"When all other trusts fail, turn to Flashman." (Abraham LincoIn) In China, in 1860, a lot of people mistakenly put their trust in Flashman: the English vicar’s daughter with her cargo of opium; Lord Elgin in search of an intelligence chief; the Emperor’s ravishing concubine, seeking a champion in her struggles for power; and Szu-Zhan, the female bandit colossus, as practised in the arts of love as in the arts of war. They were not to know that behind his Victoria Cross, Harry Flashman was a base coward and a charlatan. They took him at face value. And he took them, for all he could, while China seethed through the bloodiest civil war in history and the British and French armies hacked their way to the heart of the Forbidden City.… Language: English.

    Flashman: Flashman, Book 1, Hörbuch, Digital, 350min
    Harry Flashman - the unrepentant bully of Tom Brown’s schooldays, now with a Victoria Cross - has three main talents: horsemanship, facility with foreign languages, and fornication. A reluctant military hero, Flashman plays a key part in most of the defining military campaigns of the 19th century, despite trying his utmost to escape them all. Expelled from Rugby for drunkenness, and none too welcome at home after seducing his father’s mistress, the young Flashman embarks on a military career with Lord Cardigan’s Hussars. En route to Afghanistan, our hero hones his skills as a soldier, duellist, imposter, coward, and amorist (mastering all 97 ways of Hindu love-making during a brief sojourn in Calcutta), before being pressed into reluctant service as a secret agent. His Afghan adventures culminate in a starring role in that great historic disaster, the Retreat from Kabul. Language: English. Narrator: Rupert Penry-Jones.

    Flashman: The Flashman Papers, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 598min
    Harry Flashman: the unrepentant bully of Tom Brown's schooldays, now with a Victoria Cross, has three main talents - horsemanship, facility with foreign languages and fornication. A reluctant military hero, Flashman plays a key part in most of the defining military campaigns of the nineteenth century despite trying his utmost to escape them all. Flashman, soldier, duellist, lover, imposter, coward, cad, and hero triumphs in this first installment of The Flashman Papers. His adventures as the reluctant secret agent in Afghanistan and his entry into the exclusive company of Lord Cardigan's Hussars culminate in his foulest hour - his part in the historic disaster of the Retreat from Kabul. This is the story of a blackguard who enjoyed villainy for its own sake. Shameless, exciting, and funny, Flashman's deplorable odyssey is observed with the cynical eye of a scoundrel who was honest only in reporting what he saw. He makes all other black sheep look respectably grey. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Colin Mace. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/hcuk/001946/bk_hcuk_001946_sample.mp3.

    Harry Flashman: the unrepentant bully of Tom Brown's schooldays, now with a Victoria Cross, has three main talents - horsemanship, facility with foreign languages and fornication. A reluctant military hero, Flashman plays a key part in most of the defining military campaigns of the 19th century, despite trying his utmost to escape them all. Celebrated Victorian bounder, cad,and lecher, Sir Harry Flashman, VC, returns to play his (reluctant) part in the charge of the Light Brigade in this installment of the critically acclaimed Flashman Papers. As the British cavalry prepared to launch themselves against the Russian guns at Balaclava, Harry Flashman was petrified. But the Crimea was only the beginning: beyond lay the snowbound wastes of the great Russian slave empire, torture and death, headlong escapes from relentless enemies, savage tribal hordes to the right of him, passionate females to the left of him.... Then, finally, that unknown but desperate war on the roof of the world, when India was the prize, and there was nothing to stop the armed might of Imperial Russia but the wavering sabre and terrified ingenuity of old Flashman himself. ungekürzt.

    Flashman in the Great Game: The Flashman Papers, Book 8 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 740min
    Harry Flashman: the unrepentant bully of Tom Brown's schooldays, now with a Victoria Cross, has three main talents - horsemanship, facility with foreign languages, and fornication. A reluctant military hero, Flashman plays a key part in most of the defining military campaigns of the 19th century, despite trying his utmost to escape them all. What caused the Indian Mutiny? The greased cartridge, religious fanaticism, political blundering, yes - but one hitherto unsuspected factor is now revealed to be the furtive figure who fled across India in 1857 with such frantic haste: Flashman. Plumbing new depths of anxious knavery in his role as secret agent extraordinaire, Flashman saw far more of the Great Mutiny than he wanted. How he survived thugs and tsarist agents, Eastern beauties and cabinet ministers and kept his skin intact is a mystery revealed here in this volume of The Flashman Papers. ungekürzt.

    Flashman und der Engel des Herrn
    Hastig den Rückzug aus dem Boudoir einer Dame anzutreten, wenn man mit einer leichtfertigen jungen Frau in flagranti erwischt wird, wäre eine normale Reaktion, aber wenn sich herausstellt, dass der Ehemann ein hoher Richter ist, dann ist es angesagt, Kalkutta schnell zu verlassen. Und so tritt Flashman eine Reise an, auf der er in Südafrika gekidnappt und nach Amerika verschifft wird. Sein Ziel: eine kleine Stadt in Virginia namens Harper's Ferry, wo John Brown und seine Gruppe von Radikalen planen, den ersten Schuss im Krieg gegen die Sklaverei abzufeuern - mit Harry Flashman in der Rolle des militärischen Beraters. Und wenn John Brown auf Flashman gehört hätte, würde er immer noch marschieren statt im Grab zu verwesen ('John Brown's body lies a-mouldering in the grave').

If only Flashman had got on with his dinner and ignored the handkerchief dropped by a flirtatious hussy in a Calcutta hotel.... Well, American history would have been different, a disastrous civil war might have been avoided, and Flashman himself would have been spared one of the most hair-raising adventures of his misspent life. If only... But alas, the arch-rotter of the Victorian age could never resist the lure of a pretty foot. This latest extract of the Flashman Papers soon finds Flashman careering towards the little Virginian town of Harper's Ferry, where John Brown and his gang of rugged fanatics were to fire the first shot in the great war against slavery. ungekürzt.

    Flashman und der Berg des Lichts
    In diesem neunten Band der Reihe "Die Flashman Manuskripte" muss Harry Flashman, höchst dekorierter Soldat seiner Königin, in den 1. Sikh-Krieg (1845-46 ziehen). Er soll die feindliche Khalsa-Armee im Pandschab ausspionieren, die gegen die Briten und die East India Company in Indien ziehen will, und dort trifft er die schöne Maharani Jeendan, die ihm nicht widerstehen kann und der er zu Willen sein muss. Und dort sieht er auch den Koh-i-Noor-Diamant, der etwas später die Krone der Queen zieren wird - und der dem Buch seinen Titel gibt (Koh-i-Noor = Berg des Lichts). Seinen Drang, den Gefahren aus dem Wege zu gehen, erklärt Flashman so: "Für einen hochdekorierten Helden habe ich mich ziemlich oft ergeben - deshalb bin ich ein lebender hochdekorierter Held geblieben."
