    Wuthering Heights , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 694min
    Wuthering Heights is the sole novel of Emily Brontë, who died a year after its publication at the age of 30. A tale of exceptional emotional and imaginative force, it is an arresting vision of metaphysical passion, in which nature and society, heaven and hell, and dynamic and passive forces are powerfully juxtaposed. Wuthering Heights is the name of an old house, high up on the Yorkshire moors, occupied by the Earnshaw family. Events are set in motion by the arrival of Heathcliff, a child waif who has been living the life of a wild animal in the slums of Liverpool. Adopted by the kind Mr. Earnshaw, he is bullied and humiliated after Earnshaw’s death by the new master of the house, Hindley. But Heathcliff’s passionate and ferocious nature finds its completion in Earnshaw’s daughter, Catherine. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Carolyn Seymour.

    Guns , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 139min
    Guns are a black and white issue, right? Well, it's not quite that simple. This book covers every aspect of the gun debate in the US - from hunting to mass shootings to questions about constitutional rights, no angle is left unexplored. Written mostly as the current debate about guns and gun control was heating up, you'll find well-written and thought out points here as well as introspection about the dangers inherent in an armed and sometimes unstable society. Questions about what the Second Amendment is really for and the seeming ubiquity of violence in society are juxtaposed against concrete concerns about self-protection, tradition, and the clash of cultures in a fantastically listenable and engaging format that moves at a breathless pace. One of the only books that presents every side of the issue, this is a must-listen for those even moderately interested in the topic. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Notes from the West Pole is the spiritual manifesto of a worldly man who loves this life and its vigorous challenges.You won’t find here the pronouncements of a barefoot yogi advising you to go sit on a mountaintop or retire to a cave with a begging bowl; rather, you will witness the intimate progress of a seeker who knows material success but who looks beyond all of that for the key to partaking of the world’s pleasures while rejecting the age-old, obsolete “warrior” models of antagonism, and aggression. With a full spectrum of expression, ranging from the whimsical to the empirical, Peter Wells offers us the narrative of his odyssey of discovery. Poetry and song, personal anecdotes, graceful line drawings, and lush photos of Mendocino, and environs are juxtaposed with short, efficient disquisitions on history, government and religion that provide his quest with a solid underpinning of reality and hard truths. ungekürzt.

    Cowboy Lust: Erotic Romance for Women , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 422min, (USK 18)
    There's a reason Western romance novels never go out of fashion. The cowboy is an iconic figure embodying the dichotomy of the fiercely independent, earthy alpha male juxtaposed with the male as a nurturer and protector. Cowboys take care of their women in every possible way. Wild and wayward women are gentled by the scent of horse and cow and the sight of sun-kissed skin, the feel of work-hardened thighs and arms, and the sound of a deep-voiced Texas drawl. Contributors at the top of the Western romance genre, including Charlene Teglia, Randi Alexander, and Cat Johnson, have corralled here strong and memorable characters ranging from a rodeo star and a cop on horseback to a feisty female gunslinger. Traversing romantic settings from Montana, Texas, California, Mexico, and the Outback of Australia, the stories in Cowboy Lust are risky and risque, full of studs in spurs hot enough to send you to a vacation on a dude ranch! ungekürzt.

    Faces of Villain , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 135min
    A hallucinatory and multifaceted novella, that uses rhyme and near rhyme, metaphor and surrealism to bring forth a story where each layer reveals an underlying tale of cognitive dissonance.  A melding of two juxtaposed stories, we first meet Jack Trade.Rejecting his late father’s desires for him to become a carpenter, Jack Trade becomes a thief instead. On more than one occasion, Trade is caught but always manages to escape. Although he is a thief, the townspeople grow to love him for his evasion of the law, even to his almost inevitable and inescapable end. In the second strand, John Teefer, a personification of Trade’s consciousness, wakes up on an island. Teefer is rescued by a reclusive old man and meets other characters; each one representing different personifications of Jack Trade.

    The Third Coincidence , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 571min
    Headlines scream across the nation, as a country in near panic pleads for the capture of the killers. With little progress, U.S. President Samuel Schroeder asks Jack McCall, a veteran of the CIA and Defense Intelligence, to head up a special multi-agency task force to find the killers. A frustrated and unhappy FBI designates, as its representative, Rachel Johnstone, an agent with whom Jack has had some personal history. The Third Coincidence unfolds amidst continued assassinations, accusations that the president is attempting to form his own secret police, and confirmation hearings for reluctant nominees to fill the vacant positions while the Supreme Court struggles to sustain a quorum. Will a terrorist group or a mad assassin succeed in destroying these revered intuitions? In the spirit of The Day of the Jackal and The Manchurian Candidate, this story is juxtaposed through the eyes of both the hunter and the hunted as the devious plot to change America hurdles forward. ungekürzt.

    The Seduction of Eva Volk: A Novel of Hitler's Christians , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 770min
    In World War II, American soldiers were shocked to discover thousands of German POWs carrying New Testaments. Civilized men serving Hitler? Impossible, or so one would think when juxtaposed against jackbooted Aryan supremacy and the Holocaust. The astonishing truth, however, is that the majority of Germany's population willingly supported Hitler, so powerful was the seduction and so profound the blindness. Never before undertaken in a novel, The Seduction of Eva Volk is an inside look at the not-so-simple paradox of a Christian culture proclaiming faith in Führer with bullets and bombs. Through the eyes of young Eva, the alluring charm of the Hitler movement is personified in a lover. Desperately seeking wholeness in her broken world, she is quickly swept away by the thrilling passions of love and war...until she finds herself facing the agonizing consequences of lost sight. "I was blind, but now I see" brings us to the gut-wrenching climax that challenges the boundaries of hope and redemption. ungekürzt.
