    When someone sent distress signals to outer space from the planet Tschai, it was Adam Reith's misfortune to be sent from Earth to investigate. Because when his ship came close to Tschai, it was torpedoed - and Adam escaped to the surface with his life and nothing else. On Tschai, a vast, previously unexplored planet, Adam is taken as a slave by humans and learns that there are four other intelligent but nonhuman races dominant on this strange world. To solve the mystery of the distress call and the vicious attack on his ship, he must first gain his freedom, then find safe passage by the city and the alien Chasch and their treacherous cousins, the Blue Chasch. Jack Vance's Tschai novels are considered his masterwork, a constantly changing epic canvas of weird peoples, exotic lands, and surprising extraterrestrial adventures. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Hillbilly Elegy: A Memoir of a Family and Culture in Crisis by J. D. Vance is an account of the struggles of white working-class Americans in the post-industrial United States. The author offers a message of hope by telling the story of how he went from growing up poor in Ohio's Rust Belt to graduating from Yale Law School. James David (J. D.) Vance's family is of Scots-Irish descent. His people have a long history of enduring poverty and hardship. Since the 18th century in the United States, the Scots-Irish have been plantation workers, sharecroppers, miners, and factory and millworkers. Many settled or have roots in Appalachia. Other Americans sometimes consider J. D.'s people "hillbillies, rednecks, or white trash". As industrial manufacturing has declined in recent decades, hillbillies have been hit especially hard.

    In this thrilling conclusion to the Numbers Game Saga, it's been 10 weeks since Treena returned to NORA. The council has rejected her war preparations at every turn, and Dresden is backpedaling on his promises. When he tells everyone the danger has passed and denies there was ever a threat, Treena's secret followers push her to unseat Dresden and take control - something she can't bear to consider now with NORA on the brink of war. Meanwhile, infighting at Vance's settlement is turning into violent unrest and the drought has made his settlement's future bleak. Joining NORA seems inevitable, but Vance refuses to give in...not with war looming over their cities. Not when it means putting his younger sisters in danger. When Treena goes overseas to plead for help, Vance is torn between his responsibilities and his heart. Together, Treena and Vance must navigate the political undercurrents of a strange new country, convince an indifferent world of their plight, and somehow stay together despite a prince's determination to tear them apart. ungekürzt.

    Note: this is an unofficial summary and analysis of the original book, meant to enhance your listening experience, and not the original book. Here's a free excerpt from our book: Thirty-one-year-old J.D. Vance believes that he hasn't achieved anything great and the idea of any stranger paying money for his memoir is weird. The only "cool" thing he has accomplished is graduating from Yale Law School. Even though he has a joyful marriage, a good job, a comfortable home, etc., the reason for writing the book is not because he accomplished anything special. Vance wrote this book because he managed to achieve something ordinary, which others with a background like him usually fail to. He grew up amidst poverty, with one of his parents facing the curse of addiction all the time. Vance was raised by his grandparents, who did not even graduate from high school.
