Proving Ground , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 750min
From New York Times best-selling author and Edgar Award winner Peter Blauner comes a gritty new audiobook. "Ari Fliakos enhances an exciting story with his expert narration. He gives everyone a unique identity, differentiating them through varying tones, voices, and accents." (AudioFile magazine) Nathaniel Dresden never really got along with his father, an infamous civil rights lawyer who defended criminals and spearheaded protest movements. As an act of rebellion, Natty joined the US Army and served in Iraq, coming back with a chest full of commendations and a head full of disturbing memories. But when his father is found murdered near the peaceful confines of Brooklyn's Prospect Park, Natty is forced to deal with the troubled legacy of their unresolved relationship. He also has to fend off the growing suspicions of NYPD Detective Lourdes Robles, a brash Latina cop with something to prove, who thinks Natty might bear some responsibility for his father's death. Though truth be told, the list of people - cops and criminals - who wanted David Dresden out of the way is long. The search for answers leads Natty and Lourdes into an urban labyrinth where they must confront each other - and the brutal truths that could destroy them both. Proving Ground is Peter Blauner's first audiobook in more than a decade. It is at once a sweeping crime narrative, an intricate story about the quest for redemption, and a vibrant portrait of contemporary New York City, all told in Blauner's singular voice. "Ari Fliakos gives a splendid performance. His versatile voice and energy enliven the many characters in this thriller." - Library Journal ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Ari Fliakos.

Central Park: An Anthology , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 352min
Central Park is perhaps the most well-trod and familiar green space in the country. It is both a refuge from the city and Manhattan's very heart; a respite from the urban grind and a hive of activity all its own. Eight hundred forty-three carefully planned acres allow some 37 million visitors each year to come and get lost in a sense of nature. Unsurprisingly, the park also inspires a wealth of great writing, and here Andrew Blauner collects some of the finest fiction and nonfiction - 20 pieces in all, with classics sprinkled among 13 new ones commissioned from great New York writers. Bill Buford spends a wild night in the park; Jonathan Safran Foer envisions it as a tiny, transplanted piece of a mythical Sixth Borough; and Marie Winn answers definitively Holden Caulfield's question of where the ducks go when the park's ponds freeze over. There are bird sightings and fish sightings; Jackie Kennedy and James Brown sightings; and pieces by Colson Whitehead, Paul Auster, and Francine Prose. This vibrant collection presents Central Park in all its many-faceted glory, a 51-block swath of special magic. Introduction ©2012 by Adrian Benepe. Epilogue ©2012 by Doug Blonsky.

America Lost and Found: The BBS Story (Criterion Collection)
Like the rest of America, Hollywood was ripe for revolution in the late sixties. Cinema attendance was down, what had once worked seemed broken. Enter Bob Rafelson, Bert Schneider and Steve Blauner, who knew that what Hollywood needed was new audiences (namely, young people) and that meant cultivating new talent and new ideas. Fueled by money made from their invention of the superstar TV pop group the Monkees, they set off on a film-industry journey that would lead them to form BBS Productions, a company that was also a community. The innovative films produced by this team between 1968 and 1972 are collected in this box set, works created within the studio system but lifted right out of the countercultural id, and that now range from iconic to the acclaimed to the obscure. Starring Davy Jones, Michael Nesmith, Dennis Hooper, Peter Fonda, Jack Nicholson, Karen Black, Orson Welles. Films featured include EASY RIDER, FIVE EASY PIECES, THE LAST PICTURE SHOW, THE KING OF MARVIN GARDENS, HEAD, DRIVE HE SAID, a SAFE PLACE.- Shop: odax
