    The Goldfinch
    Es passiert, als Theo Decker dreizehn Jahre alt ist. An dem Tag, an dem er mit seiner Mutter ein New Yorker Museum besucht, verändert ein schreckliches Unglück sein Leben für immer. Er verliert sie unter tragischen Umständen und bleibt allein und auf sich gestellt zurück, sein Vater hat ihn schon lange im Stich gelassen. Theo versinkt in tiefer Trauer, die ihn lange nicht mehr loslässt. Auch das Gemälde, das seit dem fatalen Ereignis verbotenerweise in seinem Besitz ist und ihn an seine Mutter erinnert, kann ihm keinen Trost spenden. Ganz im Gegenteil: Mit jedem Jahr, das vergeht, kommt er immer weiter von seinem Weg ab und droht, in kriminelle Kreise abzurutschen. Und das Gemälde, das ihn auf merkwürdige Weise fasziniert, scheint ihn geradezu in eine Welt der Lügen und falschen Entscheidungen zu ziehen, in einen Sog, der ihn unaufhaltsam mit sich reißt ...

    The Starling God , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 501min
    Trying to make sense of humanity's quirky and often devastating behaviors, birds formed a religion complete with mythology, lore, and fissured beliefs. "This is dangerous territory you place your wings in, my starling friend." The goldfinch lowered his voice. "I feel something strange in the air ever since you came here. You aren't usual, and there is an energy growing in the air we breathe - like a berry on the vine. It's ripening, and when it's ready, there will be either a wonderful feast or poison." The tenuous worldview of birds, and perhaps humans too, is about to be challenged by the coming of a Starling of Prophecy and the truth He is called to discover and ultimately share. ungekürzt.

    Beaks, Bones and Bird Songs: How the Struggle for Survival Has Shaped Birds and Their Behavior , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 442min
    When we see a bird flying from branch to branch happily chirping, it is easy to imagine they lead a simple life of freedom, flight, and feathers. What we don't see is the arduous, life-threatening challenges they face at every moment. Beaks, Bones and Bird Songs guides the listener through the myriad, and often almost miraculous, things that birds do every day to merely stay alive. Like the goldfinch, which manages extreme weather changes by doubling the density of its plumage in winter. Or urban birds, which navigate traffic through a keen understanding of posted speed limits. In engaging and accessible prose, Roger Lederer shares how and why birds use their sensory abilities to see ultraviolet, find food without seeing it, fly thousands of miles without stopping, change their songs in noisy cities, navigate by smell, and much more. ungekürzt.
