    Crime and Punishment (Recorded Books Edition) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1501min
    Fyodor Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment is universally regarded as one of literature's finest achievements, as the great Russian novelist explores the inner workings of a troubled intellectual. Raskolnikov, a nihilistic young man in the midst of a spiritual crisis, makes the fateful decision to murder a cruel pawnbroker, justifying his actions by relying on science and reason, and creating his own morality system. Dehumanized yet sympathetic, exhausted yet hopeful, Raskolnikov represents the best and worst elements of modern intellectualism. The aftermath of his crime and Petrovich's murder investigation result in an utterly compelling, truly unforgettable cat-and-mouse game. This stunning dramatization of Dostoevsky's magnum opus brings the slums of St. Petersburg and the demons of Raskolnikov's tortured mind vividly to life. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Antic Hay , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 546min
    Young Oxford tutor Theodore Gumbril has become thoroughly dismayed by the formality of college life and the staid British institutions of learning. An impetuous need for celebration, even rebellion, possesses him. He and his bohemian companions embark on wild and daring "bacchanalian" adventures that steer them resolutely away from stifling conventions of behavior.Antic Hay, first published in 1923, is one of Aldous Huxley's earlier novels, and like them is primarily a 'novel of ideas' involving conversations which disclose viewpoints rather than establish characters; its polemical theme unfolds against the backdrop of London's post-war nihilistic Bohemia. This is Huxley at his biting, brilliant best -- a novel, loud with derisive laughter, which satirically scoffs at all conventional morality and at stuffy people everywhere -- a novel that's always charged with excitement. ungekürzt.

    The Place of Dead Roads: The Red Night Trilogy, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 589min
    From the beat generation and counterculture author William S. Burroughs comes the second novel of the Red Night trilogy, available in audio for the first time. This surreal fable, set in America's Old West, features a cast of notorious characters: the Crying Gun, who breaks into tears at the sight of his opponent; the Priest, who goes into gunfights giving his adversaries the last rites; and the Nihilistic Kid himself, Kim Carsons, a homosexual gunslinger who, with a succession of beautiful sidekicks, sets out to challenge the morality of small-town America and fight for intergalactic freedom. Fantastical and humorous, The Place of Dead Roads continues Burroughs' exploration of society's controlling forces - the state, the church, women, literature, drugs - with a style that is utterly unique in 20th-century literature. ungekürzt.

    Twilight Warriors: The Soldiers, Spies, and Special Agents Who Are Revolutionizing the American Way of War , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 910min
    When US troops withdrew from Afghanistan at the end of 2014, the longest conflict in our nation's history came to an end. Yet we are still at war - no longer with other states but with a host of new enemies, from jihadi insurgents and nihilistic terrorists to narco-traffickers and modern-day pirates. In Twilight Warriors, award-winning foreign correspondent James Kitfield introduces us to the tight-knit brotherhood that strives to keep the United States safe from the dimly understood threats it now faces. Together these men have broken down the boundaries between their respective agencies to engineer a network-centric way of fighting using a seamless web of intelligence analysts, information networks, FBI forensics experts, and Special Forces units to take the fight to America's enemies as never before. ungekürzt.

    The Politics of Bad Faith: The Radical Assault on America's Future , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 458min
    In this intellectual companion piece to David Horowitz's acclaimed autobiography, Radical Son, the most famous defector from the radical Left argues that the historic themes of that conflict still drive our politics and animate our cultural debates today.With keen political insight and a masterful grasp of history, Horowitz traces the radical project from its origins in 19th-century socialism to the disastrous excesses of such current "progressive" causes as political correctness, radical feminism, racial preferences, and what he describes as the nihilistic campaign to "deconstruct" the American idea itself. He points out the refusal of the political Left to learn from the checkered history of progressive movements for social justice and equal outcomes, and warns that this refusal is creating a new "cold war" against America - a culture war that pits "progressives" against America's founding principles and ideas. ungekürzt.

    The Mythos of Cormac McCarthy
    For over 40 years, Cormac McCarthy's novels have presented an intriguing puzzle for readers and critics alike. Often described as plotless and impenetrable, devoid of ethics and morality, or simply as nihilistic, his tales have confounded interpretation through their dizzying array of ambiguities and contradictions even as they tantalize the reader with consistent hints of philosophical coherence. Offering what one of McCarthy's most enigmatic characters terms "a string in the maze," this study applies the traditional tools of close reading and thematic analysis to elucidate that coherence in the first eight novels. Following McCarthys methods from the Orchard Keeper of 1965 through the completion of the Border Trilogy in 1998, chapters on each novel identify narrative techniques and technical innovations. Intended for scholars and general readers alike, the essays show how McCarthy uses characters drawn from Appalachian regional folklore and the history of the American West as archetypes and Everymen, exploring the parallel lives of his paired protagonists--one invariably an ambivalent wanderer, the other a man committed to a quest.
