Oblivion: Stories , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 856min
In the stories that make up Oblivion, David Foster Wallace joins the rawest, most naked humanity with the infinite involutions of self-consciousness - a combination that is dazzlingly, uniquely his. These are worlds undreamt-of by any other mind. Only David Foster Wallace could convey a father's desperate loneliness by way of his son's daydreaming through a teacher's homicidal breakdown ("The Soul Is Not a Smithy"). Or could explore the deepest and most hilarious aspects of creativity by delineating the office politics surrounding a magazine profile of an artist who produces miniature sculptures in an anatomically inconceivable way ("The Suffering Channel"). Or capture the ache of love's breakdown in the painfully polite apologies of a man who believes his wife is hallucinating the sound of his snoring ("Oblivion"). Each of these stories is a complete world, as fully imagined as most entire novels, at once preposterously surreal and painfully immediate. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Robert Petkoff.

Tidal Wave: From Leyte Gulf to Tokyo Bay , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 782min
The United States Navy won such overwhelming victories in 1944 that had the Navy faced a different enemy the war would have been over at the conclusion of the Battle of Leyte Gulf. However, in the moment of victory on October 25, 1944, the US Navy found itself confronting an enemy that had been inconceivable until it appeared. The kamikaze, meaning 'divine wind' in Japanese, was something Americans were totally unprepared for; a violation of every belief held in the West. The attacks were terrifying: regardless of the damage inflicted on an attacking airplane, there was no certainty of safety aboard the ship until that airplane was completely destroyed. Based on first-person accounts, Tidal Wave is the story of the naval campaigns in the Pacific from the victory at Leyte Gulf to the end of the war, in which the US Navy would fight harder for survival than ever before. ungekürzt.

Islands of Space , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 436min
As Earth's faster-than-light spaceship hung in the void between galaxies, Arcot, Wade, Morey, and Fuller could see below them, like a vast shining horizon, the mass of stars that formed their own island universe. Morey worked a moment with his slide rule, then said, "We made good time! Twenty-nine light years in ten seconds! Yet you had it on at only half power...." Arcot pushed the control lever all the way to full power. The ship filled with the strain of flowing energy, and sparks snapped in the air of the control room as they raced at an inconceivable speed through the darkness of intergalactic space. But suddenly, far off to their left and far to their right, they saw two shining ships paralleling their course! They held grimly to the course of the Earth ship, bracketing it like an official guard. The Earth scientists stared at them in wonder. "Lord," muttered Morey, "where can they have come from?" ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Oliver Wyman. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/adbl/001932/bk_adbl_001932_sample.mp3.

Seal of the Sand Dweller: The Servant Ruler, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 739min
Famine threatens the kingdom while neither priest nor sage can decipher the king's Horus dream. The slave drawn from the garrison is a sand dweller, a vile Asiatic from beyond the Northern borders of Egypt. His interpretation seems, at first, a desperate snatch at freedom, but when his words prove true, he is raised to inconceivable heights. The courtiers of the king's house are fascinated with the god-kissed Asiatic. But when Yoseph's astute sense of order reveals extortion, the king must check the integrity of his administrators or remain a pawn of his own government. Yoseph has paid the price for integrity. The first of heavy fines were exacted by jealous brothers, the next by his master's lascivious wife. As vizier, he confronts corruption with the authority of a king's seal. And this time, integrity might cost him everything. Enter the columned halls of the king's house for the retelling of the biblical story of Joseph as you've never heard it before. ungekürzt.
