    Cat's Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut: Summary & Analysis , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 32min
    Cat's Cradle is the fourth novel by American writer Kurt Vonnegut, first published in 1963. It explores issues of science, technology, and religion, satirizing the arms race, and many other targets along the way. After turning down his original thesis in 1947, the University of Chicago awarded Vonnegut his master's degree in anthropology in 1971 for Cat's Cradle. The title of the book derives from the string game "cat's cradle." Early in the book, the character Felix Hoenikker, (a fictional co-inventor of the atom bomb), was playing cat's cradle when the bomb was dropped, and the game is later referred to by his son, Newton Hoenikker. ungekürzt.

    The Best of Saki - Volume 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 202min
    The delicious, biting wit of Saki's short stories satirizing Edwardian high society are some of the funniest and most delightful exquisite literary miniatures. In this first volume, there are 22 glittering examples. Saki was the pen name of Hector Hugh Monro. He was born in Burma in 1870, where his father was a senior official in the Burma police. From the age of two, he lived with two maiden aunts and his grandmother in Devon and was educated in Exmouth and at the Bedford Grammar School. Later he traveled in Europe with his father. He joined the Burma police but resigned after a year because of ill health and returned to England, where he began his writing career as a journalist and short story writer for magazines and newspapers. Saki is regarded as a master of the short story. At the start of the First World War, he refused a commission, enlisted as a private, and went to France, where, in November 1916, he was killed by a shot to the head, his last words being, "Put that bloody cigarette out." ungekürzt.
