    The Irregulars: Roald Dahl and the British Spy Ring in Wartime Washington , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 696min
    Prior to the U.S. entering WWII, a small coterie of British spies in Washington, D.C., was formed. They called themselves the Baker Street Irregulars after the band of street urchins who were the eyes and ears of Sherlock Holmes in some Arthur Conan Doyle stories. This group constituted the very beginning of what would become M16, the British version of the CIA, and they helped support the fledgling American intelligence service, known at the time as the OSS. Among them were writers Roald Dahl, Ian Fleming, and the flamboyant Canadian industrialist turned professional saboteur William Stephenson, known by the code name "Intrepid", upon whom Fleming would later base his fictional M16 agent James Bond. Richly detailed and carefully researched, Conant's narrative uses never-before-seen wartime letters, diaries and interviews to create a fascinating, lively account of deceit, double dealing and moral ambiguity - all in the name of victory. ungekürzt.

    Heart of the Highway Woman , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 48min
    Edie could barely remember her once-passionate past with the schoolmaster who stood before her desk. She recognized the dark, penetrating eyes and the dusty velvet suit which was only of value in the vague tall tales that he told about its acquisition. He was handsome, Edie had to admit, apart from the faint red scar around his left eye."So you see, Miss Teach," the schoolmaster said, clearing his throat, "We've heard that you have been training your students in - to describe it as politely as possible - the art of crime. There are rumors that you are graduating petty thieves and street urchins.""Now, I know better. Your students are high achievers, and against all odds, they have achieved so much. And they did not do so by disguise and trickery, but by impressing people in positions of power like Lady Triest. But if their fugitive fantasies are found out ...” ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Oliver Twist , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 967min
    One of Charles Dickens' most popular novels, Oliver Twist is the story of a young orphan who dares to say, "Please, sir, I want some more". After escaping from the dark and dismal workhouse where he was born, Oliver finds himself on the mean streets of Victorian-era London and is unwittingly recruited into a scabrous gang of scheming urchins. In this band of petty thieves, Oliver encounters the extraordinary and vibrant characters who have captured audiences' imaginations for more than 150 years: the loathsome Fagin, the beautiful and tragic Nancy, the crafty Artful Dodger, and the terrifying Bill Sikes, perhaps one of the greatest villains of all time. Rife with Dickens' disturbing descriptions of street life, the novel is buoyed by the purity of the orphan Oliver. Though he is treated with cruelty and surrounded by coarseness for most of his life, his pious innocence leads him at last to salvation - and the shocking discovery of his true identity. ungekürzt.
