With Open Arms: Short Stories of Misadventures in Morocco , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 159min
When Matthew had to renew his European visa, his point of exit was obvious: he was going to Morocco. Memories of his previous trip filled him with anxiety. What was he thinking? After everything that had happened, did he really want to go back? Scams. Altercations. Mishaps. But also humor and beauty. His curiosity overcoming his fears, his second trip would prove as unforgettable as the first. "My reflexes belatedly kicking in, I couldn't help but flinch. The children cheered, relishing having reduced me to their plaything." "Our little spectacle having brought the night market to a standstill, we were now surrounded by about 50 men. I was living the chaotic mob scene from so many movies, and it was every bit as nightmarish as it had always looked on-screen." "As I was about to let out a desperate cry that would require no translation, the giant finished...leaving me flinching on the floor like a bug that's been smashed but isn't quite dead." "Amidst astonishingly beautiful, unsullied waves of sand, a lone figure squatted, holding a roll of toilet paper. It was a peculiar, paradoxical sight." An Amazon.com best-selling collection of travel writing as entertaining for the armchair traveler as indispensable for anyone interested in adventure in North Africa. ungekürzt. Language: English.

The Statement of Andrew Doran , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 398min
Nazis, zombies, wizards, and beasts roam the path before Dr. Andrew Doran. Dr. Andrew Doran has been out of touch with the major civilizations for quite a while. When an emissary from his alma mater demands his assistance, Andrew is in such a state that he has no choice but to help. The Nazis have taken the Necronomicon from Miskatonic University's library. With it they could call upon every form of darkness and use the powers of the void to destroy all who stand in the way of obtaining unlimited power. For years Doran has been at odds with Miskatonic University. Putting his negative feelings aside, Andrew takes charge and heads straight into the Nazi-controlled territories of Europe. Along his journey from America and into the heart of Berlin, the dark Traum Kult - or Dream Cult - has sent beasts from the void between worlds to slow his progress. This is adventure and monsters unlike anything the anthropologist has ever experienced, and only with the assistance of the trigger-happy Leo and the beautiful Olivia, both members of the French Resistance, does Dr. Doran have any chance of success. A sane man would flinch. Dr. Andrew Doran charges in. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Shaun Toole. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/032558/bk_acx0_032558_sample.mp3.

Soul Survivor: How Thirteen Unlikely Mentors Helped My Faith Survive the Church, Hörbuch, Digital, 302min
Philip Yancey, whose explorations of faith have made him a guide for millions, feels no need to defend the church. "When someone tells me yet another horror story about the church, I respond, 'Oh, it's even worse than that. Let me tell you my story.' I have spent most of my life in recovery from the church." Yancey acknowledges that many spiritual seekers find few answers and little solace in the institutional church. "I have met many people, and heard from many more, who have gone through a similar process of mining truth from their religious past: Roman Catholics who flinch whenever they see a nun or priest, former Seventh Day Adventists who cannot drink a cup of coffee without a stab of guilt, Mennonites who worry whether wedding rings give evidence of worldliness." How did Yancey manage to survive spiritually despite early encounters with a racist, legalistic church that he now views as almost cultic? In this, his most soul-searching book yet, he probes that very question. He tells the story of his own struggle to reclaim belief, interwoven with inspiring portraits of notable people from all walks of life, whom he calls his spiritual directors. Soul Survivor is his tribute to 13 remarkable individuals, mentors who transformed his life and work. Language: English. Narrator: Philip Yancey.

Domestic Discipline for Daniel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 200min, (USK 18)
When handsome new shop assistant Daniel is rude and obnoxious to a valued customer, he discovers the painful way to learn to be polite - through the indignity of hard, regular spankings and canings applied to his upturned bare bottom. The irate customer, attractive, sexy Olivia Hamilton, is expert at severe and humiliating corporal punishment for misbehaving adults. It’s so embarrassing and it hurts so much - but soon Daniel’s fear and dread of the cane turn to acceptance and finally a real craving for more and more imaginative discipline, which his new Mistress is only too keen to give. Sometimes Daniel’s punishments are administered in front of enthusiastic witnesses, and to add even more to his distress and embarrassment, Olivia’s niece Laura also discovers he is under her aunt’s extremely strict regime. Listen to vivid descriptions of Daniel’s increasing torments as his bare, exposed buttocks writhe and flinch under the excruciating sting of the cruel cane brought down hard on the most sensitive parts of his bottom, over and over again. He is reduced to begging and pleading for it to stop, but Olivia well knows that regular good, old-fashioned, traditional canings, combined with prolonged bare-bottom spankings, always brings about a change in behavior. This complete corporal punishment novel is for adults only (over 18) and contains strong graphic descriptions of humiliating adult discipline together with strong sexual scenes. ungekürzt.

Boys , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 438min
Boys who love boys, who love girls. Twenty-five-year-old Jag Huntington loves straight men. He can't help it. Something about their macho allure intrigues him. But Jag has never even managed to have a straight man as a friend. His best friend, Tyson Hopper, and Tyson's boyfriend, Howard Steinman, invite Jag out for a night with the gay boys and Howard's sister, Virginia. When Virginia brings her straight boyfriend, Carson Phelps, Jag's attraction to the 30-year-old stud is instant. But there is not mutual attraction, not even curiosity. It isn't until Virginia insinuates that Jag and Carson should be friends, close friends, that Jag begans to wonder if he has a chance. Carson likes hanging with gay men. They are fun. His straight buddies don't get into dancing, music, or anything he really wants to do. The idea of having a great gay friend appeals to Carson. Self-assured, Carson doesn't flinch at the racy conversation or the sexual overtones of his gay companions' conversation. He likes it. There is something that intrigues both men into crossing the line of friendship into a physical relationship, but for Jag it is devoid of any of the emotional attachment that he craves from Carson. Will Jag and Carson's friendship ever evolve into anything more than a couple of friends, one gay and one straight? Is there really something extra special about a boy who loves boys, who loves girls? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Russil Tamsen.

Telling Stories , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 483min
The unabridged digital audiobook edition of Telling Stories, Tim Burgess’s lacerating, frank, and vivid memoir. Read by the actor Craig Parkinson, star of the hit film Control. The Charlatans have had three UK Number One albums and 17 Top Thirty singles. But they’ve also had to face the imprisonment and death of keyboard player Rob Collins and an accountant who ran off with all their money. Not to mention the rock & roll excesses of singer Tim Burgess. In his startlingly revealing memoir, not ghosted but written by Burgess himself, he describes how they dealt with their crises, and what’s gone right with the band as much as what’s gone wrong. Brought up in a Cheshire village, he went on to front a band that has travelled the world and was at the forefront of the Madchester and Britpop movements. Telling Stories is a tale of achievement and survival, via a fair bit of heartache, but told with humour. At the centre of it is Tim Burgess’s own story: how someone with a passion for music got to fulfil his dreams. He doesn’t flinch from the dark stuff - the lure of the rock & roll lifestyle, its sweet enticements - and he confesses in vivid detail how he had to pull himself back from the brink. But along the way he had a lot of good times and met some great people while making great music. It’s all here in Telling Stories. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Craig Parkinson.

The Bengalis: A Portrait of a Community , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1088min
The Bengalis are the third largest ethno-linguistic group in the world, after the Han Chinese and the Arabs. A quarter of a billion strong and growing, the community has produced three Nobel laureates, world-class scientists, legendary political leaders and revolutionaries, iconic movie stars and directors and an unending stream of writers, philosophers, painters, poets and musicians of the first rank. But, bald facts aside, just who are the Bengalis? What is the community all about, stereotypically and beyond stereotype? In order to find the answers to these and related questions, the author (a Bengali born and steeped in his own culture but objective enough to give us a balanced reckoning of his fellows) delves deep into the culture, literature, history and social mores of the Bengalis. He writes with acuity about the many strengths of the community but does not flinch from showing us its weaknesses and tormented history. He points out that Bengalis are among the most civilized and intellectually refined people on earth but have also been responsible for genocide and racism of the worst kind. Their cuisine is justly celebrated, but few remember the cause and effect of millions of Bengalis dying of famine. Renowned for their liberal attitudes, they are also capable of virulent religious fundamentalism. Argumentative and meditative, pompous and grounded, hypocritical and wise, flippant and deep - Bengalis are all this and much, much more. With erudition, wit and empathy, this book manages to capture their very essence. Unarguably, it is the definitive portrait of one of the world’s most vibrant and distinctive communities. ungekürzt.
