    How the Other Half Lives , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 550min
    How the Other Half Lives was a pioneering work of photojournalism by Jacob Riis, documenting the squalid living conditions in New York City slums in the 1880s. It served as a basis for future muckraking journalism by exposing the slums to New York City's upper and middle class. How The Other Half Lives quickly became a landmark in the annals of social reform. Riis documented the filth, disease, exploitation, and overcrowding that characterized the experience of more than one million immigrants. He helped push tenement reform to the front of New York's political agenda, and prompted then-Police Commissioner Theodore Roosevelt to close down the police-run poor houses. Roosevelt later called Riis "the most useful citizen of New York". Riis's idea inspired Jack London to write a similar expos on London's East End, called People of the Abyss. ungekürzt.

    The Neighbors , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 451min
    Welcome to Magnolia Lane. It’s not exactly a little slice of heaven, but in the backwater town of Creekside, Kansas, it’s the best a jobless supermarket clerk like Andrew Morrison can do. After sacrificing a normal childhood, a decent education, and true love to look after his alcoholic mother, he’s finally breaking free and living his own life — but in the squalid house he’s sharing with a former childhood friend, the living isn’t exactly easy. Plus, there’s something about the chipper, all-American couple next door that’s just downright creepy. However, that doesn’t keep Drew from accepting a job as their handyman — or surrendering to the wiles of perfect housewife Harlow Ward, a woman who always gets what she wants. Drew, like a string of hapless young men before him, doesn’t realize he’s dancing with a devil — one dressed to the nines in high heels and pearls. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    The Chains of Fate (eBook, ePUB)
    The continent of Avonia is vast and wild, its dark history steeped in conquest and genocide. The Allied Avonian Kingdom has established a tenuous peace across the region through open commerce and free trade, but the militaristic Reignland threatens to supplant the Kingdom's feudalistic republicanism with its own brand of tyrannical authority. All the while the Thousand Kings of the Southern Reaches lie in hungry wait, anxious to devour the victor's scraps. While the great powers of Avonia busy themselves squabbling over riches, an ancient evil rises in the east. DarHel, a boy of the reclusive Kharar, is born cursed, bringing ruin to his people. Reviled and cast out, DarHel must embark upon a surreal spiritual journey to purify his soul, lest he succumb to the sentient Darkness stirring within him. A bloody antihero's journey through a squalid dystopia; a psychedelic exploration of pantheistic cosmology; a cautionary fable of self-fulfilling prophecy and the horrors of abuse: The Chains of Fate wears many cloaks, but beneath them all is a tale of the extraordinary faculty of love, and hate, to shape the world around us.
