Eugene Onegin: A Novel in Verse , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 267min
Eugene Onegin is the master work of the poet whom Russians regard as the fountainhead of their literature. Set in 1820s Russia, Pushkin's novel in verse follows the fates of three men and three women. It was Pushkin's own favourite work, and this new translation conveys the literal sense and the poetic music of the original. Eugene Onegin is the master work of the poet whom Russians regard as the fountainhead of their literature. Set in 1820s imperial Russia, Pushkin's novel in verse follows the emotions and destiny of three men - Onegin the bored fop, Lensky the minor elegiast, and a stylized Pushkin himself - and the fates and affections of three women - Tatyana the provincial beauty, her sister Olga, and Pushkin's mercurial Muse. Engaging, full of suspense, and varied in tone, it also portrays a large cast of other characters and offers the listener many literary, philosophical, and autobiographical digressions, often in a highly satirical vein. Eugene Onegin was Pushkin's own favourite work, and it shows him attempting to transform himself from a romantic poet into a realistic novelist. This new translation seeks to retain both the literal sense and the poetic music of the original, and capture the poem's spontaneity and wit. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Raphael Corkhill.

Fierce Invalids Home from Hot Climates , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1007min
Switters is a contradiction for all seasons: an anarchist who works for the government, a pacifist who carries a gun, a vegetarian who sops up ham gravy, a cyber whiz who hates computers, a robust bon vivant who can be as squeamish as any fop, a man who, though obsessed with the preservation of innocence, is aching to deflower his high-school-age stepsister (only to become equally enamored of a nun ten years his senior). And as we dog Switters' strangely elevated heels across four continents, in and out of love and danger, Robbins explores, challenges, mocks, and celebrates virtually every major aspect of our mercurial era. To describe a Tom Robbins plot does not begin to describe a Tom Robbins novel. Moreover, the internationally acclaimed, best-selling author, with his love of language nuance, and surprise, is as opposed to story summations as J.D. Salinger. It is revealing, however, to learn what things Robbins lists as having influenced the writing of Fierce Invalids: "This book was inspired by an entry from Bruce Chatwin's journal, by a CIA agent I met in Southeast Asia, by the mystery surrounding the lost prophecy of the Virgin of Fatima, by the increasing evidence that the interplay of opposites is the engine that runs the universe, and by the embroidered memories of old Terry and the Pirates comic books." ungekürzt.

The Inimitable Jeeves , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 423min
The Inimitable Jeeves, sees the welcomed return of the loveable fop Bertie Wooster and his ever faithful valet Jeeves. This second book in the Jeeves series follows our favorite English toff as he gets himself into more tricky situations, usually trying to assist his old school friend Bingo Little in his ongoing quest for love. Bingo is one of Bertie's oldest friends and has a propensity for falling for every girl he meets, but things don't always go to plan for poor Bingo so he often turns to his old friend for help, and with Bertie being about as much use in the love department as he is in pretty much everything else it usually comes down to Jeeves to save the day and help the course of true love run smoothly (just not always for Bingo).There are 18 hilarious new stories here for you to enjoy, each of them a separate tale in their own right, and together they make up the tale of Bingo Little's search to find the woman of his dreams. You'll also get to meet Bertie's cousins, the twins Claude and Eustace, and there's no doubt that all of them will be thanking good old Jeeves at one point or another for getting them out of another fine mess, even if Jeeves is usually the one who comes out on top in the end.The stories are told and brought to life with the amazing vocals of David McCallion. ungekürzt.

When Will Jesus Bring the Pork Chops? , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 450min
Following his two New York Times best sellers, Brain Droppings and Napalm & Silly Putty, comes George Carlin's third audiobook, When Will Jesus Bring the Pork Chops?, a riotous journey through the mind of one of America's premiere comic observers. Ranging from his absurdist side (Message from a Cockroach; TV News: The Death of Humpty Dumpty; Tips for Serial Killers) to his unerring ear for American speech (Politician Talk; Societal Cliches; 13 Sections of Euphemisms) to his unsparing views on America and its values (War, God, Stuff Like That; Zero Tolerance; Tired of the Handi-crap), Carlin's legendary irreverence and iconoclasm are on full display as he vainly scours the American landscape for signs of intelligence. He also has a silly side: You know what kind of guy you never see anymore? A fop. A good motto to live by: "Always try not to get killed." I've never seen a homeless guy with a bottle of Gatorade. A lot of gay men stay in the closet because they're interested in fashion. I have an impersonal trainer. We meet at the gym, we don't talk, he works out alone, and I go home. Here's something you can't do by yourself: practice shaking hands. When it comes to God's existence, I'm not an atheist and I'm not an agnostic. I'm an acrostic. The whole thing puzzles me. Good news for senior citizens: Death is near! O.J. Simpson has already received the ultimate punishment: For the rest of his life he has to associate with golfers. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Another Small Kingdom , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 830min
Boston, 1802, Lawyer Macleod is a man full of hate, a dangerous man. When a newly arrived young lawyer is mad enough to insult him, the consequences spin out of control and Macleod is caught up in a web of danger and intrigue. With England at war with France, some powerful Americans feel that the USA's best chance of remaining independent is to throw in their lot with France even if it means accepting a French king for a while. To counter their plot, Macleod is sent to New Orleans, where he meets Marie, wife of Etienne de Valois, aristocrat and fop, and through her learns a terrible secret. Together, unable to trust anyone, they race to uncover the traitors at the heart of the American Government. James Green uses fictional characters to illuminate the real events that lead to the birth of the American Intelligence Services and culminated in the extraordinary Louisiana Purchase, which doubled the size of the USA at the cost of 3 cents an acre. Packed with action and fascinating historical detail, Another Small Kingdom will appeal both to those interested in the history of the USA and to aficionados of intelligent spy thrillers. James Green is well known as the author of the Jimmy Costello crime series, the first book of which, Bad Catholics, was short-listed for the 2009 Crime Writers Association Dagger Awards. A prolific writer, James, who is now working on the second of the five-book series which begins with Another Small Kingdom, is married and lives in Nottinghamshire. ungekürzt. Language: English.

A Mate to Believe In: Dragons of Mount Aterna, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 376min
When nobody else had faith in her, he did.Deputy Carla Frazer has been looking for a bust that will get her promoted for years. Now, she has it. Catching a member of The Five red-handed should be more than enough, despite the hatred the fop of a sheriff holds for her. Now, all she has to do is prove his guilt. His good looks, endless money, and disarming charm won’t be enough to save him from jail time. Not on her watch. Pace Aterna is more of a numbers sort of guy - well, dragon. That’s why he was put in charge of Clan Aterna’s bank accounts. All of them. So, when someone tries to steal them from right under his nose, he’s the logical choice to hunt them down and bring them to justice. Dragon-style justice, not human. Now, all he has to do is find the culprit. For that, though, he’s going to need help. Her help. Human help. Carla is ready to take him in, but her boss has ordered her to drop the case. Something smells fishy, and the only place she’s going to get answers...is from her prime suspect. What Carla expected to find was a seedy criminal underworld that she could take down. Instead, she’s got a hunky dragon shifter trying to claim her, a dead body, and a whole world of paranormal trouble doing its very best to kill her.But to get to Carla, they’re going to have to go through Pace first. It’s time this number-cruncher shows his enemies that his fire burns just as hot as that of his brothers. Because, nothing will stop him from being there when his mate needs him most. ungekürzt.

Send Packs!: The Cole Family, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 443min
Set in the last parts of the Civil War, the audiobook chronicles the lives of both George Armstrong Custer and the main character David Cole (fictional) until that fateful day in a desolate plain in June of 1876 when they both are killed in battle.With a Spielberg opening the listener is thrust into the audiobook and the adventure starts. With the listener knowing how it ends does not change the excitement of how the two end up at the Little Big Horn. Using extensive research of both Custer in war and his subsequent actions in the Indian wars the listener gets to see another side of him that is never shown in movies. The arrogant pompous fop was not who Custer was. The listener gets to meet the love of his life, “Libby” Custer known as the most beautiful woman in a town known for beautiful women.David Cole is thrust into manhood when his father is killed in the Civil War leaving him to protect a herd of about 1,000 cattle from bandits, Indians, Mexican Army, and drought. The fictional town of the audiobook is in West Texas, an area untouched by the Civil War but at the epicenter of covert actions of the Mexican Government to subvert the United States by equipping the once non-hostile Apache with modern weapons and ammunition to go north and murder at will, without worry of interference by any army force nor a Texas Ranger Company.Plus, there is a love story woven into the life of David that adds to the final bitter-sweet drama at the battle.This is a very spiritual story. Not in the religious sense but as far a spirit guides and parts of this world most people can’t see that really exists.The audiobook covers many aspects of the characters with the questions answered: Why didn’t Reno send ammunition to Custer or why did Custer’s men die in pairs?Hollywood be damned. They got it wrong. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Deb Nabb, David Kutchinski. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/225562/bk_acx0_225562_sample.mp3.
