    Speak Some Spanish , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 259min
    Speak Some Spanish is ideal for an informal class or for self-study. It provides a solid grammatical foundation within a useful context, extensive vocabulary, and avenues for developing communication skills. While grammar is explained throughout, the book is designed around communication needs, language usage, useful topics, such as greetings, coping in a conversation, weather, telling time, directions, descriptions, and ways to speak of past, present, and future actions. Verbs, often a source of dismay for language learners, are presented in a unique way. Their mastery is made much simpler; no longer is there the challenge or tedium of memorizing conjugations. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: A. J. Morrison.

    Cycling to Dongola: A Memoir , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 303min
    At the age of 69, Jonas Barter embarks on an inspiring adventure to celebrate retirement and reassure himself that the old body in the mirror is still friends with the younger guy in the head. This quest becomes the story of a 2,000 km bicycle trip in Northern Africa. Along the way, in addition to the descriptions of remarkable places and improbable events, he drums up childhood memories, composes quirky short stories, writes lyrical poems (sometimes, as songs in this audiobook version), and presents moving perspectives on mundane things such as pain, tedium, history, skin, hair, wilderness, religion, and old age. It is a charmingly funny reflection on what makes us travel and what brings us home. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jonas Barter.

    The Ballad of Reading Gaol , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 29min
    Something was dead in each of us,And what was dead was Hope. In this moving poetic study of his experiences in the Victorian penal system, Wilde relates the relentlessness and tedium of prison life, and of the haunted thoughts which trouble these "souls in agony" within their "numbered tombs". Oscar Wilde wrote "The Ballad of Reading Gaol" while in exile in France in 1897, following his two-year imprisonment at the establishment. During his incarceration, a former trooper in the Royal Horse Guards, Charles Thomas Woolridge, was convicted of the murder of his wife and hanged at the Gaol. This event is central to the poem's narrative. Wilde dedicated the piece to Woolridge. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Rob Goll.

    Therese Raquin , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 401min
    In a dingy apartment on the Passage du Pont-Neuf in Paris, Thérèse Raquin is trapped in a loveless marriage to her sickly cousin, Camille. The numbing tedium of her life is suddenly shattered when she embarks on a turbulent affair with her husband's earthy friend, Laurent. But their passion for each other soon compels the lovers to commit a crime that will haunt them forever.Thérèse Raquin caused a scandal when it appeared in 1867 and brought its 27-year-old author a notoriety that followed him throughout his life.
