    The Devil's Pool , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 242min
     The Devil's Pool is George Sand's most popular novella. Set in rural France, the narrative explores relations between the sexes, the power of fantasy in human life and the plight of the underprivileged. Two of the main characters are Father Maurice and his son-in-law Germain, who is considering marriage again after the death of his wife. His father-in-law organises a meeting with the rich widow, Catherine Leonard, but he finds her vain and haughty and much in demand. He seeks out the company of Marie, a shepherdess from his own village, who would prefer a younger husband. Considered a classic of French rural literature, The Devil's Pool challenges the simplistic and stereotypical perceptions of countryside folks, giving a more interesting portrayal of people living in rural environments. ungekürzt.

    No Apparent Distress: A Doctor’s Coming-of-Age on the Front Lines of American Medicine , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 539min
    In medical charts, the term "N.A.D." (No Apparent Distress) is used for patients who appear stable. The phrase also aptly describes America's medical system when it comes to treating the underprivileged. Medical students learn on the bodies of the poor - and the poor suffer from their mistakes. Rachel Pearson confronted these harsh realities when she started medical school in Galveston, Texas. Pearson, herself from a working-class background, remains haunted by the suicide of a close friend, experiences firsthand the heartbreak of her own errors in a patient's care, and witnesses the ruinous effects of a hurricane on a Texas town's medical system. In No Apparent Distress, she chronicles her experiences and the raging disparities in a system that favors the rich and the white. This is at once an indictment of American health care and a deeply moving tale of one doctor's coming-of-age. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Rebecca Gibel.

    Moon Rock: Mare Crisium , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 424min
    Picking up where the national best-seller Sex on the Moon left off, NASA astrophysicist Thad Roberts takes us behind the scenes of America’s justice system after being arrested for stealing moon rocks to impress his girlfriend. This fascinating, heart-wrenching, and sometimes humorous account of corruption and dehumanization, offers a rich portrayal of the process of ruin that senselessly awaits America’s underprivileged. It is a raw and uncensored account that needs to be told, not because it is unique, but because it is far too common. It is an intimate portrayal of humanity’s declining identity - which must be understood to be reversed. Thad’s Mare Crisium account, referencing a prominent feature on the moon whose name translates as Sea of Crises, contains a subtle yet powerful insight for how to deal with tragedy, highlighting the role that defiance and passion play in overcoming despair and reclaiming a life of adventure and human connection. ungekürzt.

    There's Something About You , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 558min
    This is not your typical boy-meets-girl story. Okay, they do meet, but there are some complications. Trish is 28. She's unemployed, overweight, single and snarky. She knows all that. And if one more person - just one more person - tries to fix her, she might explode. Sahil is 35. He has superpowers. Well, kind of. He seems to think so, anyway. He's also hot (in a geeky kind of way, but still). And he plays the guitar, helps the underprivileged and talks about his feelings. Aren't guys like that supposed to exist only in fantasies? When Trish and Sahil meet, magic happens. Real magic, you know, like fireworks, electricity, that sort of thing. But here's the problem. Trish doesn't want anyone in her life. She has enough to deal with - dependent parents, flaky neighbours, bitchy editors, the works. And yet, Sahil is determined to be in her life. From the best-selling author of Just Married, Please Excuse and Sorting Out Sid, here is another zinger of a book. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Rinki Singhvi.

    When 17-year-old Grey witnesses the tragic death of his mother in Colorado, he is shipped off to live with his aunt in inner-city Baltimore. Grey struggles to fit in to his new school and environment until his new friend, Akil, introduces him to the enigmatic Kurtis, the leader of a group that uses high-octane sports as a form of social activism. By challenging the police with death-defying stunts and then posting videos of them online, Kurtis, Grey, and their group become unlikely heroes in the fight against the prejudice that surrounds them.   As Kurtis takes Grey under his wing, they come up with a name and an insignia and attract more and more followers to their extreme acts. The lines between social activism and criminal behavior blur, and their escalating stunts become a rallying point for the underprivileged and disenfranchised around the country, spreading like wildfire across the internet. How far will Grey and Kurtis go to push their message, and can their fragile alliance withstand their growing power? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Tru Osborne.

    From acclaimed author Richard North Patterson comes a sweeping family drama of dark secrets and individual awakenings, set against the backdrop of the tumultuous summer of 1968. America is in a state of turbulence, engulfed in civil unrest and uncertainty. Yet for Whitney Dane - spending the summer of her twenty-second year on Martha's Vineyard - life could not be safer, nor the future more certain. Educated at Wheaton, soon to be married, and the youngest daughter of the all-American Dane family, Whitney has everything she has ever wanted and is everything her all-powerful and doting father, Charles Dane, wants her to be. But the Vineyard's still waters are disturbed by the appearance of Benjamin Blaine. An underprivileged yet fiercely ambitious and charismatic figure, he is a force of nature neither Whitney nor her family could have prepared for. As Ben's presence begins to awaken independence within Whitney, it also brings deep-rooted family tensions to a dangerous head.

    D.L. Moody: A Life: Innovator, Evangelist, World Changer , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 520min
    He burst upon the fusty corridors of Victorian spirituality like a breath of fresh air, regaling one prime minister with his sense of humor and touching the lives of seven presidents. Who was this man? A visionary educator and fundraiser, D.L. Moody was also a renowned evangelist in the 19th century. Long before radio and television, he brought the transformative message of the gospel before 100 million people on both sides of the Atlantic. Thousands of underprivileged young people were educated in schools he established, and before the Civil War, he went to a place no one else would: the slums of Chicago called Little Hell. The mission he started in an abandoned saloon drew children by the hundreds, and prompted a visit from president-elect Abraham Lincoln in 1860. Drawing on the best, most recent scholarship, D.L. Moody: Life chronicles the incredible journey of one of the great souls of history.
