    La scomparsa di H (eBook, ePUB)
    H, dopo una serie di tragiche vicende familiari e un tentato suicidio, scompare senza fornire spiegazioni, neppure agli amici più cari. Trent'anni dopo ritorna nella sua città e ciò che resta del suo vagabondaggio è fissato in svariati taccuini contenenti riflessioni, appunti e pagine di diario. All'amico di sempre strappa, inaspettatamente, una stravagante promessa, quella di riordinare i suoi scritti in caso di premorienza, e di consegnarli a Anna, il grande amore degli anni giovanili. E il caso vuole che H muoia di lì a poco e che il sopravvissuto, onorando l'impegno, intraprenda la raccolta e la lettura di quei fogli sparsi. Inizia così il lungo racconto dell'esperienza umana di H, non un nome, bensì una lettera dell'alfabeto a significare l'anonimato esistenziale di chi si sente un semplice nessuno. Da quei frammenti che testimoniano una sorta di pellegrinaggio, fisico e psicologico, che non si limita alla fuga, ma si palesa come ricerca di riscatto, di speranza, di segni di immortalità, chi narra individua un percorso nello spazio e nell'interiorità da cui emerge un personaggio fobico, tormentato, ma curioso e assetato di verità, fragile ed eroico al tempo stesso. Catturato e coinvolto, l'amico, insieme alla storia di H, si scopre a raccontare anche le proprie vicende interiori, dal problematico ma intrigante rapporto con la moglie Claudia alla difficile e intensa scoperta della figlia Lucia, dando vita a una sorta di ininterrotta riflessione filosofica ed esistenziale materiata di dubbi, curiosità, passioni non sopite. Ne nasce una sorta di narrazione a due voci in cui sembrano echeggiare le note del Totentanz di Liszt. Perché il senso della morte percorre l'intero romanzo. La morte come mistero, come interrogativo che non trova risposta in un mondo privo di senso. Sviluppato e irreggimentato da una esposizione lucida e rigorosa.

    Boot: A Sorta Novel of Vietnam , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 564min
    The true test for surviving war lies in the mind, not on the battlefield. Inspired by the author’s own experiences of US military operations during the Vietnam War, Boot is a debut literary novel that charts the journey of marine George Orwell Hill, known affectionately as G.O. by his brothers-in-arms, as he comes to grips with the psychological impacts of war in the jungles and rice paddies of Southeast Asia.Faced with military life, ranging from the sublime to the ridiculous, G.O. must navigate the absurdity of warfare and suppress his humanity to survive psychologically. The war challenges his presuppositions - about the world, about life, about himself - as soon as he lands in Vietnam. And his pondering deep questions about humanity becomes a fruitless task in a situation forcing him to accept life for what it is in every gory, absurd detail.Boot is a credible contribution to new literary fiction about the Vietnam War, combining satire and psychology in historical fiction. ungekürzt.

    La pura aria (eBook, ePUB)
    Un viaggio nel regno dei morti che si realizza principalmente come ricerca confrontandosi con miti e storie antiche è l'itinerario di questo libro. L'eternità rappresentata dall'elemento aria di questo romanzo è ciò che i protagonisti cercheranno. Questa ricerca dovrà fare i conti con l'aleatorietà del destino, rappresentata dalla realizzazione di un oracolo che si affiancherà come sorta di garanzia divina alle scelte umane. Scelte dettate soprattutto dal cuore, poiché il vero motore di questa ricerca d'eternità è l'amore, infatti senza questa tensione essenziale per l'uomo non ci sarebbe scampo: le sue gambe sarebbero destinate ad una paralisi definitiva!

    Car Talk, The Black Hole of Auto Metaphysics, May 19, 2012, Hörbuch, Digital, 53min
    This week Car Talk kicks off with one listener's brilliant (and only sorta wacko) theory: a non-essential repair on an old car creates a parallel universe in which everything else starts to break. Then it's off to New Mexico, where Nolina has two choices for dealing with a disintegrating head gasket: a $2500 engine re-build, or a $10 can of Bar's Leaks. Any bets on which side Tom and Ray come down on? Elsewhere, Michael in New Jersey needs to replace his beloved minivan with something that can accommodate his Daniel Pinkwater-ish body and his very picky teenage daughter; Brian's looking for a way to convince Little League parents to stop parking in his driveway that doesn't involve slashing tires; and on Stump the Chumps, does Tom manage to snatch defeat from the jaws of a Ray victory? All this, and lots more, this week on Car Talk. [Broadcast Date: May 19, 2012] Language: English. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/rt/cart/120519/rt_cart_120519_sample.mp3.

    Last Call at the Nightshade Lounge: A Novel of Magic and Mixology , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 520min
    Bailey Chen is fresh out of college, with all the usual new-adult demons: no cash, no job offers, and an awkward relationship with Zane, the old friend she kinda-sorta hooked up with during high school. But when Zane introduces Bailey to his monster-fighting bartender friends, her demons become a lot more literal. It turns out evil creatures stalk the city streets after hours, and they can be hunted only with the help of magically mixed cocktails: Vodka grants super strength, whiskey offers the power of telekinesis, and tequila lets its drinker fire blasts of elemental energy. But will all of these powers be enough for Bailey to halt a mysterious rash of gruesome deaths? And what will she do when the safety of a real-world job beckons? This sharp and funny urban fantasy is perfect for fans of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, and grown-up listeners of Harry Potter. Includes 15 recipes from a book of ancient cocktail lore. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Emily Woo Zeller. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/blak/008817/bk_blak_008817_sample.mp3.
