Venice, Hörbuch, Digital, 316min
Venice stands, as she loves to tell you, on the frontiers of the east and west, half-way between the setting and the rising sun. Goethe calls her "the market-place of the Morning and the Evening lands". Certainly no city on earth gives a more immediate impression of symmetry and unity, or seems more patently born to greatness. So Jan Morris remarks, with graceful literary distinction, on the qualities that have made Venice a unique place among the world’s great destinations. She has known it intimately for over six decades. She knows its history, its carvings, its idiosyncrasies, its weather, and all the Doges of the past. She returns even now, never tiring of this "dappled city, tremulous and flickering". She first wrote Venice in praise of it 50 years ago and has revised the book three times. To open this premiere audiobook recording, Jan Morris reads a personal introduction which perfectly distils a lifetime’s fascination with La Serenissima.

Heimsuchung, Hörbuch, Digital, 316min
Die Autorin liest ihre Geschichte: von einem Haus am See - und wie ein ganzes Jahrhundert in ihm wütet. Ein Haus an einem märkischen See: Es ist der Schauplatz für fünfzehn Lebensläufe, Geschichten, Schicksale von den Zwanzigerjahren bis heute. Das Haus und seine Bewohner erleben die Weimarer Republik, das Dritte Reich, den Krieg und dessen Ende, die DDR, die Wende und die Zeit der Nachwende. Jedem einzelnen Schicksal gibt Jenny Erpenbeck eine eigene literarische Form, jedes entfaltet auf ganz eigene Weise seine Dramatik, seine Tragik, sein Glück. Alle zusammen bilden ein Panorama des letzten Jahrhunderts, das verstört, beglückt, verunsichert und versöhnt. Die Autorin Jenny Erpenbeck liest ihren eindrucksvollen, poetisch verdichteten Roman selbst - ein Hörerlebnis höchster Intensität. deutsch.

David Copperfield, Hörbuch, Digital, 316min
This much-loved novel was, by Dickens' own admission, his 'favorite child'. It is easy to see why, with its colorful characters ranging from the repulsive Uriah Heep to the endlessly improvident Micawbers, and dominated throughout by the moving story of David's search for a family and a home.

Der Gotteswahn, Hörbuch, Digital, 316min
Der Evolutionsbiologe Richard Dawkins, einer der einflussreichsten Intellektuellen der Gegenwart, hat einen Bestseller geschrieben, der bestehende Weltbilder grundsätzlich in Frage stellt. In diesem leidenschaftlichen Plädoyer für die Vernunft zieht er gegen die Religion zu Felde: Der Glaube an eine übernatürliche Macht kann keine Grundlage für das Verständnis der Welt sein und schon gar keine Erklärung für ihre Entstehung. Wenn wir die Kritik an den Religionen zum Tabu erklären, laufen wir Gefahr, von Fundamentalisten jedweder Couleur dominiert zu werden. Der Glaube an ein göttliches Wesen ist vielfach die Ursache von Terror und Zerstörung, wie die Weltgeschichte von der Inquisition bis zu den Anschlägen auf die Twin Towers zeigt. Ein wichtiges Buch, das zu einem brennend aktuellen Thema eindeutig und überzeugend Position bezieht. deutsch.

Wander , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 316min

Their friendship offers a glimpse of a different kind of life - one that seems to Pete to offer everything marriage to the country-raised Nate does not. But unbeknown to Pete, Ren has come to Alaska for his own dark reason - to end his life. By the time Nate returns home, their lives have been irrevocably changed.

Democracy , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 316min
Inez Victor knows that the major casualty of the political life is memory. But the people around Inez have made careers out of losing track. Her senator husband wants to forget the failure of his last bid for the presidency. Her husband's handler would like the press to forget that Inez's father is a murderer. And, in 1975, the year in which much of this bitterly funny novel is set, America is doing its best to lose track of its one-time client, the lethally hemorrhaging republic of South Vietnam. As conceived by Joan Didion, these personages and events constitute the terminal fallout of democracy, a fallout that also includes fact-finding junkets, senatorial groupies, the international arms market, and the Orwellian newspeak of the political class. Moving deftly from Honolulu to Jakarta, between romance, farce, and tragedy, Democracy is a tour de force from a writer who can dissect an entire society with a single phrase. ungekürzt.
