    Alexander's Bridge , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 166min
    There is a pleasure in listening to the imagery of Alexander's Bridge that is similar to viewing a beautiful watercolor, as in the following description of a Boston street in late afternoon: "The sun sank rapidly; the silvery light had faded from the bare boughs and the watery twilight was setting in when Wilson at last walked down the hill, descending into cooler and cooler depths of grayish shadow."Against this delicate imagery, Willa Cather renders the tough inner terrain of a man in mid-life crisis. Bartley Alexander is a master bridge engineer. At 43 he is at the height of his power, comfortable with success and all it brings. Yet he yearns for the lost vibrancy of his youth. He leads a double life, veering between his beautiful, accomplished wife and his mistress, an actress he knew as a student in Paris. The conflict creates a crack in the structure of his life that ultimately undermines him. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Marguerite Gavin.

    Jesters , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1105min
    Jesters is about a realistic middle-class life full of conflict, drama, hilarity, love, sex, failure, and success, with underlying significance in the nation’s cultural life. Brothers Theo and Tom emerge from a creative but dysfunctional Chicago family. Discord between them is the engine of the plot, veering beginning to end from acts of sibling affection to extremely contentious rivalry. Theo, when grown, at first 6’4” and overweight, fascinated by vulnerable human nature rises from creative entrepreneurial failure to amazing successes, increasingly trim and handsome. Tom, athletic and, once grown, tall and good-looking, starved for welcoming family connection, pursues interaction with celebrities - movie stars on film-making assignments in Chicago, the troop that founded Second City, famed musicians, prominent political activists, and a career in Hollywood. Theo’s profit-seeking, manipulative self-interest puts the family’s survival in play. Females are pivotal throughout. The 20th century’s dramatic social changes and new technologies are virtual players that illuminate the 21st century movie-making, music business, sexual relations, peacetime military service, family life, and opportunity for young adults. ungekürzt.

(a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize), a dazzling new collection of stories that showcases Karen Russell's gifts at their inimitable best.
