The Congruent Apprentice: The Congruent Mage, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 631min
Young wizards coming of age in a time of war.... Will they be ready? Eynon was excited to leave his village and set off on his wander year. He’d turned 16 today, and hoped for at least a few adventures. At high noon, he arrived a crossroads and saw a shimmer of silver in the mud. It was a thin and dirty oval, about the size of his palm. He washed it with squirts of water from his goatskin, then marveled at what was revealed. It was a silver amulet, worked with complex, interlaced designs. An oval blue gem more than an inch across, with deep facets, was set in its center. The silver danced with reflected sunlight and the gem seemed to be filled with sparks. It was the most beautifully crafted thing he’d ever seen. Eynon noticed strange writing on the back of the amulet. As he raised it to eye level for closer inspection, one of his fingers inadvertently pressed a small stud on the edge. A tremendous blast of blue fire shot out from the gem on the opposite side, striking an ancient leafless oak and turning it into a flaming torch. Someone behind him whistled. Eynon dropped the amulet, afraid of what else it might do, and turned to see an old farmer, leaning on a shovel. “Well, young man,” said the farmer. “It looks like you’re going to need a wizard.” ungekürzt.

The State We're In: Maine Stories , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 354min
We build worlds for ourselves wherever we go, writes Ann Beattie. The State We're In, her magnificent new collection of linked stories, is about how we live in the places we have chosen - or been chosen by. It's about the stories we tell our families, our friends, and ourselves, the truths we may or may not see, how our affinities unite or repel us, and where we look for love. Many of these stories are set in Maine, but The State We're In is about more than geographical location and certainly is not a picture postcard of the coastal state. Some characters have arrived by accident; others are trying to get out. The collection opens, closes, and is interlaced with stories that focus on Jocelyn, a wryly disaffected teenager living with her aunt and uncle while attending summer school. As in life, the narratives of other characters interrupt Jocelyn's, sometimes challenging, sometimes embellishing her view. Riveting, witty, sly, idiosyncratic, and bold, these stories describe a state of mind, a manner of being - now. A Beattie story, says Margaret Atwood, is, "like a fresh bulletin from the front: we snatch it up, eager to know what's happening out there on the edge of that shifting and dubious no-man's-land known as interpersonal relations." The State We're In is a fearless exploration of contemporary life by a brilliant writer whose fiction startles as it illuminates. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Cassandra Campbell.

Shinto: The Way Home: Dimensions of Asian Spirituality , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 472min
Nine out of ten Japanese claim some affiliation with Shinto, but in the West the religion remains the least studied of the major Asian spiritual traditions. It is so interlaced with Japanese cultural values and practices that scholarly studies usually focus on only one of its dimensions: Shinto as a "nature religion", an "imperial state religion", a "primal religion", or a "folk amalgam of practices and beliefs". Thomas Kasulis' fresh approach to Shinto explains with clarity and economy how these different aspects interrelate. As a philosopher of religion, he first analyzes the experiential aspect of Shinto spirituality underlying its various ideas and practices. Second, as a historian of Japanese thought, he sketches several major developments in Shinto doctrines and institutions from prehistory to the present, showing how its interactions with Buddhism, Confucianism, and nationalism influenced its expression in different times and contexts. In Shinto's idiosyncratic history, Kasulis finds the explicit interplay between two forms of spirituality: the "existential" and the "essentialist". Although the dynamic between the two is particularly striking and accessible in the study of Shinto, he concludes that a similar dynamic may be found in the history of other religions as well. Two decades ago, Kasulis' Zen Action/Zen Person brought an innovative understanding to the ideas and practices of Zen Buddhism, an understanding influential in the ensuing decade of philosophical Zen studies. Shinto: The Way Home promises to do the same for future Shinto studies. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Dean Sluyter.

As the attacks become more and more vicious and escalate to torture and then to murder, Jake and Manny begin to suspect there is a connection between the killer's seemingly random victims. But what is the link between the Vampire and a case that Manny's been working for a kid whose high school prank-gone-wrong has earned him the moniker the Preppy Terrorist and an FBI electronic ankle bracelet? Jake's careful forensic examinations, Manny's courtroom tenaciousness, and an unusual clue suggesting that a high-ranking politician has risen from the grave take the pair from the bowels of the morgue to the world of international intrigue. At the heart of this story is a tragic tale of corruption interlaced with cover-ups, conspiracies, death squads, and dictators who committed crimes that to this day go unpunished.A fast-paced, boldly imagined work from an exuberant new team in suspense. ungekürzt.

Line Change , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 393min
Matt Brown was flying across the ice, just as his coach wanted. He gained speed as he chased the puck toward his defensive zone.

And something big did happen - this play was life-changing, in the most unexpected, catastrophic way possible.Just as the puck settled between Matt's skates, he was bumped from behind by an opposing player and crashed headfirst into the unforgiving boards. As he struggled to move his arms and legs, an ominously painful silence fell over the arena. In a a split second, star hockey player Matt Brown was suddenly paralyzed from the neck down.An inspiring true story of die-hard resilience in the face of adversity, Line Change is Matt's unbelievable, first-hand account of what it means to square off with life's setbacks.

And though he may still be paralyzed, he works on his strength every day - and will continue to do so until he gains full mobility once more.In this candid, inspiring memoir that is interlaced with influential voices from those closest to him during his recovery and beyond, Matt lays his journey bare.

Another Time, Another Life: The Story of a Crime (2) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 970min
In 1975 , six young people stormed the West German embassy in Stockholm, taking the entire staff hostage. They demanded the immediate release of members of the Baader- Meinhof group being held as prisoners in West Germany, but 12 hours into the siege, the embassy was blown up, two hostages were dead, and many others were injured, including the captors. Thus begins Leif GW Persson's Another Time, Another Life. The story, based on real events linked to the still-unsolved assassination of Swedish prime minister Olof Palme, picks up in 1989, as the seemingly unrelated stabbing death of a civil servant is investigated by officers Bo Jarnebring and Anna Holt. Under the supervision of their cantankerous, prejudiced, and corrupt superior, Evert Bäckström, the case gets surreptitiously swept under the rug, and the victim is tied to a string of sex-related crimes, despite evidence to the contrary. Another 10 years pass before the confounding truth about the murder victim is unearthed. Just as Lars Martin Johansson, a friend of Jarnebring's, begins his tenure as the head of the Swedish Security Police, he inherits two files from his predecessor, one of which is on the murder victim - who turns out to have been a collaborator in the 1975 embassy takeover. Revealed now are not only the identities of the other collaborators but also the identity of the murderer: an intelligent, capable lawyer a heartbeat away from the top position in Sweden's Ministry of Defense. With masterfully interlaced plotlines pulled from the darkest corners of political power and corruption, Another Time, Another Life bristles with wit, insight, and intensity. ungekürzt.

Soul Sex: A Sexual Adventure Through the Chakras with Erotic Escapades in Exotic Lands, Hörbuch, Digital, 312min, (USK 18)
This is a very erotic fantasy that bridges the gap between spiritual enlightenment and the carnal pleasures of the flesh. It follows our intrepid traveler, Pavitra, around the world in her search for fulfillment on all levels, physically, sexually, emotionally, and spiritually, until she discovers Soul Sex, the ultimate experience of them all. By listening to these fantasies and sexual escapades it is the intention of the author that your own fire be lit, your imagination run wild, and you get inspired to bring some of these ideas into your own relationships to activate and awaken your chakras and sexual desires. In essence, "Soul Sex" is that which connects the spiritual with the physical plus all the pieces in between. This book is formatted in line with the seven chakras (energy centers), combining the seven colors (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo/violet, and white), with the elements (earth, water, fire, air, sound, light, and ether/consciousness) and the sensations (physical, sensual, powerful, heart-full, verbal, insightful, and peaceful), with stories set in different countries (Australia, Africa, France, Jamaica, Germany, Ireland, England, Egypt, Nepal, India, and New Zealand) interlaced with experiences relating to each chakra (walkabouts, mud, waterfalls, food, dance, massage, heat, horse-rides, mountains, meditation, chants, and breathing) and music that resonates with each energy center (Dijaredoo, drumming, romantic, reggae, classical, techno, love songs, chants, Indian, New Age) and of course SEX on all levels. Listening to this book is a fun way to learn more about the chakras, about conscious sex through the chakras, about passionate adventures to exotic lands, about rhythms and cultures, music, rituals and dance. Love is magical and when we find that connection on all levels within ourselves then we can share that with others and enjoy Soul Sex, the ultimate experience of all. For Adults Only.
