The Stray Sod Country , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 547min

It is 1958, and as Laika, the Sputnik dog, is launched into space, Golly Murray, the Cullymore barber's wife, finds herself oddly obsessing about the canine cosmonaut. Meanwhile, Fonsey "Teddy" O'Neill is returning, like the prodigal son, from overseas, with Brylcreem in his hair and a Cuban-heeled swagger to his step, having experienced his coming-of-age in Skegness, England. Father Augustus Hand is working on a bold new theatrical production for Easter, which he, for one, knows will put Cullymore on the map. And, as the Manchester United football team prepares to take off from Munich airport, James A. Reilly sits in his hovel by the lake outside town, with his pet fox and his father's gun, feeling the weight of an insidious and inscrutable presence pressing down upon him. As these imperiled characters wrestle with their identities, a mysteriously powerful narrator plucks, gently, at the strings of their fates, and watches the twitching response. This novel is a devil's-eye view of a lost era, a sojourn to the dark side of our past, one we may not have come back from. With echoes of Peyton Place and Fellini's Amarcord, and with a sinister narrator at its heart, this is at once a story of a small town - with its secrets, fears, friendships, and betrayals - and a sweeping, theatrical extravagance from one of the finest writers of his generation. ungekürzt.

Sharpe's Triumph: Sharpe, Book 2, Hörbuch, Digital, 170min

India, 1803. It is four years since Richard Sharpe earned his sergeant's stripes at the siege of Seringapatam, and four years in which Sharpe seems to have discovered the easiest billet in the British army. But that comfort is rudely shattered when he witnesses a murderous act of treachery by an English officer who has defected from the East India Company to join the mercenary army of the Mahratta Confederation commanded by the flamboyant Hanoverian, Anthony Pohlmann. Sharpe is ordered to join the hunt for the renegade Englishman, a hunt that will take him deep into the enemy's territory where he will face temptations more subtle than he has ever dreamed of. And behind him, relentlessly stalking him, comes his worst enemy, the baleful, twitching Sergeant Obadiah Hakeswill who is determined to break Sharpe once and for all. The paths of treachery all lead to the small village of Assaye where Sir Arthur Wellesley, with a tiny British army, faces the Mahratta horde. Outnumbered and outgunned, Wellesley decides to fight, and Sergeant Richard Sharpe is plunged into the white heat of a battle that will make Wellesley's reputation. It will make Sharpe's name to, but only if he can survive the carnage and killing frenzy, for it is at Assaye that he at last realizes his ambition and has a chance to seize it. Sharpe's Triumph is a magnificent novel of the British in India, and of the battle which Arthur Wellesley, after he had become the Duke of Wellington, reckoned to be his greatest achievement. It will delight the millions of readers who have enjoyed Sharpe's later adventures in the Peninsular War and at Waterloo. Language: English. Narrator: Paul McGann.

Given to the Sea , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 698min

Kings and queens rise and fall, loyalties collide, and romance blooms in a world where the sea is rising - and cannot be escaped. Khosa is given to the sea, a girl born to be fed to the water, her flesh preventing a wave like the one that destroyed the Kingdom of Stille in days of old. But before she's allowed to dance an uncontrollable twitching of the limbs that will carry her to the shore in a frenzy - she must produce an heir. Yet the thought of human touch sends shudders down her spine that not even the sound of the tide can match. Vincent is third in line to inherit his throne, royalty in a kingdom where the old linger and the young inherit only boredom. When Khosa arrives without an heir he knows his father will ensure she fulfills her duty, at whatever cost. Torn between protecting the throne he will someday fill, and the girl whose fate is tied to its very existence, Vincent's loyalty is at odds with his heart. Dara and Donil are the last of the Indiri, a native race whose dwindling magic grows weaker as the island country fades. Animals cease to bear young, creatures of the sea take to the land, and the Pietra - fierce fighters who destroyed the Indiri a generation before - are now marching from their stony shores for the twins' adopted homeland, Stille. Witt leads the Pietra, their army the only family he has ever known. The stone shores harbor a secret, a growing threat that will envelop the entire land - and he will conquer every speck of soil to ensure the survival of his people. The tides are turning in Stille, where royals scheme, Pietrans march, and the rising sea calls for its Given. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Left for Dead?: The Strange Death and Rebirth of the Labour Party , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 912min

A timely and provocative account of the fall of New Labour, the rise of Corbyn, and what it means for the left in Britain.In the 21st century the Labour Party has undergone the most extraordinary transformation in its history. After more than a decade of political dominance, the party lost two consecutive general elections and found its leadership usurped by the obscure far-left MP Jeremy Corbyn. As Britain voted to leave the EU, Labour seemed destined for long-term irrelevance.But then it all changed. Far from being the death of the party, as many had predicted, at one fell stroke the general election of 2017 heralded its strange and unexpected rebirth. Against all the odds, Corbyn became the first Labour leader since 1997 to gain the party seats and was simultaneously hailed as the saviour of the British Left and a harbinger of doom for its New Labour elite.In Left for Dead? journalist Lewis Goodall tells the full story of this political revolution with unprecedented access to all its key players, from Blair to Corbyn. Weaving together personal memoir, exclusive interviews, juicy gossip and incisive critique, he travels from the streets of his childhood in the shadow of the Birmingham Rover factory to the corridors of power in Westminster, tracing the journey of the party from the twilight of the ‘Third Way’ to the tumult of the financial crisis to the ravages of Brexit and Corbynism.Because one thing is for certain - while the left in Britain might not be dead, the traditional social democratic centre-left which we have known since the war is barely twitching in the road. But what has replaced it? Where has it come from? And what does it mean for the long-term future of the Labour Party? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Alex James-Cox.

Wicca Herbal Magic: A Beginner’s Guide to Wiccan Beliefs. Learn How to Become a Solitary Practitioner Executing Rituals, Generating Spells, Producing Magical Herbs, and Drenching in Divine Baths , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 232min

If you want to start your journey in Wiccan beliefs and discover the power of magical herbs, then keep reading...Welcome to the world of Wiccan witchcraft! As a new witch or a practicing witch that is new to herbal magic, you are about to embark on a journey to natural discovery and unimaginable power. After all, nature was around far longer than humans, and it possesses a power that we can “tap” into, with the only limitation being your imagination.Witchcraft has been around for centuries, and Wicca is a subset or religion based on this ancient practice. Unlike common misconceptions of witches, Wiccan witches are “white” or “good” witches. History and media have done a fantastic, albeit false, image of a witch. When you think of this term, you may imagine being an old woman, with a wart on her nose, stirring a bubbling and smoking black pot with a twitching broom in the background. Some of the symbolism in the movies and television shows is relevant to witchcraft, it is not entirely an accurate portrayal of what it is like to be a Wiccan witch.Do you recognize the witch-terms “eye of newt” or “dead man’s toes? Well, those are the items you will see listed in a witch’s spell, but do you know what those really are? Herbs! The spells that you may have heard in movies or television, or just whispered on the playground as a child, are mostly founded in herbalism. And more precisely, they are based on working with nature to harness the power and bring about positive influence.If this intrigues you and you want to learn more about herbal magic than it is time to listen on!Some of the highlights of this audiobook includeAn introduction to what it is like to be a real Wiccan witch in modern times.A review of how magic turned to medicine and the difference between the two today.A reference to magical plants and the associations they have.Suggestions on how to work with various herbs in spells ungekürzt.

Sinister Attraction: The Neighbor's Deadly Secret, Volume 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 62min

Since Python never carried a gun, Martin was able to swoop down and wrestle Python to the floor. He wasn't expecting the strength that Python had. It came as a surprise to Martin. But, not as surprising as Python was at the strength this old man had. Python was impressed. Python threw some blows to Martin and Martin threw some punches back, knocking Python on his ass. "Damn!" Python said as he was wiping the blood from his split lip that Martin had given him. "You're a strong bastard for an old man." Martin then lunged forward at Python. Just as Python had snapped so many necks in his reign as a gang member and a gang leader, Martin took Python's head in his hands and as he did to the others, he snapped Pythons neck and Python slumped to the floor twitching. Martin watched him writhe and convulse and then die. Martin took great satisfaction in watching the man who orchestrated the kidnapping and command for Emily's death. Martin wasn't about to let Emily die. Martin's belly was already full on the blood he had consumed earlier from the other gang members that he had no desire to consume the blood of Python. He then floated back up to the ceiling and floated back towards the office where Emily was being kept. He floated in front of the door and then knocked. The door opened and the guard didn't see anyone around. Martin was floating above the guard. The guard was confused and was looking around. He closed the door and walked down the hall as Martin floated above him. When he came upon the body of Python, the man panicked. He drew his gun, but before he could see Martin above him, Martin swooped down and took his head and snapped his neck as he did the others. The lifeless body slumped on top of Python's. Martin then went back to the office. The door was open. He had remembered that it was closed when he had left that area to follow the guard. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kym Datura.
