Kirza
Kirza (The Army Boot) is arguably the funniest and most tragic of all Russian-language books about the Soviet army. Its author Vadim Chekunov serves as a self-appointed narrator who finds himself pulled out of college to be drafted, then observes his own spiritual awakening with a healthy dose of army humor. This is the author's original uncensored version of the book. The publisher renounces all responsibility to whoever manages to work their way through his story of woe without laughing at least once.- Shop: buecher

Edna Pontellier is married, twenty-eight, and at the cross road of her life. She is passionate and artistic, but has no one who understands her deep yearnings.

Here she is enveloped in a small circle of friends where she can begin to throw off the strictures and moirés of the 1890s bourgeoisie. Stepwise Edna renounces her obligations, takes a lover, and is propelled in a course that frees, consumes, and eventually destroys her.

Guardian of the Vision , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1334min
The glory of the Elizabethan Age is tarnished by the continuing religious conflict begun by Henry VIII. Griffin Kirkwood renounces his title, his lands, his love for the mysterious demon-ridden Roanna, and his magical heritage as a descendant of both King Arthur and the Merlin to become a Catholic priest in France. His twin, Donovan (his mirror image in face and form and rarely more than a thought away) shoulders the responsibilities willingly. He agrees to two arranged-marriages, one after the other, and takes on the outward appearance of whichever religion is dominant to protect all that he loves, but without magic, or the love of his life. Together and separately the twins must fight to guide Queen Elizabeth through the intricate maze of politics and religion. Their spiritual and magical journeys cross each other, oppose, and re-align as they battle internal demons and external threats. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Rebecca Rogers.

The Man Without a Country , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 62min
The Man Without a Country is a novella or long short story by Edward Everett Hale, first published in 1863 but set in the early 19th century. The narrative is an allegory about the upheaval of the Civil War and was intended to promote the Union cause. It tells the tale of Lieutenant Philip Nolan, who renounces his country during a treason trial. He refuses when asked to recant, so the judge grants his request, and Nolan spends the rest of his life on the high seas being transported from one Navy ship to another. Thus, Nolan painfully learns the true worth and meaning of his country and gets to miss it more than anything else in the world. The revelation of his room on the USS Levant, and the description of his death, are deeply moving. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jacquie Cotillard.
