Blackout, Hörbuch, Digital, 351min
Minutes after a Boeing 747 rises majestically into a Hong Kong sunset, a flash splits the darkening sky. The pilot - suddenly blinded and doubled over in pain - fumbles in the dark in a frantic effort to gain control as the huge jet shudders through its descent. Kat Bronsky, FBI agent and terrorism specialist, is assigned the hunt for a Challenger-class business jet seen nearby just before the incident. The case poses countless questions: was the flash a pilot error, a missile attack, or a malfunction? Or was it some new kind of weapon?

Sailing Into Destiny , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 183min
The great vessel gently pulled away from the port of Seven Islands in Quebec, Canada into the mighty ocean. I heard a voice say to me loud and clear: This is the defining moment of the dream, so prepare to launch out into the deep. This was only a fraction of the mega dream that had been envisioned years ago. The water was raging and boisterous, but we sailed slowly and majestically to our next port of call where the test of desire and will would be applied. When he was 29 years old George set out to fulfill his mother's charge. And so it was that he was thrust into a globetrotting adventure with many twists and turns. ungekürzt. Language: English.

The Tempest , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 120min
Is Shakespeare hinting at the end of his own magnificent career in these and others lines spoken by the great magician, Prospero? The Tempest was the last of Shakespeare's comedies, completed just before he retired to his native Stratford-upon-Avon; perhaps this delightful comedy was intended to signal the playwright's farewell to his beloved theater. The Tempest reflects Shakespeare's mature genius, with its story of innocence tempered by intrigue, hilarity bounded by melancholy. Audiences the world over still thrill to see The Tempest's dark comedy and magical fantasy. Sir Michael Redgrave and Vanessa Redgrave helped to build one of England's foremost theatrical families, a tradition that Ms. Redgrave continues today. And Hugh Griffith is one of the nation's greatest character actors. Together, they bring The Tempest majestically to life. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Richard II , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 154min
A wonderful classic recording of some of the greatest actors performing Shakespeare, for the first time released on digital download. Richard II is the main character of the play. The first Act begins with King Richard sitting majestically on his throne in full state. We learn that Henry Bolingbroke, Richard's cousin, is having a dispute with Thomas Mowbray, and they both want the king to act as judge. The subject of the quarrel is Bolingbroke's accusation that Mowbray had squandered monies given to him by Richard for the King's soldiers. Bolingbroke also accuses Mowbray of the recent murder of Duke of Gloucester, although John of Gaunt—Gloucester's brother and Bolingbroke's father—believes that Richard himself was responsible for the murder. After several attempts to calm both men, Richard acquiesces and Bolingbroke and Mowbray challenge each other to a duel, over the objections of both Richard and Gaunt. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Cold Mountain , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 866min
National Book Award, Fiction, 1997One of the most acclaimed novels in recent memory, Charles Frazier's Cold Mountain is a masterpiece that is at once an enthralling adventure, a stirring love story, and a luminous evocation of a vanished America in all its savagery, solitude, and splendor. Sorely wounded and fatally disillusioned in the fighting at Petersburg, Inman, a Confederate soldier, decides to walk back to his home in the Blue Ridge Mountains and to Ada, the woman he loved three years before. His trek across the disintegrating South brings him into intimate and sometimes lethal converse with slaves and marauders, bounty hunters and witches, both helpful and malign. At the same time, Ada is trying to revive her father's derelict farm and learn to survive in a world where the old certainties have been swept away. As it interweaves their stories, Cold Mountain asserts itself as an authentic American Odyssey: hugely powerful, majestically lovely, and keenly moving. Winner of the 1997 National Book Award. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Charles Frazier. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/rand/000368/bk_rand_000368_sample.mp3.
