    Metamorphosis: Junior Year , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 88min
    Ovid’s got a lot on his mind, and he pours it all into the pages of a notebook. Inspired by his namesake, he wryly records his classmates’ dramas as modern-day Roman mythology. There’s Sophie and Caleb, the Psyche and Cupid of cyber-couples; poetic Paula, who pursues filmmaker Franny like Apollo chasing Daphne; and graphic-novelist Duwayne, a Proserpina shuttling between divorced parents. Meanwhile, Ovid hides his own Olympian struggles and a disturbing secret. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: James Franco, David Franco.

    One Nation Under Therapy: How the Helping Culture is Eroding Self-Reliance , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 510min
    Americans have traditionally placed great value on self-reliance and fortitude. Recent decades, however, have seen the rise of a therapeutic ethic that views Americans as emotionally underdeveloped, requiring the ministrations of mental-health professionals to cope with life's vicissitudes. Today, having a book for every ailment, a counselor for every crisis, a lawsuit for every grievance, and a TV show for every problem degrades one's native ability to cope with life's challenges. Drawing on established science and common sense, the authors reveal how "therapism" and the burgeoning trauma industry have come to pervade our lives. Topical, provocative, and wryly amusing, One Nation Under Therapy demonstrates that "talking about" problems is no substitute for confronting them. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Pretending to Be Me: Philp Larkin, a Portrait , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 85min
    Pretending to Be Me is an intimate, acerbic, and occasionally scurrilous show about the poet, jazz aficionado, and Hull University librarian Philip Larkin. Larkin has moved home: surrounded by packing cases, playing selections from his favourite jazz LPs, and making himself cups of tea, and later whiskies, he reflects wryly on writing and life. Hilarious and moving, the narrative shifts seamlessly between Larkin's outrageous wit and the poems, which Courtenay reads with powerful directness and simplicity. Philip Larkin, one of the foremost figures in 20th-Century English poetry, feared his epitaph would be: "They f*** you up, your mum and dad". This, and other familiar poems, including "An Arundel Tomb", "The Whitsun Weddings", and "High Windows". are included in Pretending to Be Me. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Tom Courtenay.

    The Road , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 294min
    In The Road, Jack London embraces the concepts of unconfined individualism and Darwinism through his autobiographical account of his time riding the rails of Canada and the United States. The author of White Fang, The Call of the Wild, and Sea Wolf, relays the time leading up to turning point in his life - a perfunctory trial and a 30-day imprisonment in the Erie County Penitentiary for the crime of vagrancy - an experience so degrading that he turned to a career in writing. This tale of rugged individualism influenced Jack Kerouac and inspired his tale, On the Road. Simultaneously autobiographical and instructional, The Road wryly presents a way of life that embodies wanderlust and the soul's search for true freedom. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: T. Anthony Quinn. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/mike/001302/bk_mike_001302_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.
