Rocky's Aunt Isabel wants him to live the life of a New York socialite but the poor chap loathes the city with his whole bohemian soul. Bertie's valet Jeeves has a master plan, of course, but it requires Bertie to leave his luxurious apartment. Worst of all, without Jeeves, he has to pick out his own socks and cravats! Surely this is more than man - civilized man that is - can bear! "Jeeves and the Hard-Boiled Egg": Dear old Bicky (also known as Alistair Bingham-Reeves) is in the most frightful spot of bother.

I wouldn't fool you, old top - when I say chickens, I mean actual chickens! Bicky looks to Bertie for advice and Bertie, naturally, expects Jeeves to rally round.

Camp Austen: My Life as an Accidental Jane Austen Superfan , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 223min
A raucous audiobook tour through the world of Mr. Darcy imitations, tailored gowns, and tipsy ballroom dancing The son of a devoted Jane Austen scholar, Ted Scheinman spent his childhood summers eating Yorkshire pudding, singing in an Anglican choir, and watching Laurence Olivier as Mr. Darcy. Determined to leave his mother’s world behind, he nonetheless found himself in grad school organizing the first ever UNC-Chapel Hill Jane Austen Summer Camp, a weekend-long event that sits somewhere between an academic conference and superfan extravaganza. While the long tradition of Austen devotees includes the likes of Henry James and E. M. Forster, it is at the conferences and reenactments where Janeism truly lives. In Camp Austen, Scheinman tells the story of his indoctrination into this enthusiastic world and his struggle to shake his mother’s influence while navigating hasty theatrical adaptations, undaunted scholars in cravats, and unseemly petticoat fittings. In a haze of morning crumpets and restrictive tights, Scheinman delivers a hilarious and poignant survey of one of the most enduring and passionate literary coteries in history. Combining clandestine journalism with frank memoir, academic savvy with insider knowledge, Camp Austen is perhaps the most comprehensive study of Austen that can also be heard in a single sitting. Brimming with stockings, culinary etiquette, and scandalous dance partners, this is summer camp like you’ve never seen it before. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Ted Scheinman.

The Gentleman and the Rogue , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 579min
Lad from the streets meets lord of the manor. Both men's lives will be changed forever. When Sir Alan Watleigh goes searching for sex, he never imagines the street rat he brings home for one last bit of pleasure in his darkest hour will be the man who hauls him back from the edge of the grave. Despite his harsh life in the slums of London, Jem is a bright, cheerful young man. He's also witty, irreverent, glib, and makes Alan laugh - a rare occasion since wartime trauma and the death of his family have made the man a ghost of his former self. A single night of meaningless sex turns into an offer of permanent employment. Jem acts as Alan's valet, but offers him so much more than polished boots and starched cravats. Just as the men are adjusting to their new living arrangement, news about a former soldier under his command sends Sir Watleigh and Jem on the road to save a child in danger. The journey brings them closer together as they travel from lust toward love. They rescue the girl from the clutches of an insane surgeon, who is as interested in experimenting on the vulnerable human spirit as he is on physical bodies. Alan realizes his love for Jem when he nearly loses him, but is Alan's love strong enough to risk society discovering the truth about him? And is he strong enough to finally accept his sexual nature? A reissue of the title first published by Loose Id. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jasper de Montfort. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/007447/bk_acx0_007447_sample.mp3.

The Iron Mistress
Homespun bayou lad Jim Bowie (Alan Ladd) is learning the courtly ways of 1825 Southern society. He's wearing only the finest suits and cravats. Proving himself in business and at the gaming table. And should the occasion call, keeping handy the specially made blade ' tempered with meteorite steel ' that would make his name forever a part of American lore. Yet despite Bowie's prowess in a world of dandies and ruffians, he may be overmatched in the ways of the heart: he's fallen for lovely Jubalon (Virginia Mayo), the magnolia belle fancied by men of means from Natchez to New Orleans. Will her beauty be the only weapon more powerful than Bowie's Iron Mistress blade?- Shop: odax
