    The Scandal of Father Brown , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 321min
    Father Brown, G. K. Chesterton's lovable little Norfolk priest, has an uncanny knack of unraveling mysteries that leave lesser mortals floundering. His sympathetic understanding of human nature never deserts him, even when he himself is touched by a breath of scandal, thanks to the hasty conclusions of a crusading newspaperman. In this collection, Father Brown uses his distinctive style of deduction to solve the seemingly insoluble. As well as the title story, the other puzzles include: The Quick One, The Blast of the Book, The Green Man, The Pursuit of Mr Blue, The Point of a Pin and The Vampire of the Village. ungekürzt.

Und so macht sich Jordan auf die Suche nach Antworten... bis er eines Tages den Mut aufbringt, den Mann zu besuchen, der am Ende ihrer Straße wohnt; von dem aber so gut wie niemand etwas weiß. Und diese Begegnung ist es, die Jonathans Leben nachhaltig verändert. Denn der Druide zeigt ihm, dass es auch noch eine andere Sicht der Dinge gibt; und erklärt ihm das Leben mithilfe von 9 Tarot-Karten, die dem Jungen eine Geschichte, und nicht zuletzt auch eine Weisheit, zuraunen... deutsch.

    Frankenstein, or The Modern Prometheus , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 522min
    Dr. Victor Frankenstein, an ambitious young scientist, is consumed by a fanatic desire to create a living being. He fashions an eight-foot-tall creature and succeeds in animating him, but, horrified by his visage, perceives his creation to be a monster and frightens him away. The monster, wandering in search of human companionship, is spurned and repulsed by all he approaches and learns to hate and to kill. He confronts his maker with a terrible choice: unless Frankenstein creates for him a mate, he will go on a rampage of destruction. Frankenstein, a masterpiece of 19th-century Gothic horror and considered to be the first science-fiction novel, is a subversive tale about the corrupt tendencies in humanity's most "civilized" ambitions. ungekürzt.

    The Claverings , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1231min
    At the opening of The Claverings (1866) the beautiful Julia Brabazon jilts her lover Harry Clavering in order to make a marriage of convenience with a wealthy but dissolute earl. Harry licks his wounds, leaves London to train as a civil engineer, and falls in love with his employer's daughter, to whom he soon becomes engaged. But when Julia returns unexpectedly as a wealthy widow, the flame of Harry's old love is rekindled.   In his depiction of this quintessential love triangle, Anthony Trollope digs deep into the psychological make-up of a wonderful array of flawed characters: emotionally strong, determined women whose only prospects depend on making an advantageous marriage; a weak-willed, vacillating anti-hero who in a moment of weakness makes an impossible promise; and a memorable cast of secondary characters, from a suspected Russian spy and a feckless gambler to a zealous evangelical clergyman. ungekürzt.

    Eternal Chalice: The Grail in Literature and Legend , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 450min
    The goal of this course is to provide an overview of the many different ways writers of fiction and nonfiction have imagined, and reimagined, the object known as the Grail. We'll look at how the Grail was invented as a powerful literary symbol in the late 12th and early 13th centuries by a group of medieval romancers who celebrated the Grail as a symbol of perfection. At times, this perfection was social, and the Grail functioned as a symbol of the perfect knight or of the ideal chivalric society. Most often, however, the Grail's perfection was unmistakably religious, so that it was indeed the Holy Grail, a symbol of God's perfect love, grace, wisdom, and joy. After being ignored for centuries, the Grail was rediscovered in the 19th century by both poets and scholars, who radically reinvented what the Grail stood for. Now, at the beginning of the 21st century, the Grail fascinates many who search for the perfect spiritual wisdom it promises. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Professor Monica Potkay.

    Geistergeschichten: Die dunklen Fälle des Harry Dresden 13, Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1157min
    Harry Dresden war schon vieles: Chicagos einziger Berufsmagier, Hüter des Weißen Rates, Gefäß der Seele eines gefallenen Engels, Bewahrer der Schwerter des Kreuzes und Verderben aller, die Unschuldigen schaden und die Welt versklaven wollen. Aber tot war er bislang noch nie... Zu Lebzeiten hat man auf Harry geschossen, eingestochen, ihn verprügelt, geschnitten, verbrannt, gequetscht und gefoltert. Doch als jemand ihm eine Kugel in die Brust jagt und ihn im Lake Michigan zum Sterben liegen lässt, sieht es wirklich schlecht für ihn aus. Doch selbst gefangen in der Grauzone zwischen Leben und Tod findet Harry keine Ruhe. Er erfährt, dass drei seiner Freunde unvorstellbare Marter und Qual erleiden sollen. Nur indem er seinen Mörder zur Rechenschaft zieht, kann er das verhindern und selbst weiter kommen was viel leichter wäre, wenn er einen Körper und Zugang zu seinen Kräften hätte. Doch so muss Harry als Geist agieren, ohne mit der stofflichen Welt interagieren zu können, unsichtbar und unhörbar für die meisten Menschen.

    The Nurses: A Year of Secrets, Drama, and Miracles with the Heroes of the Hospital , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 652min
    Nursing is more than a career; it's a calling and one of the most important, fascinating, and dangerous professions in the world. As the frontline responders battling traumas, illnesses, and aggression from surprising sources, nurses are remarkable. Yet contemporary literature largely neglects them. In The Nurses, New York Times best-selling author and award-winning journalist Alexandra Robbins peers behind the staff-only door to write a lively, fast-paced story and a riveting work of investigative journalism. Robbins followed real-life nurses in four hospitals and interviewed hundreds of others in a captivating audiobook filled with joy and violence, miracles and heartbreak, dark humor and narrow victories, gripping drama and unsung heroism. Alexandra Robbins creates sympathetic, engaging characters while diving deep into their world of controlled chaos - the hazing ("nurses eat their young"); sex (not exactly like on TV, but it happens more often than you think); painkiller addiction (disproportionately a problem among the best and brightest); and bullying (by doctors, patients, and others). The result is a riveting story possessing all the twists and turns of a brilliantly told narrative - and a shocking, unvarnished examination of our health care system. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Alexandra Robbins. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/hach/002555/bk_hach_002555_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.
