  Lady Chatterley's Lover , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 729min

  The last and most famous of D. H. Lawrence's novels, Lady Chatterley's Lover was published in 1928 and banned in England and the United States as pornographic. While sexually tame by today's standards, the book is memorable for better reasons---Lawrence's masterful and lyrical prose, and a vibrant story that takes us bodily into the world of its characters. As the novel opens, Constance Chatterley finds herself trapped in an unfulfilling marriage to a rich aristocrat whose war wounds have left him paralyzed and impotent. After a brief but unsatisfying affair with a playwright, Lady Chatterley enjoys an extremely passionate relationship with the gamekeeper on the family estate, Oliver Mellors. As Lady Chatterley falls in love and conceives a child with Mellors, she moves from the heartless, bloodless world of the intelligentsia and aristocracy into a vital and profound connection rooted in sexual fulfillment. Through this novel, Lawrence attempted to revive in the human consciousness an awareness of savage sensuality, a sensuality with the power to free men and women from the enslaving sterility of modern technology and intellectualism. Perhaps even more relevant today than when it first appeared, Lady Chatterley's Lover is a triumph of passion and an erotic celebration of life. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: John Lee.

  Divorce Can Be Deadly: Dr. Benjamin Bones Mysteries, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 659min

  Two ghosts troubled Dr. Benjamin Bones. One he feared would never release him. Another he worried might slip away, however much he tightened his grip.... So begins Divorce Can Be Deadly, the long-awaited second book in Emma Jameson's wartime cozy mystery series. Return to Birdswing, a tiny Cornish village, in the bitter winter of 1939 and revisit old friends as they embark on more amateur sleuthing. Irrepressible Lady Juliet is taking a correspondence course in private detection and is vexed by the return of her soon-to-be ex-husband. Meanwhile, not only has Ben failed to realize the depth of her feelings for him, but his obsession with Lucy, the Fenton House ghost, grows stronger. When a bloodless, half-naked corpse is discovered in a great house in a nearby village, Ben and Juliet must again follow the clues to solve the case. Join them as they pry into the secret lives of villagers in seemingly picture-perfect Barking, including a vicar who hides from his secretary, a baron haunted by the Great War, and a butler who just might have done it. Brimming with romance, historical details, and warm humor, Divorce Can Be Deadly will prove itself worth the wait! ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Matthew Lloyd Davies.

  Bloodless - Grab des Verderbens / Pendergast Bd.20 (2 MP3-CDs)

  Rendezvous mit einem Vampir?In den Straßen von Savannah im Süden der USA tauchen Leichen auf, die vollkommen blutleer sind. Kein Wunder, dass eine alte Legende der Stadt plötzlich nicht nur wohligen Grusel verursacht: Geht etwa tatsächlich der »Vampir von Savannah« um? Special Agent Pendergast und sein Partner Agent Coldmoon werden mit dem bizarren Fall betraut und erkennen bald, dass es einen Zusammenhang mit einer nie aufgeklärten Flugzeug-Entführung aus dem Jahr 1971 gibt. Doch weder Pendergast noch Coldmoon ahnen, dass hinter beiden Fällen etwas steckt, das unfassbar viel böser ist als ein Vampir. Und längst ist nicht mehr sicher, ob die FBI-Agenten Jäger oder Gejagte sind.Sprecher Detlef Bierstedt ist selbstverständlich mit von der Partie, wenn Aloysius Pendergast auf Vampirjagd geht.

  Lumen: The Guise of Darkness , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 361min

  Let the wicked flee the approaching darkness. Those who continue to practice injustice will receive no mercy. The words of Lumen resonate through the billowing mists of darkness that enshroud those who perpetrate evil. All who mock justice and destroy the lost will eventually face a reckoning. For some, the reckoning will be prison. For others, the warnings of the mysterious presence in the dark will go unheeded. Their judgment will be in eternity. Detective Thornbush of the Caliginos City Police Department tracks down a serial killer with a startling trademark. His victims are bloodless, with two marks on their necks, similar in shape, size, and distance to two canine teeth from a human mouth. He is aided by a school counselor, a local pastor, and a mysterious doppelganger. The pastor is anxious to restore a runaway daughter to her mother before she becomes the next victim. The school counselor is surprisingly detached considering he had close associations with most of the victims. Who is the doppelganger and how will he use his powers to cloak himself in an inky blackness, a darkness that can be felt? Justice, mercy, and redemption will be explored in this superhero-suspense story about adults and teens living according to their own mores in a world of darkness. ungekürzt. Language: English.

  Armies of Russia's War in Ukraine (eBook, PDF)

  Explaining and illustrating the immediate background to the current Russian invasion of Ukraine, this book investigates the Ukrainian and Russian regular and irregular forces which have been fighting in the Donbas region since 2014.In February 2014, street protests in Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities led to the ousting of the Russian-backed President Yanukovych. Simultaneously, Russia carried out an almost-bloodless seizure of Ukraine's Crimean peninsula. Ukraine's 'Euromaidan Revolution' would see many changes to the country's constitution, and a turn towards the West for civic assistance and military training. Meanwhile, a violent reaction in the mainly Russian-speaking south-eastern industrial Donbas region led to a local armed counter-revolution, backed by Russia from April 2014.This conflict became an essential example of Russia's policy of so-called 'hybrid warfare', which pursues its strategic aims by a blend of propaganda and misinformation with the clandestine deployment of Special Forces and regular troops, alongside 'deniable' proxies and mercenaries. Meanwhile, Ukraine's efforts to reform its government culminated in the landslide election of President Zelensky in April 2019.Using his extensive contacts in both Russia and Ukraine, Prof Mark Galeotti presents a thorough and intriguing primer on all the forces involved in the conflict up to 2018. Supported by orders-of-battle, colour photos and specially commissioned artwork, his book also analyses the background and the stuttering progress of the war, and addresses the Russian military capabilities which are today being tested in all-out battle.

  Washington's Revolutionary War Generals: Campaigns and Commanders Series, Volume 68 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1018min

  When the Revolutionary War began, Congress established a national army and appointed George Washington its commander in chief. Congress then took it upon itself to choose numerous subordinate generals to lead the army’s various departments, divisions, and brigades.How this worked out in the end is well known. Less familiar, however, is how well Congress’s choices worked out along the way. Although historians have examined many of Washington’s subordinates, Washington’s Revolutionary War Generals is the first book to look at these men in a collective, integrated manner.A thoroughgoing study of the Revolutionary War careers of the Continental Army’s generals - their experience, performance, and relationships with Washington and the Continental Congress - this book provides an overview of the politics of command, both within and outside the army, and a unique perspective on how it affected Washington’s prosecution of the war. Stephen R. Taaffe weaves a narrative in the grand tradition of military history.Against this backdrop, his depiction of the complexities and particulars of character and politics of military command provides a new understanding of George Washington, the War for Independence, and the US military’s earliest beginnings.The book is published by University of Oklahoma Press. The audiobook is published by University Press Audiobooks.“As comprehensive as it is unsparing...a welcome contribution to our understanding of the Continental military.” (Mark Edward Lender, coauthor of Fatal Sunday)“This book is an important contribution to the field.” (Joseph F. Stoltz III, author of A Bloodless Victory: The Battle of New Orleans in History and Memory) ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: John Burlinson.

  The Mandibles: A Family, 2029-2047 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 825min

  The brilliant new novel from the Orange Prize-winning author of We Need to Talk About Kevin centres on three generations of the Mandible family as a fiscal crisis hits a near-future America. It is 2029. The Mandibles have been counting on a sizable fortune filtering down when their 97-year-old patriarch dies. Yet America's soaring national debt has grown so enormous that it can never be repaid. Under siege from an upstart international currency, the dollar is in meltdown. A bloodless world war will wipe out the savings of millions of American families. Their inheritance turned to ash, each family member must contend with disappointment but also - as the effects of the downturn start to hit - the challenge of sheer survival. Recently affluent Avery is petulant that she can't buy olive oil while her sister, Florence, is forced to absorb strays into her increasingly cramped household. As their father, Carter, fumes at having to care for his demented stepmother now that a nursing home is too expensive, his sister, Nollie, an expat author, returns from abroad at 73 to a country that's unrecognisable. Perhaps only Florence's oddball teenage son, Willing, an economics autodidact, can save this formerly august American family from the streets. This is not science fiction. This is a frightening, fascinating, scabrously funny glimpse into the decline that may await the United States all too soon, from the pen of perhaps the most consistently perceptive and topical author of our times. ungekürzt.
