    The Wind in the Willows , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 415min
    This quintessentially English novel is considered by many to be a masterpiece of storytelling. Set for the most part on a riverbank in rural England, against a backdrop of social, agricultural, and industrial change typical of the early 20th century, Kenneth Grahame's portrayal of the anthropomorphic characters (which include Mole, Ratty, Badger, Otter, and, of course, the incorrigible Mr. Toad) is imaginative, lyrical, and without doubt uniquely humorous. Above all, in this work, the writer strikes a deep and resonant chord of human emotions. There are other audio versions of The Wind in the Willows; however, this rendering brings a fresh, clear, and enthusiastic narration inspired by a lifelong affection for the book. ungekürzt.

When Millie suddenly becomes violent and attacks another girl, Eliza knows something awful is about to happen. She will do anything to protect Millie, but once Eliza remembers her own terrible secret, it is impossible to forget.

    A Fine Specimen , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 483min, (USK 18)
    Lieutenant Alex Cruz eats, sleeps and breathes law enforcement. He's tough and brusque, and cops and criminals alike tremble before him. And that's the way he likes it. Until he meets Caitlin Summers - and decides he wants her trembling beneath him. The beautiful scholar is doing dissertation research in his cop shop, and seriously messing with his head. His self-imposed sexual abstinence comes to a screeching halt in Caitlin's ratty hotel room and dies a permanent death in his bed…and his kitchen…and his living room. Caitlin is also intelligent and funny, kind and generous, her smile a burst of warmth in his cold, austere life. And that scares the crap out of him. With his head and heart fighting a battle of wills, Alex can barely concentrate on work. And that's too bad - because his dangerous job and his newfound love are about to clash in the worst way possible. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Piper Goodeve.

    Queen intim
    Wutausbrüche und Gitarrentausch: So war es wirklich auf Tour mit QueenÜber zehn Jahre lang bereiste Peter Hince mit Queen die ganze Welt und erlebte genau das, wovon viele Rockfans träumten: Sex, Drugs & Rock'n'Roll. Vor allem aber erlebte er eine der legendärsten Rockbands nicht nur auf, sondern auch hinter der Bühne, und kam hautnah an einen der größten Stars der Rockszene heran: Als Chef der Roadcrew war er dafür verantwortlich, dass Freddie Mercury die phänomenalen Performances liefern konnte, derentwegen man ihn heute noch in Erinnerung hat - und dazu gehörte nicht nur technischer, sondern oft auch einmal psychologischer Support. Und so war Hince in vielen historischen Augenblicken zugegen, beispielsweise als Freddie "Crazy Little Thing Of Love" komponierte - in der Badewanne in seiner Suite im Münchner Hilton Hotel.Unprätentiös, grundsympathisch und mit herrlich trockenem Humor erzählt Hince von seinen Erlebnissen an der Seite der großen Stars. Ende der Siebziger ist die Welt noch größer als heute in der Zeit der Billigflieger und der Internettelefonie - die USA sind für einen jungen Briten von gerade mal Anfang zwanzig wie ein anderer Stern, Japan sowieso. Ratty, wie ihn die Roadcrew und die Band nennen, geht mit offenen Augen durch die Welt, betrachtet das gelobte Land Amerika mit neugierigem und kritischem Blick und genießt es natürlich, dass die Mädchen dort auf Jungs mit diesem süßen britischen Akzent stehen. Es ist die Zeit, in der man im Flugzeug noch rauchen darf und niemand etwas von dieser Krankheit namens AIDS gehört hat, die für Freddie Mercury so tragische Konsequenzen haben sollte.Das alles macht Queen intim nicht nur zur Pflichtlektüre für Queen-Fans, sondern auch für alle, die mit der Musik der Siebziger und Achtziger aufgewachsen sind - ein Zeitdokument, das ebenso unterhaltsam wie erhellend ist. Und näher kann man an Queen, die Band, auch nicht herankommen: Wenn Freddie - oder vielmehr, "Fred", wie Hince ihn nennt - einen seiner legendären Temperamentausbrüche hatte, stand Ratty oft genug genau daneben und musste sich etwas einfallen lassen. Und wenn Brian May die Gitarre gefiel, die er sich gerade selbst gekauft hatte, dann trat er sie ihm eben ab. Alltag bei Queen: Peter Hince erzählt, wie es wirklich war.- mit exklusiven Farbfotos der Band- persönlicher Blick hinter die Kulissen- Queen zählen mit etwas 320 Mio. verkauften Tonträgern weltweit zu den erfolgreichsten Rockbands aller Zeiten

    Things (eBook, ePUB)
    "Things" is a book by Sinclair Lewis an American writer. In 1930, he became the first writer from the United States to receive the Nobel Prize in Literature. "Things" is a short story by Sinclair Lewis. "This is not the story of Theodora Duke and Stacy Lindstrom, but of a traveling bag with silver fittings, a collection of cloisonné, a pile of ratty school-books, and a fireless cooker that did not cook. Long before these things were acquired, when Theo was a girl and her father, Lyman Duke, was a so-so dealer in cut-over lands, there was a feeling of adventure in the family. They lived in a small brown house which predicated children and rabbits in the back yard, and a father invariably home for supper. But Mr. Duke was always catching trains to look at pine tracts in northern Minnesota. Often his wife went along and, in the wilds, way and beyond Grand Marais and the steely shore of Lake Superior, she heard wolves howl and was unafraid." Preview.
