    Marie Antoinette's dramatic life-story continues to arouse mixed emotions. To many people, she is still 'la reine mechante', whose extravagance and frivolity helped to bring down the French monarchy; her indifference to popular suffering epitomised by the (apocryphal) words: 'let them eat cake'. Others are equally passionate in her defence: to them, she is a victim of misogyny. In this biography Antonia Fraser examines her influence over the king, Louis XVI; the accusations and sexual slurs made against her; her patronage of the arts, which enhanced French cultural life; her imprisonment; the death threats made against her; rumours of lesbian affairs; her trial (during which her young son was forced to testify to sexual abuse by his mother); and her eventual execution by guillotine in 1793. Language: English. Narrator: Lindsay Duncan. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/orio/000295/bk_orio_000295_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    You get to the point where you can just say it. There was never anything special about me, except my father is rich and important. That's why it happened. It was just a normal Tuesday afternoon. I was 23 and thinking about my new designer boots. They kidnapped me for ransom. They raped me before I was rescued. My therapist says that talking about it means I'm starting to heal. I don't really think I am. It's even harder to talk about Gideon. He couldn't save me when it really mattered, so he keeps trying to save me now. He refuses to give up on me, and I can't make him understand. There are some things you just can't be saved from. Salvation is a love story that follows a difficult path of healing after sexual assault. It is a true romance, but it addresses very hard issues, including rape and attempted suicide. Please consider whether this book is for you. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jane Cramer. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/066560/bk_acx0_066560_sample.mp3.

    In der LILYLA Hörbuch-Edition "Meisternovellen" erwarten Sie auserlesene Erzählungen der deutschsprachigen, russischsprachigen, englischsprachigen, amerikanischenglischsprachigen und französischsprachigen Weltliteratur. Wir haben uns bemüht, eine Auswahl zu treffen, aus welcher deutlich wird, wie vielfältig und abwechslungsreich Literatur ist. Französische Verspieltheit, Russische Abgrundstiefe, Englische Leichtigkeit, Deutsche Dualität und Amerikanische Unbeschwertheit sind nur schwache Unterscheidungsmerkmale zwischen der jeweiligen Literatursprache. Die Gedanken der großen Autoren bedingen sich gegenseitig und stehen in einer Wechselwirkung zueinander, so dass in jedem ihrer Werke Spuren aller anderen zu finden sind. Ohne Kenntnisse über Anderes und Fremdes zu haben, wäre es nicht möglich gewesen, Eigenes zu schaffen, was jeder der Autoren dieser "Hörbuch-Kollektion" getan hat. Ihre Erzählungen werden mit Recht dem Kanon der Weltliteratur zugerechnet, weil sie das widerspiegeln, was dem jeweiligen Zeitgeist entspricht und weil ihre Erzählungen von dem handeln, was von zeitloser Ästhetik und Würde ist: Menschlichkeit und ungeschönte Beschreibung der Realität mit all ihrem pulsierenden Leben, voll von Widersprüchen, Hoffnungen, Ängsten, Romanzen, Schicksalsschlägen, Lebensfreude, Brutalität, Liebe und dem Sinn unserer Existenz und dessen Werte mit all seiner Sanftheit und all seiner Härte. Diese zeitlose Literatur hat ihren unumstößlichen Platz in allen aufgeklärten Gesellschaften sicher. Der Sprecher Friedrich Frieden taucht in die Gedankenwelt der Autoren der Weltliteratur ab und verleiht dieser mit seinem außergewöhnlichen Sprach-, Rhythmik-, Tempo-, und Authentizitätsstil gelebten Ausdruck. Meisternovellen 3. Inhalt: Nikolaj Gogol: Die Nase, Friedrich Nietzsche: Menschliches Allzumenschliches, Georg Büchner: Probevorlesung über Schädelnerven, Voltaire: Die Welt, deutsch. Friedrich Frieden. https://samples.audible.de/bk/lily/000203/bk_lily_000203_sample.mp3.

    Given the importance of what they do, and the controversies that often surround them, and the violent people they sometimes confront, it is remarkable that in the history of this country only four active federal judges have been murdered. Judge Raymond Fawcett has just become number five. Who is the Racketeer? And what does he have to do with the judge's untimely demise? His name, for the moment, is Malcolm Bannister. Job status? Former attorney. Current residence? The Federal Prison Camp near Frostburg, Maryland. On paper, Malcolm's situation isn't looking too good these days, but he's got an ace up his sleeve: He knows who killed Judge Fawcett, and he knows why. The judge's body was found in his remote lakeside cabin. There was no forced entry, no struggle, just two dead bodies: Judge Fawcett and his young secretary. And one large, state-of-the-art, extremely secure safe, opened and emptied. What was in the safe? The FBI would love to know. And Malcolm Bannister would love to tell them. But everything has a price - especially information as explosive as the sequence of events that led to Judge Fawcett's death. And the Racketeer wasn't born yesterday....Nothing is as it seems and everything's fair game in this wickedly clever new novel from John Grisham, the undisputed master of the legal thriller. Language: English. Narrator: JD Jackson. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/rand/003309/bk_rand_003309_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.
