    In his heyday, during the 1960s and early 1970s, B. S. Johnson was one of the best-known novelists in Britain. A passionate advocate for the avant-garde, he became famous for his forthright views on the future of the novel and for his unique ways of putting them into practice. Convinced that 'telling stories is telling lies' and that he should write about 'nothing else but what happens to me', Johnson produced Trawl. The novel describes, in the first person, a three-week voyage aboard a deep-sea fishing trawler in the Barents Sea, not unlike the one Johnson undertook in preparation to write the book. Isolating himself from the world he knows, as well as from the ship's crew, the narrator reflects on past events and relationships, hoping for some kind of redemption. This convincingly authentic and harrowing attempt to get to the heart of the human condition is one of Johnson's finest works. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Piers Hampton.

    Suzanne Simonin wird als uneheliches Kind von ihrer streng gläubigen Mutter in ein Kloster abgeschoben, wo sie den Schikanen einer sadistischen Oberin ausgesetzt ist und den klösterlichen Alltag als brutales Gefängnis erlebt. Der französische Autor und Aufklärer Denis Diderot schildert den Leidensweg der "Nonne wider Willen" mit beklemmender Eindringlichkeit. Wir begleiten Suzanne bei ihrem Kampf gegen Heuchelei und Doppelmoral und erfahren von ihren Bemühungen, dem Kloster zu entkommen. Der Roman "Die Nonne" basiert auf einer wahren Begebenheit und produzierte im Jahre 1760 wegen seiner vermeintlichen Obszönität und Kirchenfeindlichkeit einen handfesten Skandal. Diderots Roman wurde gleich nach seinem Erscheinen verboten, lange Zeit nur heimlich verbreitet und erst sehr viel später "offiziell" neu aufgelegt. Diderot wuchs auf in der Bischofstadt Langres als ältester Sohn eines wohlhabenden, jansenistisch-frommen Messerschmiedemeisters. Da er später die Kanonikus-Pfünde eines Onkels übernehmen sollte, wurde er schon als Dreizehnjähriger tonsuriert. Zur Schule ging er zuerst bei den Jesuiten in Langres, dann im jansenistischen Collège d'Harcourt in Paris. Nach Abschluss seiner propädeutischen Studien mit dem Magister Atrium brach er seine Ausbildung 1732 ohne das geplante anschließende Theologiestudium ab. Sein jüngerer Bruder musste dieses später an seiner Stelle absolvieren. In den folgenden Jahren führte Diderot in Paris ein mehr oder weniger ungebundenes Leben und befreundete sich mit anderen jungen Intellektuellen (d'Alembert, Rousseau, Condillac, Melchior Grimm). Er begann zu schreiben und übersetzte englische Schriften ins Französische. deutsch. Marlies Wenzel. https://samples.audible.de/bk/lind/002716/bk_lind_002716_sample.mp3.

    Mark Carson was on a fast rise to the top of Global Guidance Corporation, but his wife’s multiple affairs temporarily knocked him off the ladder. After their divorce and some time spent trying to make sense of it all, he was working harder than ever to get ahead. But not everyone believes hard work is the way to advance one’s career. Some want to jump straight to the front of the line any way they can. Max Wong, a GGC engineer is one such person - willing to take short cuts to reap the reward of significant wealth. But Wong’s shadow employer, known only as “Falcon” has his own agenda. When Wong’s usefulness runs out, Falcon is ready to move on, and Wong represents something he abhors - a loose end. Falcon’s solution to his problem leaves Carson facing a critical choice - one that will have a long reaching impact on his life and the lives of those around him.

Carson quickly finds himself slipping deeper into a dangerous world of corporate crime, greed and violence. Teaming with his co-worker, Cathy Chin, he doggedly pursues the killers, even as it becomes clear that they are deeply embedded in GGC.
