    Odd Fish: Being a Casual Selection of London Residents , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 117min
    Stacy Aumonier was described by John Galsworthy as "one of the best short-story writers of all time". Odd Fish gives a keen insight into why the Nobel Prize winner believed Aumonier would outlive the writers of his day. In this collection of sketches of London Characters, Aumonier amply exhibits his genius for characterisation, his keen wit and his ruthless ascerbity. From reluctant fishmongers to opulent ballad singers with a shameful secret, drunks and scoundrals to eccentrics and geniuses, Aumonier sketches his characters from life and portays them as real, credible, rounded individuals, gradually unmasking them as though peeling the layers from an onion. Superb! ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Cathy Dobson. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/redd/000284/bk_redd_000284_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    The Deserter , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 52min
    Stacy Aumonier (1877-1928) was a British writer best known for his outstanding short stories. Nobel Prize-winner John Galsworthy described Aumonier as "one of the best short story writers of all time" and predicted that he would "outlive all the writers of his day".

His intensely visual prose meant his works were readily adaptable to the cinema screen, and several of his short stories were adapted by Alfred Hitchcock. "The Deserter" is a multilayered story about a young man, Wainwright, who is called up to the Great War but decides instead to desert. It is not that he is a coward, but he cannot identify with the cause of the Great War. He goes into hiding in the best possible place he can think of...and all seems to be going well. But then, one day, he meets Emma and falls in love. Suddenly he has a cause which he does believe in...somebody worth fighting for. Wainwright suddenly finds himself engaged in his own personal "Great War" and fighting just as formidable an enemy as the Germans. But like in the "Great War" outside, Wainwright's is a bitter victory. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Cathy Dobson.
