The Privilege of the Sword , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 936min
Award-winning author, narrator, and screenwriter Neil Gaiman personally selected this book, and, using the tools of the Audiobook Creation Exchange (ACX), cast the narrators and produced this work for his audiobook label, Neil Gaiman Presents. The Privilege of the Sword tells the tale of a young girl who risks everything to go live with her eccentric, litigious - and extremely rich – uncle Alec in the colorful city Kushner has created, a city where elegant nobles can mingle with raffish actors one moment and deadly swordsmen the next. Fans of Kushner's first book, Swordspoint, will already be familiar with Alec as the angry young scholar with mysterious origins, living in the city’s Riverside district with a notorious killer swordsman. Now, in The Privilege of the Sword, some years later, Alec is the Mad Duke Tremontaine, living in a mansion on the Hill, still tortured by his past…. But you don’t need to have read Swordspoint to enjoy The Privilege of the Sword. This is the story of Katherine herself, a girl who starts out imagining her life will be a sort of Jane Austen-style romance, full of dances and dresses and parties - but finds that her iconoclastic uncle has other plans. When she gets to his house in the city, the Mad Duke dresses Lady Katherine in men's clothes, gets her a first-rate tutor in swordplay, and sets her loose on a traditional world that is not really ready for her…. Nor, at first, is she ready for it. A few words from Neil on Privilege of the Sword: "Life hands us so many moments when we hover between who we were raised to be, who the people around us are trying to make us, and who we are trying to become. In Katherine's case, that means encountering a range of people and behaviors her mother never prepared her for - including some shocking acts of violence, both physical and emotional. As one of Kushner’s most charming characters, an actress known as 'The Blac ungekürzt. Language: English.

Scary World Theory
Brillante Mischung aus Pop und Elektronik von Lali Puna. Nach ersten Alleingängen am Vier-Spur-Rekorder entwickelte sich Lali Puna zum ausgewachsenen Bandprojekt, das sich seine festen Mitmusiker (Console, Notwist, Tied and Tickled Trio, Iso 68, Fred is Dead) und Kollaborateure (Bomb the Bass, Two Lone Swordsmen) sorgfältig auswählt. Nach dem international umjubelten Albumdebüt "Tridecoder" 1999 folgte 2001 mit "Scary World Theory" ein Tonträger, der Pop und Politik aufs Beste vereint. Valerie Trebeljahrs vordergründig ruhige, fast schüchterner Gesang setzen sich persönlich und kein bisschen zurückgenommen mit der Welt und Umwelt auseinander, mit Zuständen, die hier idealistisch und schonungslos dokumentiert werden. Produziert von Mario Thaler (u.a. Notwist, Slut) zeigt sich "Scary World Theory" als zuversichtlich melancholische Platte, die mit sich selbst glücklich ist. "Magie in jeder Rille" urteilte INTRO und DeBUG meinte: "Revolutioniert den Pop für morgen. Jeder Track ist eine Perle".- Shop: odax
