  Please, Mister Postman , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 562min

  In July 1969, while the Rolling Stones played a free concert in Hyde Park, Alan Johnson and his young family left West London to start a new life. The Britwell Estate in Slough, apparently notorious among the locals, in fact came as a blessed relief after the tensions of Notting Hill, and the local community welcomed them with open arms. Alan had become a postman the previous year, and in order to support his growing family took on every bit of overtime he could, often working 12-hour shifts six days a week. It was hard work, but not without its compensations - the crafty fag snatched in a country lane, the farmer’s wife offering a hearty breakfast and even the mysterious lady on Glebe Road who appeared daily, topless, at her window as the postman passed by.…Please, Mister Postman paints a vivid picture of England in the 1970s, where no celebration was complete without a Party Seven of Watney’s Red Barrel, smoking was the norm rather than the exception, and Sunday lunchtime was about beer, bingo, and cribbage. But as Alan’s life appears to be settling down and his career in the Union of Postal Workers begins to take off, his close-knit family is struck once again by tragedy.… Moving, hilarious and unforgettable, Please, Mister Postman is another astonishing book from the award-winning author of This Boy. ungekürzt.

  Dave Gorman Vs The Rest of the World , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 520min

  Remember when you were a kid, and you used to go round to a friend's house to see if they were playing? Well, as adults we're not supposed to do that. Which is a shame... because Dave Gorman likes playing. He REALLY likes games. So he knocked on the biggest door you could ever imagine - the internet - and asked 76,000 people if they fancied a game. This is the story of what happened next. Dave was up for anything and gamely played them at whatever they chose. He played some classics - Monopoly, Scrabble, dominoes and cribbage. He played many games he'd never heard of before - Khet, Kubb, Tikal or Smite anyone? He played board games and physical games. He's thrown sticks, balls, frisbees and darts. He's rolled dice and he's drawn cards. From Liverpool to Hampstead and from Croydon to Nottingham, Dave travelled the length and breadth of Britain meeting strangers in strange places -- their homes, at work, in the back rooms of pubs -- and getting some hard-core game action. From casual players to serious game geeks, from the rank amateur to the world champion, he discovered a nation of gamers more than happy to welcome him into their midst. He's travelled all around the country and met all sorts of people - and it turns out us Brits are a competitive bunch! And it seems that playing games can teach you a lot about what makes the British tick. Of course, Dave hasn't been keeping score. Much. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Dave Gorman.

  Grandpere , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 448min

  Anzel, a widow in her 60s, lives quietly on her small farm with her grandfather, a Carrier elder from Northern BC. Grandpre and Anzel pass the time playing fierce cribbage games, cutting firewood and tending the vegetable garden. As the days pass Grandpre tells his life story, sharing heart-breaking memories: the death of his family in a devastating epidemic, his son's murder at the hands of a horse thief, and his battle and eventual triumph over alcohol. When their extended family visits on holidays and weekends, Grandpre - with the tenderness of an elder - tells the children of the Carrier traditions and values. Their days together are happy and simple, and when Anzel meets Jim, a caretaker at the local pensioner's home, life seems complete again. But one day a taxi arrives from town. Its passenger is Angel, a frightened 13-year-old stranger who claims to be Anzel's granddaughter. Her father, she says, was Anzel's youngest son Ben, who was killed in a car crash 14 years prior. Angel's mother, alone and pregnant with Ben's child, ran away to the city to raise the child far from the disapproving eyes of her family. But after years of poverty and loneliness, she succumbed to the streets of Vancouver. Angel, neglected and abused at the hands of her mother's new boyfriend, follows the trail to her father's family. When Anzel takes in this unknown granddaughter, she and her family must act quickly to protect her. Romain's first novel, Grandpere is a tender story of determination, loss, and family love. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Laural Merlington.

By interact I mean fallout, squabble and battle usually over petty incidents, often with raw realism. Other times they party, laugh and joke with these same people. They attend special events such as holidays, high days and award nights, and their wives play Bingo while the guys are indulging in their activities. In lots of these activities incidents arise, often resulting in comical farce. A weekend in Blackpool to attend the Waterloo, the 'Wembley Cup Final of Crown Green Bowls', results in hilarious incidents from start to finish.Dutch, a member of this group, is deemed to be a semi-hero at the club and everywhere else that he's known, also carrying this status at work. He is the main protagonist of this story and a workmate of the narrator. At work he would frequently spin yarns regarding his exploits - usually of a triumphant sexual encounter, sometimes with disastrous conclusions but more often than not with comical overtones. His life is always at full tilt and this is extremely exciting to the narrator.He begins to experience a medical problem, which seems to worsen over time and curtail his adventures. Then a large amount of Money gets filched from a Bank, supposedly by a former bowls player who has now gone missing. The story ends in a surprising complex unusual way and all mysteries are revealed in the Epilogue. Or are they?

  Entirely Surrounded , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 286min

  It is 1934. Red-headed Henry Cook, fresh out of Amherst and excited about working on his first book at an infamous writers' colony, arrives at the Vermont island retreat at the invitation of its owner, Thaddeus Hulbert, a boisterous, bellowing, bloviated curmudgeon, whose reputation as a novelist, columnist, and radio commentator has vaulted him to national prominence. Additional island guests include Clarence Fitch, the editor of a prominent New York magazine; Agnes Sterner, an elegant, mature woman, also an author and close friend of Hulbert's; Daisy Lester, a nationally-known nightclub singer also known by Hulbert and friends to be a heavy drinker if not watched carefully; and Leith O'Fallon, an artist, writer, and liberal cause protester for whom Henry falls hard. Among the supporting characters are Mr. Veitch, the slow-drawling Vermonter who navigates the mail boat to and from the island, and Jenny, the shrieking housekeeper and cook who tends - genially if not loudly - to the needs of Hulbert's guests. Entirely Surrounded is a slightly venomous roman à clef poking satirically at the habits of several of the Algonquin Round Table notables: Alexander Woollcott (Hulbert), Alice Duer Miller (Sterner), Dorothy Parker (Lester), Harold Ross of the New Yorker (Fitch), and Neysa McMein, popular magazine cover illustrator (O'Fallon). The novel's author and narrator, Charles Brackett (Cook), had been a regular at the Algonquin for several years before leaving for Hollywood at the peak of the group's notoriety. Through Entirely Surrounded, Brackett deconstructs the Round Table's core elite and re-assembles them on their lake encircled hideaway to endure each other's company, play croquet, backgammon, cribbage, and anagrams, all under the withering snide and cutting bombasts of their host, Hulbert. The story's narrator, Henry Cook, is the mean gang's naïve foil, surrounded as he is by the idols of his literary dreams, vip ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: C. James Moore.
