A Portrait of Joan: The Autobiography of Joan Crawford , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 447min
It starts with a telegram. MGM wires young Lucille LeSueur to tell her that she's been placed under contract at a princely $75 a week, and is expected to report immediately to Hollywood, California. A fresh-faced 17-year-old with big eyes and an air of elegance, she would go on to become one of the greatest stars in Hollywood history: the fabulous Joan Crawford. Through four marriages, countless cocktail parties and more than 100 appearances in film and television, Joan lived the life of a legend from the first day she stepped onto the back lot. After becoming famous in the silent era, by 1938 she was dubbed "Box Office Poison," and her career was considered over - but Crawford never quit. Over the next 40 years, she clawed her way back to the top, and in this engaging autobiography, she tells her story - her way. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Alyssa Bresnahan.

Her Forbidden Knight , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 407min
An innocent young telegraph operator becomes a counterfeiter’s target. Once, the Lamartine Hotel was a quiet refuge for New York’s stuffy fashionable set. But by the 1890s, fashion has moved uptown, and the lobby of the Lamartine has been overtaken by natty young sports, who pass their afternoons with billiards or shows of noisy derring-do. Their preferred damsel is Lila Williams, a delicate young telegraph operator whose shyness so charms them that they resolve to defend her against any ill-behaved characters. They are about to face their fiercest challenger, who rides in the gleaming armor of a millionaire. His name is John Knowlton, and from the first telegram she writes for him, Lila is charmed. He has money, good looks, and a criminal secret, and his insidious charisma will demand heroic effort from the knights of the Lamartine billiard table. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Seasons in Hell: With Billy Martin, Whitey Herzog and "The Worst Baseball Team in History"-The 1973-1975 Texas Rangers , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 448min
You think your team is bad? In this landmark work on one of the most tortured franchises in baseball, one reporter discovers that nine innings can feel like an eternity. In early 1973, gonzo sportswriter Mike Shropshire agreed to cover the Texas Rangers for the Fort-Worth Star-Telegram, not realizing that the Rangers were arguably the worst team in baseball history. Seasons in Hell is a riotous, candid, irreverent behind-the-scenes account in the tradition of The Bronx Zoo and Ball Four, following the Texas Rangers from Whitey Herzog's reign in 1973 through Billy Martin's tumultuous tenure. Offering wonderful perspectives on dozens of unique (and likely never-to-be-seen-again) baseball personalities, Seasons in Hell recounts some of the most extreme characters ever to play the game and brings to life the no-holds-barred culture of major league baseball in the mid-'70s. ungekürzt.

Montana Gunsmoke: A Ben Bridges Western , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 198min
A desperate telegram from young Lane Jenkins brought Flint McKay north to Montana, where Randolph Billington was using every dirty trick in the book to take over the territory. But what could Flint do about it? He was just an ageing drifter with failing eyesight. He had no home and no kin, just a horse, a saddle and a pistol he’d won in a bunkhouse poker game. To Lane, though, Flint was the only man who could stand up to the buzzards who’d killed his father. As soon as Flint started making his presence felt around town, Billington sent his hired gun, Owen Thorpe, to get rid of him. But Flint was a whole heap tougher than he looked – and as the land-grabbers soon learned to their cost, he proved to be a hard man to kill. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Chaz Allen.

In Promises, 13-year-old Lizzie and her nine-year-old brother Colin are on their way from England to Canada in 1940. Nightly German bombings convinced their mum to enroll them in a government evacuation program. They're told this short holiday will be filled with trips to the Rocky Mountains, the chance to meet cowboys and Indians, and a promise to return them to England when the war is over. When one of Colin's friends is swept overboard, Lizzy has doubts about this adventure. Arriving in Nova Scotia, they are placed with Mr. and Mrs. Harris, who work them like slaves - Colin as a hand on his lobster boat and Lizzie as a servant victimized by Mrs. Harris' abuses. When a telegram arrives saying their mum was killed in an air raid, Lizzie realizes there's no reason to go home. Can she rescue Colin and herself from the Harrises?

The Wind Chill Factor , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 924min
His marriage destroyed by drinking, John Cooper returns to Cambridge, Massachusetts, trying to recapture the joy he felt as an undergraduate in Harvard University’s sacred halls. He is just beginning to piece his life together when he gets a telegram calling him home to Minnesota. The message comes from Buenos Aires, and with Cooper’s family history, that can mean only one thing: The Nazis are staging a comeback. To John and his brother, their grandfather was a kind, distinguished old man. But to the American people, he was the worst kind of traitor. An industrialist who spent the 1930s in business with Fascists, he became infamous as “America’s Number One Nazi.” When Hitler’s old lieutenants decide to get together a Fourth Reich, the Coopers are the first family they call. John hasn’t even made it to Minnesota when the first attempt on his life comes—a message that if he isn’t ready to honor his family legacy, he will die for it." ungekürzt. Language: English.
