    In Search of Mary Shelley: The Girl Who Wrote Frankenstein , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 582min
    Mary Shelley was brought up by her father in a house filled with radical thinkers, poets, philosophers and writers of the day.  Aged 16, she eloped with Percy Bysshe Shelley, embarking on a relationship that was lived on the move across Britain and Europe, as she coped with debt, infidelity and the deaths of three children before early widowhood changed her life forever. Most astonishingly, it was while she was still a teenager that Mary composed her canonical novel Frankenstein, creating two of our most enduring archetypes today.  The life story is well known. But who was the woman who lived it? She's left plenty of evidence, and in this fascinating dialogue with the past, Fiona Sampson sifts through letters, diaries and records to find the real woman behind the story. She uncovers a complex, generous character - friend, intellectual, lover and mother - trying to fulfil her own passionate commitment to writing at a time when to be a woman writer was an extraordinary and costly anomaly. ungekürzt.

    Love's Suicide , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 721min
    My heart belonged to Branch and Brooks Valentine since we were children, when we were all too naïve to know what that even meant. We didn't understand that when we became adults, love would change us. I had to make a choice, and when I did, it ripped our bond apart. Brooks left town, and he took half of my heart with him. It was difficult, but I coped and planned my future with Branch. I thought I'd made the right decision. I loved him, and I always had. Brooks showed up to be our best man the night before our nuptials. After drinks and too much reminiscing, I ended up in bed with the wrong brother. To avoid the humiliation and the fact that I'd ruined all of our lives, I left Branch and the only family I'd ever known. That's where my story should have ended. Almost three years, one beautiful little girl, and an abusive marriage later, I was standing there staring at the man who would always hold my heart. The only question was... Would I give it to him? I'm Katy Michaels, and this is my story. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Cassandra Trullo. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/045783/bk_acx0_045783_sample.mp3.

    The Natchez Indians: A History to 1735 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 468min
    The Natchez Indians: A History to 1735 is the story of the Natchez Indians as revealed through accounts of Spanish, English, and French explorers, missionaries, soldiers, and colonists, and in the archaeological record. Because of their strategic location on the Mississippi River, the Natchez Indians played a crucial part in the European struggle for control of the Lower Mississippi Valley. The book begins with the brief confrontation between the Hernando de Soto expedition and the powerful Quigualtam chiefdom, presumed ancestors of the Natchez. In the late 17th century, René-Robert Cavelier de La Salle's expedition met the Natchez and initiated sustained European encroachment, exposing the tribe to sickness and the dangers of the Indian slave trade. The Natchez Indians portrays the way that the Natchez coped with a rapidly changing world, became entangled with the political ambitions of two European superpowers, France and England, and eventually disappeared as a people. The author examines the shifting relationships among the tribe's settlement districts and the settlement districts' relationships with neighboring tribes and with the Europeans. The establishment of a French fort and burgeoning agricultural colony in their midst signaled the beginning of the end for the Natchez people. Barnett has written the most complete and detailed history of the Natchez to date. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Charles Johnson, Jr..

    To the Best of Our Knowledge: Writing War Fiction, Hörbuch, Digital, 52min
    In this hour, Helen Benedict was one of the first journalists to notice that American women serving in Iraq were fighting a war on two fronts.

She's returned to the same subject, this time in a novel called Sand Queen.Then, David Grossman is one of Israel's most celebrated writers. His novel, To the End of the Land, is about a mother's fear and trepidation as her son goes to war. Shortly before Grossman finished the book, his own son was killed while serving in the Israeli army. The book sparked a national conversation in Israel when it first came out.Next, Amir on Zahra’s Paradise.And finally, Anna Perera’s debut novel Guantanamo Boy, published in 2009 in the UK, chronicles in devastating detail the kidnapping, incarceration and torture of an ordinary teenager six months after 9/11.
