    When a young solicitor, Jonathan Harker, visits the heart of Transylvania - ostensibly to meet reclusive nobleman Count Dracula - he cannot begin to imagine what horrors might lie in store for him there...or the chain of events he will set in motion at Castle Dracula. Soon, Dracula's bloodlust spreads to England's shores, and Harker's fiancée, Mina Murray, becomes embroiled in his affairs. Her best friend, Lucy Westenra, falls victim to the vampire's thirst, and it is only with the help of an unlikely bunch of allies that the Count might be defeated...but can the undead ever truly perish? Mark Gatiss stars in this chilling three-hour audio adaptation of Bram Stoker's classic vampire story, dramatised by Jonathan Barnes. This release also includes bonus interviews with Dracula's writer and cast, plus a selection of James Dunlop's soundtrack for the production. Directed by Scott Handcock. Language: English. Narrator: Mark Gatiss, Joseph Kloska, Deirdre Mullins, Nigel Betts, Rupert Young, Katy Manning, Alex Jordan. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/bgfn/000355/bk_bgfn_000355_sample.mp3.

    Author Chris Minnick exposes the gritty events and strange characters that inhabit a small traveling circus in his new novel, Ferment. Set in the recent past, the book provides a glimpse of what life might be like in the final days of a once-great institution of American entertainment. Told as a series of 48 short vignettes, Ferment bounces between past and present and between the ordinary and the extraordinary with playful and deceivingly simple language. The mysteries of the circus bubble up throughout the story's twists and turns as the listeners is drawn into a troubled world of people, institutions, and morals on the edge of collapse. Minnick's style has been compared to that of Kurt Vonnegut or Charles Bukowski. Those who enjoy hearing about quirky, raw characters and unfamiliar situations will love Ferment. ungekürzt.

    Mrs. Flax was happiest when she was leaving a place, but I wanted to stay put long enough to fall down crazy and hear the Word of God. I always called my mother Mrs. Flax. So begins this extraordinary first novel about one wild year in the life of 14-year-old Charlotte Flax, when she and her sister Kate move with Mrs. Flax into a sleepy 1960's Massachusetts town. Mrs. Flax is a woman who wears polka-dot dresses and serves hors d'oeuvres for dinner every night, and Kate is a child who basically wants to be a fish. And then there's Charlotte, who in Patty Dann's hands, is transformed into a young woman of infinite whim and variety. Charlotte's main ambition in life is to become a saint, preferably martyred, though she's Jewish. She's smitten with the shy young caretaker at the convent at the top of the hill. Dann has created a young girl who accepts the unkindness of the mad universe in which she's whirling and takes it on with a savage glee. Charlotte Flax is like no one you have ever met - and someone you know very well. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Elizabeth Evans.

    In der LILYLA Hörbuch-Edition "Meisternovellen" erwarten Sie auserlesene Erzählungen der deutschsprachigen, russischsprachigen, englischsprachigen, amerikanischenglischsprachigen und französischsprachigen Weltliteratur. Wir haben uns bemüht, eine Auswahl zu treffen, aus welcher deutlich wird, wie vielfältig und abwechslungsreich Literatur ist. Französische Verspieltheit, Russische Abgrundstiefe, Englische Leichtigkeit, Deutsche Dualität und Amerikanische Unbeschwertheit sind nur schwache Unterscheidungsmerkmale zwischen der jeweiligen Literatursprache. Die Gedanken der großen Autoren bedingen sich gegenseitig und stehen in einer Wechselwirkung zueinander, so dass in jedem ihrer Werke Spuren aller anderen zu finden sind. Ohne Kenntnisse über Anderes und Fremdes zu haben, wäre es nicht möglich gewesen Eigenes zu schaffen, was jeder der Autoren dieser "Hörbuch-Kollektion" getan hat. Ihre Erzählungen werden mit Recht dem Kanon der Weltliteratur zugerechnet, weil sie das widerspiegeln, was dem jeweiligen Zeitgeist entspricht und weil ihre Erzählungen von dem handeln, was von zeitloser Ästhetik und Würde ist: Menschlichkeit und ungeschönte Beschreibung der Realität mit all ihrem pulsierenden Leben, voll von Widersprüchen, Hoffnungen, Ängsten, Romanzen, Schicksalsschlägen, Lebensfreude, Brutalität, Liebe und dem Sinn unserer Existenz und deren Werte mit all seiner Sanftheit und all seiner Härte. Diese zeitlose Literatur hat ihren unumstößlichen Platz in allen aufgeklärten Gesellschaften sicher. Der Sprecher Friedrich Frieden taucht in die Gedankenwelt der Autoren der Weltliteratur ab und verleiht dieser mit seinem außergewöhnlichen Sprach-, Rhythmik-, Tempo-, und Authentizitätsstil gelebten Ausdruck. Inhalt: Honore de Balzac: Franz der Erste fastet, Mark Twain: Wie man eine Erkältung kuriert, Barbiere, Mein erster literarischer Versuch, Friedrich Glauser: Ali, Schreiben, Anton Tschechow deutsch. Friedrich Frieden. https://samples.audible.de/bk/lily/000220/bk_lily_000220_sample.mp3.

    The downloadable, digital audiobook edition of Ali Smith’s remarkable exploration of love, life and death, read by the author herself. Originally four lectures given by Ali Smith at Oxford University, Artful is a tidal wave of ideas in four thematically organised bursts of thought: On Time, On Form, On Edge and On Offer and On Reflection. Refusing to be tied down to either fiction or the essay form, Artful is narrated by a character who is haunted - literally - by a former lover, the writer of a series of lectures about art and literature. Full of both the poignancy and humour of fiction and all the sideways insights and jaunty angles you would expect from Ali Smith’s criticism, it explores form, style, life, love, death, mortality, immortality and what art and writing can mean. ungekürzt.

    Many books have been written about German horror camps where, from 1939 until 1945, human beings were subjected to degrading experiences, or were destroyed like swarms of helpless insects. Every publisher in the USA has been offered at least one hair-raising diary, and the flow of these human stories will probably continue for many years to come. It would seem to be a sign of mass psychosis. Former inmates of concentration camps have to tell their story, and many people feel reluctant to read or listen to another book filled with the smoke of burned bodies. Morbid or not, it is indeed a strong urge that prompts those who escaped from hell to tell the world about it. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Craig Beck.
