  Devil: The Leopards of Normandy, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 848min

  William the Conqueror as you've never seen him before--the Leopards of Normandy trilogy will tell his story in all its wild, intoxicating, unfailingly dramatic glory. David Churchill does for William what blockbuster TV series The Tudors did for Henry VIII. The devil and his bastard son.... Robert of Normandy is handsome, brave, and impetuous--and has just seized Normandy's mightiest castle. But his older brother, Richard, the duke of Normandy, wants it back...and will take it by force if need be. Herleva of Falaise is the mere daughter of a tanner, but she's more beautiful than any princess, and when she and Robert meet, together they will change the course of history. Their illegitimate son, William, is born into a world of murder and intrigue, where families are torn apart by bitter rivalries, renegade warlords stop at nothing in their lust for power and wealth, and professional assassins are never short of work. His enemies will mock him as William the Bastard. But we have another name for him: Conqueror. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Russell Bentley.

  Hachi and Friends , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 130min

  If you happen to be passing through Shibuya Railway Station, in the chaotic heart of Tokyo, you are certain to come across a small bronze statue of a dog. This is Hachi-kò, the "Loyal Akita Inu of Japan", who waited faithfully at that exact spot for almost 10years in the hope of his master’s return. Shibuya Station is a focal point in this delightful tale combining fact and fiction, and every afternoon our hero unfailingly meets the incoming three o’clock train, seeking the one familiar face which means so much to him - that of Master Ueno. A mysterious kidnapping sets Hachi and friends on a trail that twists and turns through the Tokyo of the 1920s, and Hachi comes face to face with his worst fear. Will he overcome it to win the day? You’ll meet some of Hachi’s many human and animal friends, including Maro, the vagabond mixed breed who is proud to live as a street dog, Goro, who was abandoned as a puppy outside the police station and now acts as police dog, and Debbie, Hachi’s special fox terrier friend who lives next door. ungekürzt.

  Send a Boy : The Andy Series , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 103min

  Book 2 of the Andy Series is here! Send a Boy.... but can Seth do a man's job? At the end of Andy (book 1 of the series), Azura signs the lease for her anatomically correct and fully functional "personal assistant" and takes him home. Day one is a success, but can Seth deliver over the long haul?  Every model of the Andy line is a good dancer, an excellent chef, a patient listener, an interesting and well-informed conversationalist. Andy models are never judgmental, always supportive and unfailingly polite. They're thoughtful, attentive, and considerate. Is that enough? How much perfection does a woman want? How much is too much? How threatening is it to be with a "person" who never makes a mistake?  Meanwhile...on the home front, in the offices of Robotics International, the focus turns to "who's next?" Now that Seth appears to be succeeding, to whom should the next Andy model be leased? Will that woman want the same things Azura did, or will she demand something completely different? So many questions. You'd need a computer to figure them all out. Oh, that's right - it is a computer figuring them all out. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Dirk Walvoord. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/196786/bk_acx0_196786_sample.mp3.

  Cultural Amnesia: Necessary Memories from History and the Arts, Hörbuch, Digital, 376min

  In this book can be heard the merest edge of an enormous conversation. As they never were in life, we can imagine the speakers all gathered in some vast room, wearing name tags in case they don't recognize each other (although some recognize each other all too well, and avoid contact). "My heroes and heroines are here. The reader will recognize some of their names, while other names will be more obscure. My intellectual betes noires are here too, and the same division might apply." An almanac combining a comprehensive survey of modern culture with an annotated index of who-was-who and what-was-what, Cultural Amnesia is Clive James' unique take on the places and the faces that shaped the 20th century. From Anna Akhmatova to Stefan Zweig, via Charles de Gaulle, Hitler, Thomas Mann and Charlie Chaplin, this varied and unfailingly absorbing book is both story and history, both public memoir and personal record - and provides an essential field-guide to the vast movements of taste, intellect, politics, and delusion that helped to prepare the times we live in now. Language: English. Narrator: Clive James. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/macm/000395/bk_macm_000395_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

  All That's Missing , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 500min

  Poppo's mind wandered. And Poppo wandered, too. Sometimes. Not often. Not yet, anyway. Arlo's grandfather travels in time. Not literally - he just mixes up the past with the present. Eleven-year-old Arlo holds on as best he can - because his grandfather is all the family he knows. Arlo fixes himself cereal for dinner and gives money to the owner of the corner store for the sausages Poppo takes without remembering to pay. But how long before someone finds out that Arlo is taking care of his grandfather instead of the other way around? When Poppo lands in the hospital and a social worker comes to take charge, Arlo's fear of foster care sends him alone across 300 miles. Armed with a name and a town, Arlo finds his only other family member - the grandmother he doesn't remember ever meeting. But just finding her isn't enough to make them a family. Unfailingly honest and touched with a dash of magical realism, Sarah Sullivan's evocative debut novel delves into a family mystery and unearths universal truths about home, trust, friendship, and strength - all the things a boy needs. ungekürzt.

  Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 591min

  Al Franken, "one of our savviest satirists" ( People), takes on the issues, the politicians, and the pundits in one of the most anticipated books of the year. Once again, the author of Rush Limbaugh Is a Big Fat Idiot and Other Observations trains his subversive wit directly on the contemporary political scene, leaving the powers-that-be in tatters and his audience in hysterics. Al Franken thrives on being in the opposition, and now that the Republican party controls both the Oval Office and Congress, the gloves are off and the satire is fast and furious. Franken's specialty is using his targets' own words to make comedic and political points. Finding logical inconsistencies, factual errors, and doublespeak wherever he looks, Franken takes on and destroys the myth of liberal bias in the media, hoists the Bush White House on its own rhetorical petard, and punctures the mean-spirited sanctimony of such media darlings as Ann Coulter, Bill O'Reilly, and host of post-Limbaugh talk-radio gasbags. Timely, provocative, unfailingly honest, and always uproarious, Lies is sure to raise hackles and spark hilarity inside the Beltway and from sea to shining sea. ungekürzt. Language: English.

  Columbus: Slavery, Lies, and Genocide , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 128min

  No event in human history changed the world more than the Columbian Exchange, the melding of the "Old" and "New" worlds kicked off by Christopher Columbus's famous voyage. It opened a new era of global trade, largely depopulated - and then repopulated - two continents, and began a transfer of plant and animal life that changed the face of the planet. Yet the decidedly mixed blessings of this exchange - and Columbus's undeniable violence and greed - make him the most hotly debated figure in American history. In this compact narrative biography, Alexander Kennedy drills through centuries of controversy to rediscover the man beneath, a Genoese weaver's son whose audacity led him to define an era. Backed by equally audacious monarchs, Columbus leads an expedition to the Americas, fueled more by iron will than wisdom. But when his cruelty to both Spanish colonists and indigenous peoples leaves his reputation in tatters, the remaining years of Columbus's life become a desperate quest to restore his lost honor. Here Kennedy gives us Columbus in all his complexity - the hero, the monster, and the man. "By prevailing over all obstacles and distractions, one may unfailingly arrive at his chosen goal or destination." (Christopher Columbus) Buy now and discover the true story of Columbus. ungekürzt.
