    The Barefoot Road , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 498min
    A young woman is found, emaciated and unconscious, in the mountains surrounding a village in Transylvania. When the villagers discover she is of the same ethnic group that was driven out of the region years before, they are reminded of their part in the bloodshed, and old wounds reopen. While the story unfolds in the microcosm of small village in the past, its themes are universal and timeless: the fear of the outsider, the supernatural versus the natural, and the force of desire between a man and a woman."This novel stays with the reader, resounding in the daily news where the fear of what is not understood soon transforms into dogmatism and intolerance." (Dr. Dawn-Michelle Baude, Huffington Post)"This book is poetic and timeless and shows exactly why VIvienne Vermes is an award-winning novelist and poet. It will become a classic of European literature." (Martin S., What's Books)"I would not just recommend this book. I would shout it from the rooftops." (Stephanie Geary, Writing from the Heart) ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Vivienne Vermes. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/205933/bk_acx0_205933_sample.mp3.

    Beyond Uncertainty: Heisenberg, Quantum Physics, and the Bomb , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1334min
    In 1992, David C. Cassidy’s groundbreaking biography of Werner Heisenberg, Uncertainty, was published to resounding acclaim from scholars and critics. Michael Frayn, in the playbill of the Broadway production of Copenhagen, referred to it as one of his main sources and "the standard work in English". Richard Rhodes (The Making of the Atom Bomb) called it "the definitive biography of a great and tragic physicist", and the Los Angeles Times praised it as an "important book. Cassidy has sifted the record and brilliantly detailed Heisenberg’s actions." No book that has appeared since has rivaled Uncertainty, now out of print, for its depth and rich detail of the life, times, and science of this brilliant and controversial figure of 20th-century physics. Since the fall of the Soviet Union, long-suppressed information has emerged on Heisenberg’s role in the Nazi atomic bomb project. In Beyond Uncertainty, Cassidy interprets this and other previously unknown material within the context of his vast research and tackles the vexing questions of a scientist’s personal responsibility and guilt when serving an abhorrent military regime. ungekürzt.

    New England White: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1340min
    With his powers of observation, and the same richness of plot and character, the author of The Emperor of Ocean Park returns to the New England university town of Elm Harbor, where a murder begins to crack the veneer that has hidden the racial complications of the town's past, the secrets of a prominent family, and the most hidden bastions of African-American political influence. At the center is Lemaster Carlyle, the university president, and his wife, Julia Carlyle, a deputy dean at the divinity school - African Americans living in "the heart of whiteness".Lemaster is an old friend of the president of the United States. Julia was the murdered man's lover years ago. The meeting point of these connections forms the core of a mystery that deepens even as Julia closes in on the politically earth-shattering motive behind the murder.Relentlessly suspenseful, galvanizing in its exploration of the profound difference between allegiance to ideas and to people, New England White is a resounding confirmation of Stephen Carter's gifts as a writer. ungekürzt.

    Forever Alaska , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 195min
    Sage Brennan and Alaska "Lass" Jones were best friends who loved and lived together. She went on to "bigger and better" things in New York City, and Sage stayed in Coopertown, Alaska, as their sheriff. For three years, the two of them caught up weekly on the phone, texted back and forth, and he would always ask if she was coming back, and her answer was always a resounding, "No!" That all came to a screeching halt early one morning. Lass was now the prime suspect in the murder of her mother that happened before she moved to New York City three years before. She was ordered to come back to Coopertown, which she did, but there was only one problem. Her mother had died 10 years before, in New York City, or had she? What was going on? Could Sage try and figure it out before time ran out? There was also a bigger problem. It seemed like time was no longer on a fixed course, but played with them at its whimsy. ungekürzt.

    In the second in New York Times best-selling author Karen Ranney's scintillating series, society's most coveted duke finds the one thing wealth and position cannot buy - the perfect partner.

Could the elusive gentleman possibly live up to his brilliant letters? When Martha travels to his estate to carry out her father's last bequest, she discovers that the answer is a resounding yes, for the duke's scientific mind belies a deep sensuality. Jordan was determined to complete his prototype alone, but it's impossible to resist the alluring young woman who shows up at his door. Working together, they grow ever closer until a case of mistaken identity leaves him bound to another.

    Heartburn , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 330min
    Audie Award Finalist, Solo Narration - Female, 2014 Is it possible to write a sidesplitting novel about the breakup of the perfect marriage? If the writer is Nora Ephron, the answer is a resounding yes. For in this inspired confection of adultery, revenge, group therapy, and pot roast, the creator of Sleepless in Seattle reminds us that comedy depends on anguish as surely as a proper gravy depends on flour and butter. Seven months into her pregnancy, Rachel Samstat discovers that her husband, Mark, is in love with another woman. The fact that the other woman has "a neck as long as an arm and a nose as long as a thumb and you should see her legs" is no consolation. Food sometimes is, though, since Rachel writes cookbooks for a living. And in between trying to win Mark back and loudly wishing him dead, Ephron's irrepressible heroine offers some of her favorite recipes. Heartburn is a sinfully delicious novel, as soul-satisfying as mashed potatoes and as airy as a perfect soufflé. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Meryl Streep.

    The Second Plane: September 11, Terror, and Boredom , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 419min
    A master not only of fiction but also of fiercely controversial political engagement, Martin Amis here gathers 14 pieces that constitute an evolving, provocative, and insightful examination of the most momentous event of our time. At the heart of this collection is the long essay "Terror and Boredom", an unsparing analysis of Islamic fundamentalism and the West's flummoxed response to it; other pieces address the invasion of Iraq, the realities of Iran, and Tony Blair's lingering departure from Downing Street (and also his trips to Washington and Iraq). Whether lambasted for his refusal to kowtow to Muslim pieties or hailed for his common sense, wide reading, and astute perspective, Amis is indisputably a great pleasure to hear - informed, elegant, surprising - and this collection a resounding contemplation of the relentless, manifold dangers we suddenly find ourselves living with. As an added bonus, when you purchase our Audible Modern Vanguard production of Martin Amis' book, you'll also get an exclusive Jim Atlas interview that begins when the audiobook ends. ungekürzt.

    The Martians Strike Back!: War of Two Worlds, Book 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 365min
    During the first two volumes of this series, Invasion! and Operation Crimson Storm, Reginald adroitly captured the movement, the power, and timelessness of H. G. Wells's original narrative, updated it, and finally brought the War back to the Martians. Now, in The Martians Strike Back!, he brings the conflict between peoples, between species, between planets to a resounding conclusion that is at once acceptably concrete and believably fragile. Peace between two worlds cannot come easily, especially since the conflicts between them have persisted for literally millions of years; and the newcomer to the game, humanity, may not be prepared to meet the challenges required to accomplish it. Alex Smith, indefatigable seeker after truth and meticulous observer of events, suddenly finds himself and his family-and his Martian counterpart, Big Guy - at the center of attempts to mollify factions on both worlds that seem intent on mutual destruction. When the specter of a third, more threatening alien race is added to the mix, Smith must make decisions and accept the consequences of actions that threaten his family, his sanity, his very life. ungekürzt.

    Literature, Analytically Speaking: Explorations in the Theory of Interpretation, Analytic Aesthetics, and Evolution , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 405min
    In a new approach to interdisciplinary literary theory, Literature, Analytically Speaking integrates literary studies with analytic aesthetics, girded by neo-Darwinian evolution. Scrutinizing narrative fiction through a lens provided by analytic philosophy, revered literary theorist Peter Swirski puts new life into literary theory while fashioning a set of practical guidelines for critics in the interpretive trenches. Dismissing critical inquirers who deny intention its key role in the study of literary reception, Swirski extends the defense of intentionality to art and to human behavior in general. In the process, Swirski takes stock of the recent work in evolutionary theory, arguing that the analysis of narrative truth may be grounded in the neo-Darwinian paradigm which forms the empirical backbone behind his analytic approach. Literature, Analytically Speaking provides a series of precepts designed to capture the ways in which we do interpret (and ought to interpret) works of literature. Reflecting a resounding shift from the poststructuralist paradigm, Swirski's lively and colorful presentation, backed up by a dazzling variety of examples and case studies, reconceptualizes the aesthetics of literature and literary studies. ungekürzt.
