    Tradition , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 593min
    From New York Times best-selling and award-winning author Brendan Kiely, a stunning new novel that explores the insidious nature of tradition at a prestigious boarding school. Prestigious. Powerful. Privileged. This is Fullbrook Academy, an elite prep school where history looms in the leafy branches over its brick walkways. But some traditions upheld in its hallowed halls are profoundly dangerous. Jules Devereux just wants to keep her head down, avoid distractions, and get into the right college, so she can leave Fullbrook and its old-boy social codes behind. She wants freedom, but ex-boyfriends and ex-best friends are determined to keep her in place. Jamie Baxter feels like an imposter at Fullbrook, but the hockey scholarship that got him in has given him a chance to escape his past and fulfill the dreams of his parents and coaches, whose mantra rings in his ears: Don't disappoint us. When Jamie and Jules meet, they recognize in each other a similar instinct for survival, but at a school where girls in the student handbook are rated by their looks, athletes stack hockey pucks in dorm room windows like notches on a bedpost, and school-sponsored dances push first-year girls out into the night with senior boys, the stakes for safe sex, real love, and true friendship couldn't be higher. As Jules and Jamie's lives intertwine, and the pressures to play by the rules and remain silent about the school's secrets intensify, they see Fullbrook for what it really is. That tradition, a word Fullbrook hides behind, can be ugly, even violent. Ultimately, Jules and Jamie are faced with the difficult question: can they stand together against classmates - and an institution - who believe they can do no wrong? ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Haunted by scandal and secrets, Lillian Baptiste fled Dominica when she was 14, after discovering she was the daughter of Iris, the half-crazy woman whose life was told of in chanté mas songs sung during Carnival - songs about a village on a mountaintop littered with secrets, masquerades that supposedly fly and wreak havoc, and a man who suddenly and mysteriously dropped dead. After 20 years away, Lillian returns to her native island to face the demons of her past - and with the help of Teddy, a man who has loved her for many years, she may yet find a way to heal. Set in both contemporary Washington, DC, and post-World War II Dominica, Unburnable weaves together West Indian history, African culture, and American sensibilities. Richly textured and lushly rendered, Unburnable showcases a welcome and assured new voice. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Robin Miles.

    For Nate Wilder, anxiety is nothing new. Regularly suffering from panic attacks triggered by news reports of world catastrophes, he can barely handle his everyday life even when, rationally, the events should not affect him. Nate becomes a prepper to help him cope with the anxiety, stocking a makeshift shelter. So when nuclear disaster actually strikes home, Nate must employ truly heroic courage or fold to his fears. But in the aftermath of the bombs, it quickly becomes apparent that surviving the attack is just the beginning - there is far worse yet to come. Wormwood is a taut, post-apocalyptic thriller told from the perspective of three main characters: flawed hero Nate; Jeanette, his beautifully flawed love interest; and Simon, the unstable leader of their survivor community. ungekürzt.

    Spontaneous , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 593min
    Now a new motion picture starring Katherine Langford, Charlie Plummer, and Hayley Law! “Truly the smartest and funniest book about spontaneous combustion you will ever read.” (John Green, number-one best-selling author of The Fault in Our Stars) Mara Carlyle's senior year is going as normally as could be expected, until - wa-bam! - fellow senior Katelyn Ogden explodes during third period precalc. Katelyn is the first, but she won't be the last teenager to blow up without warning or explanation. As the seniors continue to pop like balloons and the national eye turns to Mara's suburban New Jersey hometown, the FBI rolls in, and the search for a reason is on. Whip-smart and blunt, Mara narrates the end of their world as she knows it while trying to make it to graduation in one piece. It's an explosive year punctuated by romance, quarantine, lifelong friendship, hallucinogenic mushrooms, bloggers, ice cream trucks, "Snooze Button™", Bon Jovi, and the filthiest language you've ever heard from the president of the United States. Aaron Starmer rewrites the rulebook with Spontaneous. But beneath the outrageous is a ridiculously funny, super honest, and truly moving exemplar of the absurd and raw truths of being a teenager in the 21st century...and the heartache of saying goodbye. “Wildly inventive.” (Entertainment Weekly “Must List”)“A comically surreal novel that will blow your mind.” (People Magazine) ungekürzt.

    Die Besessenen, Hörbuch, Digital, 593min
    Nachdem mit Russland mittlerweile ein kalter bis lauwarmer Krieg ausgebrochen ist, gilt hierzulande als politisch unkorrekt, welcher versucht zu verstehen, wie die Russen ticken - d.h. wie sie denken und fühlen. Die derzeit massenweise veröffentlichte Meinung suggeriert, das sogenannte Russlandversteher als fünfte Kolonne firmieren. Wenn das so weiter geht, dann landet womöglich ein Schriftsteller wie Dostojewski auf dem Index. Es gilt also die verbleibende Zeit zu nutzen, um ein Zipfelchen von dem zu erhaschen, dass uns die Gemengelage der Verwirrten allerorten einigermaßen plausibel macht. Und bis dato ist noch niemand am Firmament aufgetaucht, der das besser und treffender in Worte gefasst hätte als der Großschriftsteller und Großhumorist F. M. Dostojewski. Insbesondere sein Roman "Die Besessenen" (auch übersetzt mit "Die Dämonen", "Die Teufel", "Böse Geister"), der zu großen Teilen 1870 in Dresden geschrieben wurde und der in der verblichenen Sowjetunion de facto verboten war, enthält immens viel (Zünd)Stoff, den generellen Irrsinn des Weltenlaufs zu beglaubigen. Dostojewski war sich selbst durchaus im Klaren, dass er mit seiner rigorosen Offenheit und seinem horrenden Humor sich nur wenig Freunde machen würde: "Ich schreibe diesen Roman, weil ich zornig bin. Sie werden mich wie Hunde anbellen, die Nihilisten und die Westler und mich als einen Reaktionär behandeln. Aber hol' sie der Teufel, ich werde alles sagen, was ich denke. deutsch.
