    How to Be a Man , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 346min
    Never acknowledge the fact that you're a girl, and take pride when your guy friends say, 'You're one of the guys.' Tell yourself, 'I am one of the guys,' even though, in the back of your mind, a little voice says, 'But you've got girl parts.' A girl whose self-worth revolves around masculinity, a bartender who loses her sense of safety, a woman who compares men to plants, and a boy who shoots his cranked-out father. These are a few of the hard-scrabble characters in Tamara Linse's debut short story collection, How to Be a Man. Set in contemporary Wyoming - the myth of the West taking its toll - these stories reveal the lives of tough-minded girls and boys, self-reliant women and men, struggling to break out of their lonely lives and the emotional havoc of their families to make a connection, to build a life despite the odds. How to Be a Man falls within the tradition of Maile Meloy, Tom McGuane, and Annie Proulx. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: P. J. Morgan.

    Mademoiselle de Malepeire by Fanny Reybaud: Translated by Barbara Basbanes Richter , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 263min
    Barbara Richter uses her considerable skills as a modern translator and writer to bring Fanny Reybaud's captivating French novel to the English-speaking world for the first time in more than a century.This1854 novel focuses on a portrait of Mademoiselle de Malepeire, which hangs in Dom Gérusac's home in the countryside of southern France just before the first French Revolution. Noted for her beauty, Mademoiselle de Malepeire had been painted by her well-to-do suitor, who was enthralled with her beauty and able to disregard her cold and haughty demeanor. Her eventual love story is pieced together in Dom Gérusac's home as many unexpected guests join him, and Mademoiselle de Malepeire's dramatic new identity is revealed.A fast-paced and delightful mystery, Reybaud's novel, in Richter's hands, is a clever, inspiring gem that can still pull at the hearts of 21st-century people, and, perhaps, in this newest translation, will revive interest in Reybaud, once a best-selling French female novelist and considered the equal of fellow female French novelist, George Sand. ungekürzt.

Impostor Syndrome, hectic jobs or no jobs at all, sky-high rents and home sickness are just a few of the troubles through which these women’s stories intersect.The heroines will question everything, including the authenticity of their love, which they have traded for their lives in Italy. Followives explores different aspects of the immigration flow of mostly male engineers from Italy to California in the 2010s.The often-unspoken voices of their wives provide a unique point of view that demystifies the contemporary California Gold Rush. ungekürzt.

    Devotion: A Rat Story , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 52min
    From one of the most popular and acclaimed story writers of her generation, a single-volume short story. "That the yellow house was thrillingly affordable might have been a warning sign if Eleanor had known how to read it. But she'd been desperate. She was sharing a room with her four-year-old daughter, Hattie, in her parents' house, and she had to get out." From the award-winning novelist and short story writer Maile Meloy, Devotion: A Rat Story is an exquisitely unsettling tale about a young single mother whose new home becomes a kind of nightmare she must resolve on her own. Eleanor is in such a rush to move away from her parents that she allows an imperious realtor to rush her to close on the too-good-to-be-true home without an inspection. Shortly after the house becomes legally hers - with every cent and all of her pride and future tied up in the property - the giant rats show themselves. In the yard, in the kitchen, on her daughter's bed. A walk around the block reveals a decrepit neighboring house where two elderly sisters are feeding and fostering thousands of unusual "pets". What has Eleanor done? What action can she possibly take now? In Meloy's characteristically clean, assured style, she captures the hopes and horrors of domestic life with an element of suspense that drives the listener feverishly to the end. ungekürzt.

    Aftershock: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 606min
    Major Penelope Baldwin, accomplished pilot and tactician, could have expected a bright future and stable military career until a dubious flight mission over Al A’Zamiyah, Iraq, results in the loss of her left leg and any opportunity for motherhood.As Penelope struggles in recovery, her mother Evelyn struggles to secure their financial future and cover mounting medical bills. Buying the lies of disingenuous bankers and marketing shills, Evelyn places her savings within the derivatives market, a bubble that (unbeknownst to her) is on the verge of bursting. The collapse will destroy what’s left of her finances, along with the investments and pensions of countless citizens.Within months, on a wintry night in Georgia, a coked-up stock trader miscalculates a power turn in a Porsche coupe, sending its right front wheel over the curb and crashing into that which Penelope holds most dear. The stage is set for a dedicated warrior, an American heroine, to turn her sights on those greedy, callous men responsible for ripping away her future.Baldwin, along with Tessa Montgomery (senior chief, USMC), Cynthia Washington (RN, MSW), and six other highly competent women - all similarly devastated by the avarice, arrogance, and indifference of America’s ruling elite - channel their grief and rage and their search for justice, to become a finely orchestrated and well-financed band of predators.Several months later, several of the most powerful of America’s financial and political elite are slaughtered in 40-storied monuments to their egos. Then, a terror - a terror so primal that it rends the very fabric of everyday life - is released into the homes, limos, and private jets of America’s quasi-monarchical class.An invisible society of professional predators is leading a lethal attack on the long-sacred relationship between money and politics. ungekürzt.

    Ace of Spades
    Neuauflage der Doppel-CD-Edition von "Ace Of Spades". Neben dem Originalalbum enthält diese Version fünfzehn Bonustracks, bestehend aus BBC-Sessions und alternativen Aufnahmen. "One of the best metal albums by any band, ever" fasst bis heute ziemlich trefflich die Kritiker-Meinung zu "Ace Of Spades" zusammen. Das vierte Studio-Album von Mötorhead zeigt die Band auf dem Höhepunkt ihrer Schaffenskraft. Sänger Lemmy wird später behaupten, "man habe ihn zum ersten Mal auch zum Singen und nicht zur zum Herumschreien gebracht", und der Rest der Band spielt unter der Führung des Produzenten Vic Maile so kompakt und stringent, wie nie zuvor.
