Bad Boy , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 266min
Into a memoir that is gripping, funny, heartbreaking, and unforgettable, Walter Dean Myers richly weaves the details of his Harlem childhood in the 1940s and 1950s: a loving home life with his adopted parents, Bible school, street games, and the vitality of his neighborhood. Although Walter spent much of his time either getting into trouble or on the basketball court, secretly he was a voracious reader and an aspiring writer. But as his prospects for a successful future diminished, the values he had been taught at home, in school, and in his community seemed worthless, and he turned to the streets and his books for comfort. Here in his own words is the story of one of the strongest voices in children's and young adult literature today. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Joe Morton.

Flashman: Flashman, Book 1, Hörbuch, Digital, 350min
Harry Flashman - the unrepentant bully of Tom Brown’s schooldays, now with a Victoria Cross - has three main talents: horsemanship, facility with foreign languages, and fornication. A reluctant military hero, Flashman plays a key part in most of the defining military campaigns of the 19th century, despite trying his utmost to escape them all. Expelled from Rugby for drunkenness, and none too welcome at home after seducing his father’s mistress, the young Flashman embarks on a military career with Lord Cardigan’s Hussars. En route to Afghanistan, our hero hones his skills as a soldier, duellist, imposter, coward, and amorist (mastering all 97 ways of Hindu love-making during a brief sojourn in Calcutta), before being pressed into reluctant service as a secret agent. His Afghan adventures culminate in a starring role in that great historic disaster, the Retreat from Kabul. Language: English. Narrator: Rupert Penry-Jones.

The Deepest Grave: Fiona Griffiths, Book 6 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 780min
British detective Fiona Griffiths, one of the most engaging female protagonists in crime thrillers, is back with a new case to solve. DC Fiona Griffiths is bored. It's been months since she had a good corpse, let alone a decent murder to deal with, and it's frankly driving her nuts. And then comes the news, and she has to literally stop herself from jumping with joy: not just a murder but a decapitation, with an antique sword no less, and a murder scene that has been laid out like a particularly gruesome crossword clue. Gaynor Charteris was an archaeologist leading a team excavating a nearby Iron Age site. Genial, respected, well liked, it was hard to see why anyone would want to kill her in such a brutal way. But as Fiona starts to dig beneath the surface, she finds evidence of a crime that leads back to King Arthur and his final battle - a crime so bizarre that getting her superiors to take it seriously is going to be her toughest job. Especially since the crime hasn't yet been committed. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Siriol Jenkins. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/orio/001106/bk_orio_001106_sample.mp3.

Following the beloved number-one New York Times best seller The Friday Night Knitting Club is this charming story of sisterhood.

Because it isn’t the difficulty of the garment that makes you a great knitter: It’s the care and attention you bring to the craft, as well as how you adapt to surprises.... ungekürzt.
