    The Red Word , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 707min
    A smart, dark, and take-no-prisoners look at rape culture and the extremes to which ideology can go, The Red Word is a campus novel like no other. As her sophomore year begins, Karen enters into the back-to-school revelry - particularly at a fraternity called GBC. When she wakes up one morning on the lawn of Raghurst, a house of radical feminists, she gets a crash course in the state of feminist activism on campus. GBC is notorious, she learns, nicknamed "Gang Bang Central" and a prominent contributor to a list of date rapists compiled by female students. Despite continuing to party there and dating one of the brothers, Karen is equally seduced by the intellectual stimulation and indomitable spirit of the Raghurst women, who surprise her by wanting her as a housemate and recruiting her into the upper-level class of a charismatic feminist mythology scholar they all adore. As Karen finds herself caught between two increasingly polarized camps, ringleader housemate Dyann believes she has hit on the perfect way to expose and bring down the fraternity as a symbol of rape culture - but the war between the houses will exact a terrible price. ungekürzt.

    The Last Unicorn: A Search for One of Earth's Rarest Creatures , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 754min
    An award-winning author's stirring quest to find and understand an elusive and exceptionally rare species in the heart of Southeast Asia's jungles. In 1992, in a remote mountain range, a team of scientists discovered the remains of an unusual animal with beautiful, long horns. It turned out to be a living species new to Western science - a saola, the first large land mammal discovered in 50 years. Rare then and rarer now, no Westerner had glimpsed a live saola in the wild before Pulitzer Prize finalist and nature writer William deBuys and conservation biologist William Robichaud set off to search for it in the wilds of central Laos. The team endured a punishing trek, up and down whitewater rivers and through mountainous terrain ribboned with the snare lines of armed poachers. In the tradition of Bruce Chatwin, Colin Thubron, and Peter Matthiessen, The Last Unicorn is deBuys' look deep into one of the world's most remote places. As in the pursuit of the unicorn, the journey ultimately becomes a quest for the essence of wildness in nature and an encounter with beauty.

    Hetzjagd auf Bull: Perry Rhodan 2960, Hörbuch, Digital, 244min
    Der Techno-Mahdi ist am Zug - er will die Unsterblichen ausschalten Gut dreitausend Jahre in der Zukunft: Perry ­Rhodan hat nach wie vor die Vision, die Milchstraße in eine Sterneninsel ohne Kriege zu verwandeln. Der Mann von der Erde, der einst die ­Menschen zu den Sternen führte, möchte endlich Frieden in der Galaxis haben. Unterschwellig herrschen zwar Konflikte zwischen den großen Sternenreichen, aber man ­arbeitet zusammen. Das gilt nicht nur für die von Menschen bewohnten Planeten und Monde. Tausende von Welten haben sich zur Liga Freier ­Galaktiker zusammengeschlossen, Besucher aus anderen Galaxien suchen Kontakt zu den Menschen und ihren Verbündeten. Derzeit machen vor allem die Thoogondu aus der Galaxis Sevcooris von sich reden, die vor Jahrzehntausenden ein Sternenreich in der Milchstraße hatten. Dazu gesellen sich die Gemeni, die angeblich den Frieden im Auftrag einer Super­intelligenz namens GESHOD wahren wollen. Ohne Vorwarnung erobern die fürchterlich aussehenden Xumushan das Sonnensystem und besetzen die Erde - diese Invasion ist allerdings eine reine Erfindung, eine Täuschung der Menschen und ihrer Rechnersysteme. Wer steckt dahinter? Reginald Bull, Perry Rhodans Gefährte seit der Mondlandung, steht im Zentrum der Ereignisse. Der sogenannte Techno-Mahdi scheint die Erde ins Chaos stürzen zu wollen. Nachdem Bull dies erkannt hat, bläst der Gegner zur HETZJAGD AUF BULL... In deiner Audible-Bibliothek findest du für dieses Hörerlebnis eine PDF-Datei mit zusätzlichem Material. deutsch.

    Outback Stations: The Life and Times of Australia's Biggest Cattle and Sheep Properties , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 647min
    From the helicopter I could see the property's waterholes surrounded by paperbark trees, its red-stone cliffs lit by the rising sun. And grass, endless seas of grass. Here was the vision splendid: Nat Buchanan's grass castle. Gurindji country. And my country, Australia. This is big country, the outback, home to the largest cattle and sheep stations in the world. Yet as these properties are closed to visitors, few of us know what goes on behind the farm gate. So what's life really like when next door is 500 kilometres away, and mustering livestock in their tens of thousands, backbreaking physical labour, and dealing with extreme heat and long hours is all in a day's work? And why would these tough stockmen and women not have it any other way? Best-selling author Evan McHugh gets behind the wheel of his four-wheel drive to find out. Given special access to these properties, Evan goes behind the scenes at Adria Downs in the dead heart of Central Australia, helps drove cattle from the air at Wave Hill, and gets a lesson in trapping dingoes at the remote Commonwealth Hill station. Following in the footsteps of the pioneering greats, Evan reveals the fascinating history of these outback stations, and what it takes to work on one today. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    A Decent Ride , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 849min
    A rampaging force of nature is wreaking havoc on the streets of Edinburgh, but has top shagger, drug dealer, gonzo-porn star and taxi driver ‘Juice’ Terry Lawson finally met his match in Hurricane ‘Bawbag’?Can Terry discover the fate of the missing beauty, Jinty Magdalen, and keep her idiot-savant lover, the man-child Wee Jonty, out of prison? Will he find out the real motives of unscrupulous American businessman and reality-TV star Ronald Checker?And, crucially, will Terry be able to negotiate life after a terrible event robs him of his sexual virility, and can a new fascination for the game of golf help him to live without...a decent ride? A Decent Ride sees Irvine Welsh back on home turf, leaving us in the capable hands of one of his most compelling and popular characters, ‘Juice’ Terry Lawson, and introducing another bound for cult status, Wee Jonty MacKay: a man with the genitals and brain of a donkey. In his funniest, filthiest book yet, Irvine Welsh celebrates an unreconstructed misogynist hustler - a central character who is shameless but also, oddly, decent - and finds new ways of making wild comedy out of fantastically dark material, taking on some of the last taboos. So fasten your seatbelts, because this is one ride that could certainly get a little bumpy.... ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Tam Dean Burn.

We're just not growing. This is the real stuff of work today. In the decade since their international best seller Winning was published, Jack and Suzy Welch have dug deeper into the world of business than ever before , travelling the world, consulting to businesses of every size and in every industry, working closely with entrepreneurs from Mumbai to Silicon Valley, starting their own company, and owning and managing more than 40 companies through private equity.

    Jurgen , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 569min
    Award-winning author, narrator, and screenwriter Neil Gaiman personally selected this book, and, using the tools of the Audiobook Creation Exchange (ACX), cast the narrator and produced this work for his audiobook label, Neil Gaiman Presents.A few words from Neil on Jurgen: Jurgen may be the most famous of James Branch Cabell’s books: It was certainly the one that put him on the map, when, in January 1920, the New York Society for the Prevention of Vice took his publisher to court for violating New York’s anti-obscenity law. Suddenly, Cabell went from an admired but semi-obscure author of literary satiric fantasy, to the guy everyone was reading because he was censored.James Branch Cabell's career was short-lived - his works fit neatly within the 1920s literary escapist culture and then quickly declined in popularity as the author veered away from the fantasy niche. In his heyday, Cabell garnered praise from several of his contemporaries such as H. L. Mencken and Sinclair Lewis. Lewis even acknowledged Cabell's successful Jurgen in his 1930 Nobel Prize address. Jurgen is certainly Cabell's most famous novel, published in 1919, and it tells the story of a middle-aged man on a journey through fantastic realms, where he meets and seduces beautiful women of fiction and myth - including the Devil's wife. The book garnered attention as it was charged with obscenity in a case that reached the New York Supreme Court. Cabell and his publisher won the case, and the author was deemed a literary avant garde, who tested conventional social boundaries and opposed the forces of puritanical repression. ungekürzt.
