    The Hotel Years
    The hotel that I love like a fatherland is situated in one of the great port cities of Europe, and the heavy gold Antiqua letters in which its banal name is spelled out shining across the roofs of the gently banked houses are in my eye metal flags, metal bannerets that instead of fluttering shine out their greeting.In the 1920s and 30s, Joseph Roth travelled extensively in Europe, leading a peripatetic life living in hotels and writing about the towns through which he passed. Incisive, nostalgic, curious and sharply observed - and collected together here for the first time - his pieces paint a picture of a continent racked by change yet clinging to tradition. From the 'compulsive' exercise regime of the Albanian army, the rickety industry of the new oil capital of Galicia, and 'split and scalped' houses of Tirana forced into modernity, to the individual and idiosyncratic characters that Roth encounters in his hotel stays, these tender and quietly dazzling vignettes form a series of literary postcards written from a bygone world, creeping towards world war.

    Stillborn , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 275min
    Carl Harper, a teacher living in South Dakota, has done just about everything possible to escape his past. Unknown to his friends, his colleagues, and his students, Carl was once the depraved frontman of the needlessly controversial British punk band Stillborn. When Jessica Millar turns up to her Saturday detention, fresh from her vacation in England, she is wearing one of Stillborn's T-shirts, and slowly but surely the rickety shack of lies and self-deception Carl has made from himself crumbles to the ground. What follows is a story of terrible music, worse drugs, attempted murderer, successful manslaughter, and plenty of bad language. What follows, in short, is a story that most certainly should not be shared with an impressionable 16-year-old girl and the consequences for his little confessional prove dire. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Harry Frost. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/161434/bk_acx0_161434_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.
