    In this lush, lyrical, and marvelously evocative novel, Catherine Texier takes a mystery from her family's past and draws from it a portrait of a remarkable woman, her great-grandmother Victorine. A young schoolteacher in a quiet province in France, Victorine had married and had two children. But when she falls desperately in love, she makes a startling choice, leaving her family for her lover and a new life in Indochina. On a single day in 1940, as Victorine reflects on her past, we travel back with her, from the willow-lined canals of her childhood home in Vendie to sun-drenched days and languorous nights along the Mekong River at the dawn of the 20th century. Hers is an unforgettable story of adventure and self-discovery, of a woman's struggle between duty and independence, tradition and freedom, longing and regret. Language: English.

    Peter Tyler seems to have it all: a beautiful and accomplished wife, a high-powered Wall Street career, a sprawling house in the suburbs. But beneath this perfect surface, things are not what they seem. Haunted by an unhappy childhood, Peter is drifting further and further from his college-sweetheart wife and her ideal of family life. Eventually, confused and dissatisfied, he seeks solace in a one-night stand. Before Peter can fully come to grips with what he's done, his house is broken into and his wife brutally murdered. When the police discover that a mysterious package from Peter's best friend, Andrei, is the only thing missing, they rule out random robbery. When they dig a little deeper and discover Peter's infidelity, combined with his refusal to reveal the identity of his lover, he becomes their prime suspect. To complete the nightmare, Andrei, who might hold the key to everything, has disappeared without a trace. Forced to run, Peter will have to question everything he has ever believed as he struggles to unravel the truth behind his wife's murder and Andrei's disappearance before the police catch up with him. Along the way, he'll encounter an embittered ex-cop with a taste for vengeance, a conniving pharmaceutical conglomerate, the head of an underground AIDS facility with ties to the Russian Mob, a corporate jackal bent on a swindle of epic proportions, and a spectacular act of revenge that will take your breath away. Whip-smart, lightning-paced, and adrenaline-fueled from first to last, this is an audiobook you won't be able to stop listening to until you know everything. Language: English.

    Gwangju, Südkorea, 1980: Ein Junge sucht nach der Leiche seines Freundes, der bei einem gewaltsam niedergeschlagenen Studentenaufstand gestorben ist. Währenddessen schwebt eine Seele über ihrem toten Körper und berichtet, was sie sieht. Jahrzehnte später: Eine Angestellte erinnert sich, wie sie Teil der Protestbewegung wurde und im Gefängnis landete. Eine Mutter trauert noch immer um ihren Sohn. Und die Autorin selbst setzt alles daran, in all dem einen Sinn auszumachen. Durch das kollektive Leid dieser Protagonisten und ihre Taten der Hoffnung entsteht nach und nach die Geschichte einer brutalisierten Gesellschaft auf der Suche nach einer Stimme. "Menschenwerk" ist das schriftliche Zeugnis unserer Bereitschaft, Leid zu riskieren, Gefangenschaft, sogar den Tod, um Gerechtigkeit zu erlangen. Es beschreibt die harte Realität der Unterdrückung und die durchschlagende Poesie der Menschlichkeit. deutsch. Rike Schmid. https://samples.audible.de/bk/fize/000010/bk_fize_000010_sample.mp3.

    It is 1946, and a stunned Europe is beginning its slow recovery from the ravages of World War II. Adam Miller has come to Venice to visit his widowed mother and try to forget the horrors he has witnessed as a U.S. Army war crimes investigator in Germany. Nothing has changed in Venice, not the beautiful palazzi, not the violins at Florian's, not the shifting water that makes the city, untouched by bombs, still seem a dream. But when Adam falls in love with Claudia, a Jewish woman scarred by her devastating experiences during the war, he is forced to confront another Venice, a city still at war with itself, haunted by atrocities it would rather forget. Everyone, he discovers, has been compromised by the Occupation; the international set drinking at Harry's, the police who kept order for the Germans, and most of all Gianni Maglione, the suave and enigmatic Venetian who happens to be his mother's new suitor. And when, finally, the troubled past erupts in violent murder, Adam finds himself at the center of a web of deception, intrigue, and unexpected moral dilemmas. When is murder acceptable? What are the limits of guilt? How much is someone willing to pay for a perfect alibi? Using the piazzas and canals of Venice as an enthralling but sinister backdrop, Joseph Kanon has again written a gripping historical thriller. Alibi is at once a murder mystery, a love story, and a superbly crafted novel about the nature of moral responsibility. Language: English. Narrator: Holter Graham.

    In this rich, involving novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author Danielle Steel, a woman's life catapults from the old to the new, as she learns to seize the moment. Stephanie Adams is a devoted stay-at-home mother, married to a successful lawyer in northern California, in a dead marriage she stayed in for years for the sake of her children. Then, on a ski trip in Squaw Valley, her fifty-two-year-old husband dies suddenly and all bets are off. Despite her children's grief, her own conflicting emotions and loneliness, Stephanie tries to move on, but struggles to find herself as an independent individual, after years of giving up her life for everyone else. A spur-of-the-moment road trip and fork in the road lead her to Las Vegas, the Grand Canyon, and a chance meeting-and her whole life changes forever. She meets country music megastar Chase Taylor, who opens his whole world to her, and Stephanie is no longer the same woman, and can't be anymore. A new man. A new life. The excitement of Nashville. She discovers not only Chase, but herself. The music is bittersweet and the lyrics true in his dazzling, exotic and honest world. As it deftly explores the complex ties between spouses, children, lovers and friends, and dances between the past and the future, Danielle Steel's moving novel brilliantly captures the shock of sudden loss, and the freedom it can bring. Here America's most beloved novelist shares the enduring power of seizing the day. Carpe Diem. Language: English. Narrator: Dan John Miller.

    A skeletal hand clutching an iron key lies hidden within a mermaid's wooden sarcophagus; a hand-drawn map is stolen from beneath the floorboards of an old museum. All while an eccentric inventor - the Sleeper - dreams of a passage to the centre of the hollow earth. And by dreaming, brings the passage into being.... Pursued by kidnappers thinking of riches and murder, Katherine Perkins and her two cousins must descend into the depths of the hollow earth in order to return the Sleeper to his ancestral home on the shores of Lake Windermere. But to awaken him might mean the end of his dream, the closing of the Windermere Passage, leaving the three intrepid explorers marooned in a savage land forgotten by time itself. Zeuglodon, set in the world envisioned in James P Blaylock's The Digging Leviathan, is a landscape of colour, mystery, and adventure, in which reality and fantasy are shifting currents, and nothing is quite what it seems. ungekürzt.

    1943 - ein Filmstudio vor den Toren Berlins: Eine Gruppe von Zwangsarbeitern lebt mitten im Krieg in einer Kulissenstadt, in der die Nazis Propaganda- und Durchhaltefilme drehen. Dass diese künstlich angelegte Welt voller Illusionen selbst dann nicht zu Schaden kommt, wenn halb Berlin im Bombenhagel zerstört wird, mutet geradezu absurd an. Abgesehen von einem dänischen Freiwilligen - dem Alter Ego des Autors - sind die Arbeiter zwangsrekrutierte Ausländer aus besetzten Gebieten. Obwohl ihr Aufenthalt in Berlin nicht freiwillig erfolgt, scheint sie der Krieg, der um sie herum tobt, nicht zu betreffen. Selbst ein Bombenangriff hat eher den Charakter einer privaten Irritation und stört nicht mehr als das schlechte, eintönige Esse oder die Flöhe im Bett. Die Nebenpersonen ist kein Kriegsbuch, sondern eine Schilderung von Menschen, die als Nebenpersonen in ihrer Welt leben - abseits von der Wirklichkeit, ohnmächtig, übersehen und außerstand, sich sichtbar zu machen oder Beziehungen einzugehen. Den Menschentyp, den Peter Seeberg schildert, gab und gibt es zu allen Zeiten. Dies macht heute das Buch so aktuell wie kurz nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg. deutsch. Matthias Lühn. https://samples.audible.de/bk/lind/000062/bk_lind_000062_sample.mp3.
