    Give Me Ten Seconds, Hörbuch, Digital, 181min
    John Sergeant's acclaimed memoir takes us from his somewhat eccentric childhood to his 30 years' service with the BBC. Memorably hand-bagged by Margaret Thatcher on the steps of the Paris Embassy as she lost the leadership contest, and the man to whom Ron Davis confessed his midnight perambulations on Clapham Common, Sergeant has been the man on the spot in most of the major news stories of the last 20 years. His mordant wit, keen sense of the absurd and acute powers of analysis pervade this audiobook, and his understanding of the labyrinthine workings of Westminster, and of the corridors of Broadcasting House, is second to none. Language: English. Narrator: John Sergeant. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/macm/000026/bk_macm_000026_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    The Adventures of Tom Sawyer , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 454min
    Perhaps the best-loved 19th-century American novel, Mark Twain's tale of boyhood adventure overflows with comedy, warmth, and slapstick energy. It brings to life an array of irresistible characters - the awesomely self-confident Tom, his best buddy Huck Finn, indulgent Aunt Polly, and the lovely, beguiling Becky - as well as such unforgettable incidents as whitewashing a fence, swearing an oath in blood, and getting lost in a dark and labyrinthine cave. Below Tom Sawyer's sunny surface lurk hints of a darker reality, of youthful innocence and naïveté confronting the cruelty, hypocrisy, and foolishness of the adult world - a theme that would become more pronounced in Twain's Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Despite such suggestions, Tom Sawyer remains Twain's joyful ode to the endless possibilities of childhood. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: William Dufris.

    Purgatory: Jack Taylor, Book 10 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 346min
    Jack Taylor thinks he has a chance at last to rest and heal from the myriad mental and physical traumas that beset him. However, after a skateboarder long suspected of dealing drugs to children is shot dead in mid-air during a public performance, Jack receives a cryptic message with a picture of the skateboarder, a clipping about a rapist gone free through procedural error, and a chilling invitation: "Your turn." The note is signed simply "C 33." From the author considered "among the most original and innovative noir voices of the last two decades" (Los Angeles Times Book Review) comes a mystery as labyrinthine as any Jack has yet encountered - and perhaps even more deadly. Purgatory is Ken Bruen at his best: lyrical, brutal, and ceaselessly suspenseful. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Gerard Doyle.
