    The White Company , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 931min
    The White Company is a motley group of English mercenaries, fighting under the leadership of Sir Nigel Loring. Bound by an unquestioning respect for social order, patriotism, and a lust for adventure, the company makes its way to France to fight in the local wars. Encountering pirate ships and other dramas during their crossing, they finally land at Bordeaux and become involved with the fighting at the siege of Chateau of Villefranch du Perigord and in the Spanish Pyrenees. With assiduous attention to historical detail, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle paints a convincing picture of the chivalric life and manners of the 14th century. With a fresh, concise style, this is a robust and stirring tale of adventure with the spirit and humorous touch of a Chaucerian raconteur. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Nick Rawlinson.

    In Trysts , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 356min
    Camellia Perigord Mackintosh has a secret. The quiet librarian, with a master’s degree in anthropology and an unfortunate predilection for historical research, is a modern day version of Robin Hood who will stop at nothing. Jake Hastings is everything that Camellia despises. Incredibly handsome and exceedingly wealthy, the confident government agent has set his sights on catching the notorious felon who’s been breaking all the rules and upsetting the balance of the world’s wealthiest of families, including Jake’s. For years Camellia has avoided capture. Cleverly working behind the scenes and using whatever means necessary to shake up the establishment, she’s been helping the descendants of disavowed women reclaim their birthright…and their inheritance. But when the provocative Camellia falls into the arms and bed of the uncompromising spy, she may very well have met her match. Melody Knight’s fast-paced In Trysts is a must read romance. Filled with passion, it will keep you on the edge, make you breathless, and leave you wanting more. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Phoebe Zimmerman.

    Death in the Dordogne
    Previously published as Bruno, Chief of Police, this is the first gripping mystery in the acclaimed series starring Captain Bruno Courreges. Captain Bruno Courreges goes by the grand title of Chief of Police, though in truth he's the only municipal policeman on staff in the small town of St Denis in the beautiful Perigord region of south west France. Bruno sees his job as protecting St Denis from its enemies, and these include the capital's bureaucrats and their EU counterparts in Brussels. Today is market day in the ancient town. Inspectors from Brussels have been swooping on France's markets, attempting to enforce EU hygiene rules. The locals call the Brussels' bureaucrats 'Gestapo' and Bruno supports their resistance. What's more, here in what was Vichy France, words like 'Gestapo' and 'resistance' still carry a profound resonance.

    Fatal Pursuit: Bruno, Chief of Police, Book 9 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 548min
    The Bugatti Type 57 Atlantic was called the most beautiful car of all time. Only four of them were ever built. A California museum paid $37 million for one; Ralph Lauren bought another; a third was smashed by a train at a level crossing. The fourth disappeared in France during World War II. It was the car used by British racing ace William Grover Williams, twice winner of the French and Monaco Grand Prix, who became an undercover agent in occupied France. The latest adventure in the Bruno series of mystery novels starts from this true story. Two young men, both racing drivers with a passion for antique cars, compete to find new clues as to the car's hiding place in the Perigord region of France, where Bruno is the local chief of police. When a local researcher turns up dead on Bruno's patch, and French intelligence starts investigating the use of classic car sales to launder money for funding Islamic terrorism, Bruno finds himself once more caught up in a case that reaches far beyond his small town and its people. With the bucolic charm and gourmet cooking that are the hallmarks of this series, Bruno's latest adventure finds him falling in love again as he races to find the murderer and to track down the fate of the most beautiful car ever made. ungekürzt.

    Die Region Périgord im Südwesten Frankreichs lädt zum gemütlichen Verweilen ein. Die abseits des Massentourismus überall noch anzutreffenden, ursprünglichen Dörfchen und Städte mit den für die Gegend typischen Steinhäusern alleine ist schon die Reise wert. Prähistorischen Stätten und Naturschauspiele sind ebenfalls vertreten.Egal ob man sich für historische Altstädte wie in der heimlichen Hauptstadt des Périgord - Sarlat-la-Caneda - interessiert und es sich dort mit den lokalen Spezialitäten von Trüffel über eine breite Auswahl an Käsesorten und süßen Spezialitäten gut gehen lässt. Oder aber etwas aktiver mit dem Kanu die Dordogne entlang paddeln möchte und die wunderschönen Häuserfronten von La Roque-Gageac ebenso wie die eine oder andere, gut erhaltene Burg dabei vorbeiziehen lässt.Der Périgord bietet viel für den kulturell wie auch kulinarisch interessierten. Das "alle Viere gerade sein" lassen gelingt in der ruhigen Gegend - vielleicht sogar in einem der herrlichen alten Steinhäuschen als Feriendomizil - ebenso perfekt.Dieser erfolgreiche Kalender wurde dieses Jahr mit gleichen Bildern und aktualisiertem Kalendarium wiederveröffentlicht.

    The Brethren: Fortunes of France: Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 884min
    The Perigord of 16th-century France is a wild region on the edge of the reaches of royal authority - its steep, forested valleys roamed by bands of brigands and gypsies, its communities divided by conflict between Catholics and converts to the new Protestant faith, the Huguenots. To this beautiful but dangerous country come two veterans of the French king's wars, Jean de Siorac and Jean de Sauveterre, The Brethren - as fiercely loyal to the crown as they are to their Huguenot religion. They make their home in the formidable chateau of Mespech, and the community they found prospers, but they are far from secure - religious civil war looms on the horizon, famine and plague stalk the land, and The Brethren must use all their wits to protect those they love from the chaos that threatens to sweep them away. The Brethren is the first volume in the epic historical drama Fortunes of France - a lusty, exhilarating blend of adventure and romance set against the backdrop of a critical period in European history. Robert Merle (1908-2004) was born in French Algeria, before moving to mainland France in 1918. Originally an English teacher, Merle served as an interpreter with British Expeditionary Force during the Second World War, and was captured by the German army at Dunkirk, the experience of which served as the basis for his Goncourt-prize-winning Weekend at Zuydocoote. He published the 13 volumes of his hugely popular Fortunes of France series over four decades, from 1977 to 2003, the final volume appearing just a year before his death of a heart attack in 2004. ungekürzt.
