? Will he get a Dennis Kucinich tattoo and dedicate his life to cooking vegan food at protest rallies? Listen and find out. Language: English. Narrator: John Moe. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/harp/001337/bk_harp_001337_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    Irrungen, Wirrungen, Hörbuch, Digital, 328min
    Bei einer Bootspartie lernen sich der Adlige Baron Botho von Rienäcker und die junge Näherin Lene Nimptsch kennen. Bald verlieben sie sich ineinander, doch einiges steht ihrer Liebe im Wege: Der Baron ist bereits seiner Cousine Käthe von Sellenthin versprochen. Für einige Empörung beim Lesepublikum sorgte der Roman "Irrungen, Wirrungen" von Theodor Fontane, dem herausragendsten Vertreter des bürgerlichen Realismus, bei seinem Erscheinen im Jahre 1887 in der Vossischen Zeitung. Theodor Fontane (1819-1898) war ein deutscher Schriftsteller und gilt als bedeutendster deutscher Vertreter des Realismus. Er wurde als Sohn des Apothekers Louis Henry Fontane und Emilie Fontane geb. Labry in Neuruppin geboren. Fontane brach er die Ausbildung an der Gewerbeschule ab und begann eine Ausbildung zum Apotheker. Später in seinem Leben entschied er sich den Apothekerberuf völlig aufzugeben und als freier Schriftsteller zu leben. Seine erste Novelle "Geschwisterliebe" veröffentlichte Fontane 1839. In seinen Romanen, die großenteils erst nach seinem 60. Lebensjahr entstanden, charakterisiert er die Figuren, indem er ihre Erscheinung, ihre Umgebung und vor allem ihre Redeweise aus einer kritisch-liebevollen Distanz genau beschreibt. deutsch.
