According to Audrey , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 389min
What would Audrey do?Cautious and introverted, 17-year-old Dove spends most of her free time pursuing her one true passion: painting. The twinkling lights of Balboa Island, the ferryboat to the peninsula, the fire pits on Big Corona Beach...these have long been the subjects of her canvases as she daydreams about finding an Audrey Hepburn-film kind of romance. A hotshot jock is not exactly the type of guy she's been looking for - but when Leo Donovan drops his cool act to show his vulnerable side, Dove begins to question everything. But first she'll have to navigate her way through claim-staking mean girls and disapproving parents - and still keep her focus on attending the art school of her dreams. Being in love turns out to be more complex than the average silver-screen classic. Can Dove follow her heart (and Audrey's cues) to create her own perfect Hollywood ending? Fans of Audrey Hepburn and the movie Breakfast at Tiffany's will love this fun coming-of-age story. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Happy LaShelle.

A Cheetah's Tale , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 389min
This charming autobiographical tale from HRH Princess Michael of Kent tells of a girl growing up and the incredible bond that can exist between people and animals. Beautifully written by a natural storyteller, it is also a wonderful portrait of Africa - the cheetah version of Born Free - and will delight listeners worldwide. In the early 1960s, Marie Christine von Reibnitz (who would later become HRH Princess Michael of Kent) lived with her father on his farm in Mozambique. Then just a teenager, Princess Michael was entranced by the African landscape, by the wildlife and by the people she met. It was one of the happiest times of her life, and she recounts that it was an orphaned cheetah cub (called Tess) who played a huge part in making it so. The relationship between the young Princess Michael and Tess, whom she hand-reared and later successfully released into the wild, having trained her to hunt and survive on her own, will touch every listener's heart. Vivid, moving and hugely engaging, replete with anecdotes and hair-raising encounters, this is a major natural history autobiography. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Heroes and Villains , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 389min
A modern fable, a postapocalyptic romance, a Gothic horror story: Angela Carter's genre-defying fantasia Heroes and Villains. Sharp-eyed Marianne lives in a white tower made of steel and concrete with her father and the other Professors. Outside, where the land is thickly wooded and wild beasts roam, live the Barbarians, who raid and pillage in order to survive. Marianne is strictly forbidden to leave her civilised world but, fascinated by these savage outsiders, decides to escape. There, beyond the wire fences, she will discover a decaying paradise, encounter the tattooed Barbarian boy Jewel and go beyond the darkest limits of her imagination. Playful, sensuous, violent and gripping, Heroes and Villains is an ambiguous and deliriously rich blend of postapocalyptic fiction, Gothic fantasy, literary allusion and twisted romance. Angela Carter (1940-92) was born in Eastbourne and later evacuated to live with her grandmother in Yorkshire. She read English at Bristol University and, after escaping an early marriage, went to live in Japan for a number of years. She wrote nine novels, which blend fantasy, science fiction and Gothic, and is often referred to as a writer of magical realism. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Rosie Akerman.

Wie Träume wahr werden, Hörbuch, Digital, 389min
Wenn es nicht immer wieder Menschen gegeben hätte, die ihren Träumen gefolgt sind, säßen wir heute immer noch auf den Bäumen. -- Gerald Hüther Träumen kann jeder von uns allein, aber umsetzen können wir unsere Pläne und Vorhaben nur gemeinsam mit anderen. In einer immer komplexeren Welt werden solche Dream-Teams als wirkungsvolle Gestalter unserer Zukunft immer wichtiger. Wer erfahren will, wie Träume wahr werden, sollte also wissen, wie sie zusammenfinden, woher sie die Zuversicht nehmen, zu wagen, was alle anderen für nicht realisierbar halten - und woher sie die Kraft schöpfen, um weiterzumachen, auch wenn es scheinbar nicht mehr weitergeht. deutsch.
