    Mãn , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 185min
    Following on the Giller Prize-nominated and Governor General's Literary Award-winning success of Ru, Kim Thúy's latest novel is a triumph of poetic beauty and a moving meditation on how love and food are inextricably entwined. Mãn has three mothers: the one who gives birth to her in wartime, the nun who plucks her from a vegetable garden, and her beloved Maman, who becomes a spy to survive. Seeking security for her grown daughter, Maman finds Mãn a husband - a lonely Vietnamese restaurateur who lives in Montreal. Thrown into a new world, Mãn discovers her natural talent as a chef. Gracefully she practices her art, with food as her medium. She creates dishes that are much more than sustenance for the body: they evoke memory and emotion, time and place, and even bring her customers to tears. Mãn is a mystery - her name means "perfect fulfillment", yet she and her husband seem to drift along, respectfully and dutifully. But when she encounters a married chef in Paris, everything changes in the instant of a fleeting touch, and Mãn discovers the all-encompassing obsession and ever-present dangers of a love affair. Full of indelible images of beauty, delicacy and quiet power, Mãn is a novel that begs to be savoured for its language, its sensuousness and its love of life. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Inheritance , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 185min
    Lynette Cook knows about abuse. She learned it from her father and, later, had the lessons reinforced by the boyfriend she thought was her savior. Free at last from her own tormentors, Lynette now lives with her teenage daughter, Kari, in a small town in Oklahoma. Then one day she comes home from the grocery store to find her daughter's boyfriend and his two buddies raping Kari. Blinded by rage, Lynette shoots one of the boys and locks the other two in her storm cellar. Lynette surprises herself with the ease with which she disposes of the body during a record rainy season and smoothly lies to investigating police. But in the days that follow, Lynette must face the fact that her torture of the two captive boys is as cruel as the treatment she received at the hands of her father and ex-husband. Meanwhile, the date-rape drug has worn off, and Kari is wondering why her boyfriend won't return her calls. She has unfocused memories of partying with him and his friends and, although she can't pinpoint why, she blames her mom for whatever happened next that is keeping them apart. As Kari's memory sharpens, Lynette's unrelenting rage against men drives her to an ever-darker state of mind - until finally Kari learns the grisly truth. In a final showdown between mother, daughter, and boyfriend, a choice has to be made. Who will inherit the title of victim? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Ed Wolfe.

    Gideon Gideon , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 185min
    Gideon Gideon is a multidimensional voyage of the soul through a whirling fusion of past, present and future; exploring the illusion of death, transfiguration...and the mysteries of the quantum. Transpiring in simultaneous locations, similar to a dreamscape, always symbolic, but seemingly real; bringing into question death itself, and whether one moves into another dimension without realizing they are gone, and therefore never seeming to perish...within the duality of creation and destruction, the polar opposites in space time reality. All the while the entire cinematic kaleidoscope of images is overseen with the periodic narration of a dark cosmic entity, full of wrath, dark humor and an aspect of Divinity - fuming from a fifth dimension. It is said in some ancient wisdom, the masters of sound control the universe: the power of the word made flesh in Genesis, the truths of music and mathematics, the universal language...and last but not least the power of love - the Light. In Gideon Gideon, all the above descend upon an eclectic group of souls, in sometimes ordinary and other times extraordinary happenstance. It is centered upon Martin, the "gordy man", a jazz trumpet player, a cynical searcher of some spiritual truth, and Dr. Ahasuerus, a Faustian Persian mystic and businessman, and the struggle between the appearance of Good...and the subtle as well as the not so subtle manipulations of Evil, as Ahasuerus seeks to ensnare Martin, his trusted friend Mr. McPhee, and others in the quest to secure the head of John the Baptist. Gideon Gideon is a serial novel, of which this is Volume I, leading to Volume II. ungekürzt.

    England: 1655.  A nation reeling from the turmoil of bloody civil war. An island in the iron grip of Oliver Cromwell's Protectorate.  The forces of King Charles have been utterly defeated. The sovereign is dead, his supporters beaten, humiliated, and scattered.  But it is not just former Cavaliers who find themselves hounded by the new regime. Many of those who fought for Parliament have fallen foul of the oppressive rule of the Major-Generals.  One such man is Major Samson Lyle: Roundhead, outlaw, fugitive. Forced into exile after a dispute with the ruling elite, he has returned, intent on waging war against those now in command. Skilled with pistol and blade, Lyle takes the fight onto the busy roads south of the capital, forging a formidable reputation as a notorious highwayman.  Along with his trusted young ward Bella, and Eustace Grumm, an irascible former smuggler, Lyle dodges the ever-present threat of capture to menace those against whom he has sworn revenge. But when the robbery of a powerful lawyer alerts Lyle to the imprisonment of a former comrade, the Major is plunged into a dangerous game of intrigue and deceit that may finally prove his undoing. And he must tread carefully, for Parliament have dispatched their own man to hunt the elusive outlaw.  The villainous Colonel Francis Maddocks is tracking Lyle's every move, and soon he will come face to face with the Ironside Highwayman.  Highwayman: Ironside is a thrilling novella, which blends together action and intrigue. For fans of Bernard Cornwell, Conn Iggulden and Simon Scarrow.  ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Michael Arnold.

    Abschied von Sidonie, Hörbuch, Digital, 185min
    Am achtzehnten August 1933 entdeckte der Pförtner des Krankenhauses von Steyr ein schlafendes Kind. Neben dem Säugling, der in Lumpen gewickelt war, lag ein Stück Papier, auf dem mit ungelenker Schrift geschrieben stand: "Ich heiße Sidonie Adlersburg und bin geboren auf der Straße nach Altheim. Bitte um Eltern." Erich Hackl ist einem unerhörten, jahrzehntelang verschwiegenen Fall nachgegangen; in einer knappen, präzisen Sprache erzählt Hackl das bewegende Schicksal Sidonies, ihr kurzes Glück bei den Pflegeeltern und deren verzweifelte Bemühungen, das Kind vor dem ihm zugedachten Ende zu bewahren. "Abschied von Sidonie" ist nicht nur eine Chronik der Gewalt, von "Trägheit des Herzens" und Bestialität des Anstands, sondern auch eine Liebeserklärung an Menschen, die in großen wie in kleinen Zeiten Mitgefühl und Selbstachtung vor falsch verstandene Pflichterfüllung gestellt haben. Zugleich gibt das Buch einen tiefen Einblick in den Zustand eines Landes und seiner Bewohner, zeigt, was möglich war und was wirklich wurde, und was davon geblieben ist. deutsch.
