    Sheepwrecked , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 640min
    This journey through the changing seasons at Rowfoot Farm - tupping time in the autumn, winters as wet, bleak and cold here in Cumbria as elsewhere, lambing and the glories of spring, a bucolic, bee-filled Eden Valley summer with its many shows and fairs - will reveal much that you need to know about the countryside, its quirky customs and ways, and most likely a great deal that you don't.They no longer burn witches (not because they're lily-livered, it's just that getting the necessary timber from sustainable forests is a real chore). You'll find nothing here about welly-wanging either. Jackie doesn't wang her wellies, she just gets them muddy. You won't need to, of course, as this book will ensure you experience rural life vicariously and very cleanly.Along the way, Jackie bumps into friends old and new, peeps back over her shoulder every now and then to recall times past, oh and it wouldn't be her if she didn't have the occasional impassioned rant or take the odd pop at the establishment, but rest assured she's quite gentle with them.So join Jackie (and Katie the Lurcher, Blossom the Cob and Rowfoot's many other residents, four- and two-legged) as she recounts the occasional pitfall and many pleasures of running a small farm in one of the most beautiful parts of England. ungekürzt.

    Satantango , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 640min
    From the winner of the 2015 Man Booker International Prize  A dark, haunting masterpiece by the author of The Melancholy of Resistance and Seiobo There Below Now in audio, Satantango, the novel that inspired Béla Tarr’s classic film, is proof that the devil has all the good times. Set in an isolated hamlet, the novel unfolds over the course of a few rain-soaked days. Only a dozen inhabitants remain in the bleak village, rank with the stench of failed schemes, betrayals, failure, infidelity, sudden hopes, and aborted dreams. “Their world,” in the words of the renowned translator George Szirtes is “rough and ready, lost somewhere between the cosmic and tragic, in one small insignificant corner of the cosmos. Theirs is the dance of death.” Into this world comes, it seems, a messiah.... ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Grover Gardner.

    Probation , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 640min
    All it took to destroy Andy Nocera's seemingly perfect life was an anonymous tryst at an Interstate rest area. Sentenced to probation and thrown out by his wife, he spends his week as a traveling salesman, and his weekends at his mother's house where no questions are asked - and no explanations are offered. To clear his record, the State of North Carolina requires Andy to complete one year of therapy without another arrest. He attends his sessions reluctantly at first, struggling to comprehend why he would risk everything. Answers don't come easily, especially in the face of his mother's sudden illness and his repeated failure to live as an openly gay man. But as Andy searches his past, he gets an opportunity to rescue another lost soul-and a chance at a future that is different in every way from the one he had envisioned. With profound honesty, sharp wit, and genuine heart, this debut novel portrays one man's search-for love and passion, acceptance and redemption - and for the courage to really live. "If you're looking for a smart, engaging, witty, sad and unusual book about the complicated nature of family and love, try Tom Mendicino's Probation. You'll be glad you did". (Bart Yates)."Probation is the rare novel that dares to take the listener on a journey through the dark night of the soul. An unflinching look at the dark side of self-discovery, it is ultimately a story of transformation and the worlds of possibilities hidden within each of us". (Michael Thomas Ford) Tom Mendicino spent six raucous years roaming the country and eking out a living in the Sales Department of several New York publishing houses before attending the law school of the University of North Carolina. His stories, some of them excerpts from Probation, have appeared in several recent anthologies. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Paul Boehmer.

    Gullivers Reisen, Hörbuch, Digital, 640min
    In vier Büchern liefert Jonathan Swift vier fiktive Reiseberichte des englischen Schiffsarztes Lemuel Gulliver. Seine abenteuerlichen Reisen führen ihn auf die Insel Liliput, wo er im Vergleich zu den Einwohnern ein Riese ist und zum Helden wird. Die zweite Reise führt ihn auf die Insel Brobdingnag, und dort ist Gulliver nun der Zwerg zwischen riesenhaften Ureinwohnern, die den Winzling Gulliver als Attraktion bestaunen. Obwohl er viele Gefahren nur knapp überlebt, geht Gulliver erneut auf Reisen und gelangt auf die fliegende Insel Laputa. Hier sind die Einwohner gebildet, aber auf absurde Art unmenschlich. Die letzte Reise schließlich bringt Gulliver zu den Yahoos, äußerst hässlichen Affenwesen, und den Houyhnhnms, noblen Wesen in Pferdegestalt. Letztere nehmen Gulliver leider nicht bei sich auf, und so kehrt er zurück nach England. Die Phantasie-Orte und ihre absurden Bevölkerungen benutzt Swift, um der englischen Politik und Gesellschaft "auf Umwegen" den Spiegel vorzuhalten. Korrupte Politiker, größenwahnsinnige Staatsoberhäupter, weltfremde Wissenschaftler, aber auch die unappetitlicheren Seiten der "ganz normalen" Menschen werden hier schonungslos vorgeführt. Jonathan Swift, heute als exzellenter Satiriker gefeiert, wurde für seine beißende Gesellschaftskritik von einigen Zeitgenossen heftig angegriffen. Jonathan Swift, 1667-1745 war ein anglo-irischer Schriftsteller, der heute zu den großen Klassikern der Weltliteratur gehört. Von 1689-94 war er Privatsekretär des britischen Schriftstellers Sir William Temple in England, danach anglikanischer Geistlicher und stieg bis zum Dekan von St. Patricks in Dublin auf. Mit seinen bissigen und mitreißenden Satiren bekämpfte er gesellschaftliche und kirchliche Missstände. deutsch. Marit Beyer. https://samples.audible.de/bk/lind/002778/bk_lind_002778_sample.mp3.
