    The Shadow Puppet: Inspector Maigret, Book 12 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 198min
    One by one the lighted windows went dark. The silhouette of the dead man could still be seen through the frosted glass like a Chinese shadow puppet. A taxi pulled up. It wasn't the public prosecutor yet. A young woman crossed the courtyard with hurried steps, leaving a whiff of perfume in her wake. Summoned to the dimly-lit Place des Vosges one night, where he sees shadowy figures at apartment windows, Maigret uncovers a tragic story of desperate lives, unhappy families, addiction and a terrible, fatal greed. Georges Simenon was born in Liège, Belgium, in 1903. Best known in Britain as the author of the "Maigret" books, his prolific output of over 400 novels and short stories have made him a household name in continental Europe. He died in 1989 in Lausanne, Switzerland, where he had lived for the latter part of his life. Anthea Bell is the award-winning translator of numerous French and German works: from the Asterix comics to W. G. Sebald's literary masterpiece Austerlitz. Audible will be producing all 75 Maigret titles. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Gareth Armstrong. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/adbl/016171/bk_adbl_016171_sample.mp3.

    The Time Is Write!: Your Journey to Excellent Writing Starts Now , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 61min
    For many, many years, there's been a sort of mysticism surrounding the world of writing. There are stereotypical images of writers at old typewriters in a dimly lit room or a pretentious, haughty author-to-be penning the next great globally known novel from the comfort of a coffee house sofa, making sure everyone knows of his or her artistic brilliance. From my experience, and looking from a more objective standpoint, writing is a business or career path just like any other. We all learn basic components of writing when we're in school - reading, grammar, spelling and so on. While in theory anyone can write, there are a few who find themselves naturally talented; others gain their skills through hours and hours of practice. Regardless of your background or your current level of writing, by picking up this book, you've made the decision to better yourself, to sharpen your writing skills. My aim in writing this book is to help you take your writing, fiction or nonfiction, book or brochure to the next level. Let's dive right in! ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Sarah Pavelec.

    Barbarian Lost: Travels in the New China , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 540min
    To this day, China remains an enigma. Ancient, complex, and fast moving, it defies easy understanding. Ever since he was a boy, Alexandre Trudeau has been fascinated by this great country. Recounting his experiences in the China of recent years, Trudeau visits artists and migrant workers, townspeople and rural farmers. Often accompanied by a young Chinese journalist, Vivien, he explores realities caught in time between the China of our memories and the thrust of progress. The China he seeks out lurks in hints and shadows. It flickers dimly amidst all the glare and noise. The people he encounters along the way give up but small secrets yet each revelation comes as a surprise that jolts us from our preconceived ideas and forces us to challenge our most secure notions. Barbarian Lost, Trudeau's first book, is an insightful and witty account of the dynamic changes going on right now in China, as well as a look back into the deeper history of this highly codified society. On the ground with the women and men who make China tick, Trudeau shines new light on the country as only a traveler with his storytelling abilities could. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    From a Jack to a King , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 423min, (USK 18)
    New York Times best-selling mystery writer Bay Whitman leads the life of a celebrity - at least on the surface. In public, he’s self-assured and in control. Women hang on his every word, while men envy his confidence and swagger. But in reality, Bay is a loner. He’s shy and introverted, and his life consists of sitting in a dimly lit room writing his famous Jack Robbins mystery novels. His one vice - gambling. Winning an escort in a poker game will change Bay’s life in ways he never imagined.   Matthew “King” Slater is one of the hottest tickets in gay porn. He spends his days in front of the camera and his nights as a highly paid escort to the rich and famous. Deep down, he craves romance and a real connection, but his past makes it hard to separate the needs of his body from those of his heart. For now, it’s easier to think of sex as just a job. But while doing a shoot in Vegas, King is hired for a tryst at a famous hotel and casino, and his handsome client might blur the line between work and play. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Brave Hearted
    "Myth and misunderstanding spring from the American frontier as readily as rye grass from sod, and - like the wiry grass - seem as difficult to weed out and discard."The true-life story of women's experiences in the 'Wild West' is more gripping, more heart-rending, and more stirring than all the movies, novels, folk-legends and ballads that popular imagination has been able to create.Whether they were the hard-drinking hard-living poker players and prostitutes of the new boom towns, 'ordinary' wives and mothers walking two thousand miles across the prairies pulling their handcarts behind them, Chinese slave-brides working in laundries, or the Native American women displaced by the mass migration of the 'whites' to their lands, all have one trait in common: that of extreme resilience and courage in the face of the unknown. Reading the extraordinary accounts they have left behind them, their experiences seem as strange to us today as it must have been to have lived through them, perhaps even stranger. They were put to the test, in terms of sheer survival, in ways that we can only dimly imagine.Praise for Katie Hickman'Fascinating . . . I was swept along by Hickman's concise chapters and her crisp, wry style,' The Times 'Absolutely brilliant . . . remarkable women, until now almost unknown. I was so gripped I couldn't put it down' Antonia Fraser'Goes beneath the surface of imperial male history . . . a cast of extraordinary women. Wonderful' Anita Anand

    The Dragon's Gift: Dragon Shifters from Cendarth, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 290min
    How did my life become a sci-fi movie?I found myself in a dimly lit dungeon, chained to a wall, and surrounded by other women sharing the same fate. We had to expect the wolves would strike back though. We started it after all. Humans; we always make the same mistake. "If we don't strike first, they will." Well, they struck second.And they struck hard.Now, I was to be given away like a Christmas present to some dragon lord, beasts that the outer-space wolves respected for their might and strength. I was already scared and confused, but when I saw him...No man could ever be this gorgeous.Fear and desire fought within me like waves crashing on a rocky shore. But to my surprise, he did not want me to be his slave. He didn't even force me to stay. He was kind, gentle, and respectful.Was this real?Was I really here, with an incredibly sexy dragon shape-shifter, in a giant palace full of servants waiting on my every need, on a far away planet? Everyone I knew had been wiped out. This is the only reality left for me. I might as well see where this goes.... ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Craig A. Hart.

    Purple Fables (Quartet) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 93min
    If a fable is a legendary story of supernatural happenings, Mr. Swann says, "or a narration intended to enforce a useful truth, then these four are fables - which shouldn't be confused with fairy tales targeted only for children. These, then, are tales for kind and loving people of all ages." "The Temple of Sanity" tells of an idea that became a reality and grew into an institution, only to develop rules and leaders, cliques and critics. "A Clay-Modeling Lesson" tells of the four identical boys separated at birth and raised Christian, Jewish, Muslim, and atheist, and how they met as representatives of their respective communities. "The Fate and Destiny of a Traveling Clairvoyant" tells of a woman with a special talent, who found that people prefer seeing dimly to seeing clearly. "Watcher of the Purple River" tells of an old woman and a young man, and how she taught him to watch the river of life. These fables came to Ingo Swann as a gift from a part of himself: He awoke four mornings in a row and literally had to write them. They have in common a gentle wisdom, a kindness, an empathy, that will make them immediately precious - and then unforgettable - to the listener whose heart is open. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    For so many people, whether your addiction is to a substance or merely to a certain way of thinking or acting, a profound humbling occurs when you realize that your problem is bigger than you are. The terror of realizing, even dimly, that you have no control over a self-destructive pattern of behavior - that as much as you would want to, you simply cannot stop - can mark a crucial turning point in your life. At that point, you go in one of two directions: either way, way down, or way, way up.... This audio is for you if you know in your heart that you are an addict, and that you are powerless before your addictive behavior. As the title promises, Marianne Williamson looks at weight loss from a spiritual perspective, bringing you 30 lessons that can be done separately or in conjunction with any other serious spiritual path. These 30 lessons are completely separate from anything related to diet or exercise - they will retrain your consciousness in the area of weight in order to break the cycle of overeating, dieting, and shame that rules so many lives. Finally, Marianne has brought you what you’ve been waiting for: help to heal your addiction once and for all! ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Marianne Williamson.
