    Desert Queen: The Many Lives and Loves of Daisy Bates , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 605min
    In the 1890s, when a woman's role was seen as marrying well and raising a family, Daisy Bates reinvented herself from humble governess to heiress-traveller and 'woman of science'. She would become one of the best-known and most controversial ethnologists in history, and one of the first people to put Aboriginal culture on the map. Born into tough circumstances, Daisy's prospects were dim; her father an alcoholic bootmaker, her mother dying of consumption when Daisy was only four years old. Through sheer strength of will, young Daisy overcame her miserable start, and in 1883 she migrated to Australia with a boatload of orphans, passing herself off as an heiress who taught for fun. Marriage followed – first with the young Breaker Morant, then bigamously with two other husbands. For decades she led a double life. But who was the real Daisy Bates? While other biographies have presented her as a saint, historian Susanna de Vries gives readers a more complex portrait of the 'Queen of the Never Never'. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Banjo , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1014min
    Balladeer, bushman, soldier, foreign correspondent - the remarkable life of Australia's greatest storyteller. A. B. ‘Banjo’ Paterson is rightly recognised as Australia’s greatest storyteller and most celebrated poet, the boy from the bush who became the voice of a generation. He gave us our unofficial national anthem, ‘Waltzing Matilda’, and treasured ballads such as ‘The Man from Snowy River’ and ‘Clancy of the Overflow’, vivid creations that helped to define our national identity. But there is more, much more, to Banjo’s story, and in this landmark biography, award-winning writer Grantlee Kieza chronicles a rich and varied life, one that straddled two centuries and saw Australia transform from a far-flung colony to a fully fledged nation. Born in the bush, as a child Banjo rode his pony to a one-room school along a trail frequented by outlaw Ben Hall. As a young man he befriended Breaker Morant and covered the second Boer War as a reporter. He fudged his age to enlist during World War I, ultimately driving an ambulance before commanding a horse training unit during that conflict. Newspaper editor, columnist, foreign correspondent and ABC broadcaster, he knew countless luminaries of his time, including Rudyard Kipling, Winston Churchill, Field Marshal Haig and Henry Lawson. The tennis ace, notorious ladies’ man, brilliant jockey and celebrated polo player was an eyewitness to countless key moments in Australian history and saw Carbine and Phar Lap race. Extensively researched and written with Kieza’s trademark verve, Banjo is a lively and captivating portrait of this truly great Australian.  ungekürzt.

    The Spy Who Loved Me , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 291min
    When 007 turns up at a sleepy American backwoods motel, it doesn’t take him long to realise that Vivienne Michel is in a tight spot, and that Sol Horror and Sluggsy Morant are hardened killers bent on destruction. Escaping from a past she doesn’t want to relive, Viv turns to James Bond to save her. Includes an exclusive bonus interview with Rosamund Pike. Ian Fleming was born in London in 1908. He was educated at Eton and worked as a journalist in Moscow and a banker and stockbroker in London before becoming personal assistant to the Director of Naval Intelligence during the Second World War. He wrote his first Bond novel, Casino Royale, in 1952 at Goldeneye, his home in Jamaica. Since then James Bond has gone on to become a global phenomenon. Rosamund Pike is a contemporary and multifaceted actress who has earned international acclaim for both her stage and film roles. She is soon to take the lead as Amy Dunne in the highly anticipated big screen adaptation of Gone Girl, and will also star in the upcoming BBC comedy What We Did On Our Holiday. She recently starred in Hector and The Search For Happiness and Edgar Wright’s The World’s End. Past film credits include Jack Reacher, Wrath Of The Titans, Die Another Day, An Education and Made In Dagenham, among others.

    Der Spion, der mich liebte / James Bond Bd.10 (eBook, ePUB)
    Vivienne Michel ist in Schwierigkeiten. Auf der Flucht vor ihrer verstrickten Vergangenheit in die amerikanische Provinz, landet sie im Dreamy Pines Autohof. Weit entfernt von der privilegierten Umgebung, in der sie aufgewachsen ist, ist das Motel auch die Haltestation zweier abgebrühter Killer - des perversen Sol Horror und des tödlichen Sluggsy Morant. Als ein cool-charismatischer Engländer auftaucht, schöpft Viv, die in tödlicher Gefahr schwebt, nicht nur Hoffnung, sondern spürt eine fesselnde Faszination. Denn es ist James Bond, 007 - der Mann, von dem sie hofft, gerettet zu werden; der Spion, von dem sie hofft, geliebt zu werden. Jeder kennt sie: die teils stark von den Vorlagen abweichenden Verfilmungen der James-Bond-Romane. Pünktlich zum 50-jährigen Jubliäum der Filmreihe gilt es die Ian-Fleming-Originale erstmals im "Director's Cut" zu entdecken! Eine der größten Filmikonen überhaupt wird 50 Jahre alt! Passend dazu kommt Ende 2012 der 23. Teil der Saga mit dem Titel "Skyfall" in die Kinos! Cross Cult schließt sich den Jubilaren des Mythos mit einer Wiederentdeckung der meisterhaft erzählten Agenten- und Spionageromane aus der Feder Ian Flemings an und beginnt die schrittweise Veröffentlichung aller James-Bond-Originalromane. Endlich wird es möglich sein, Titel wie "Goldfinger", "Thunderball" oder "You Only Live Twice" komplett in ungekürzten Übersetzungen und mit den ursprünglichen Kapitelabschnitten und -überschriften zu lesen. Es verspricht eine einzigartige James-Bond-Bibliothek zu werden, die dazu einlädt, dem Kult um den britischen Gentleman-Geheimdienstler mit der "Lizenz zum Töten" auf den Grund zu gehen.
