OK Sicily: A Trip into the Myth: UNESCO Sites, Natural Parks, Cities, Villages and Ghost Cities, Among Temples, Baroque, Nature and Flavors. Thousand-Year-Old Island , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 346min
Although small enough to be an island, Sicily is also large enough to be a continent and has at least two souls: a Western and an Eastern one. These two souls of Sicily are ancient, when the island was inhabited by the Elymians and the Sikani. This ancient "rivalry" continued with Phoenicians and Greeks, Romans and Carthaginians.To put it bluntly, in Sicily, there would also be a third soul, an almost alien part. Even the oranges, it is true, seem to express well the peculiarity of the territory and the perennial duality of the two souls: In the Western region, the oranges grow sweeter, bigger, always good. In contrast, in the Eastern region, they grow red, bloody, strong oranges, like the fire of the volcano Etna that shapes the soil with its ashes and roars.But the truth is that Sicily has a single great soul, complex and deep, the banks of the same river, the faces on the same medal. There is also a middle land, an inner Sicily, now abandoned in their silence and their fate. A naked and cruel destiny, slow, and inexorable, like the many cities already mown by fate. Some are already ghost towns, abandoned villages, left by everyone, now ruins and derelict. However, they preserve and exert a mysterious charm. A fascination that only the bravest tourists can appreciate and maybe, one day, they will be reborn to new life, since the old inhabitants have already fled far away.A trip to Sicily, therefore, is not only a journey through the history, culture, gastronomy, and flavors of a rich and generous land, but it is also a profound journey into the human soul and into the history!If you’re ready, let’s get started! ungekürzt.

My Perfect Wife , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 722min
The evening ahead of her felt like the start of a long tightrope walk above a raging waterfall, where one misstep could be fatal...Everyone in town knows Copper Lodge, that designer home with floor-to-ceiling windows that looms over the small red-brick houses on Connelly Close. And the couple who live there, Elizabeth and Lucas Huxley, with their two blonde-haired, cherubic children, are seemingly perfect, plucked right out of a magazine. But meet Heather, the gardener’s daughter, arriving from the coast in her beat-up little car to spend the summer helping to prepare for the most important night of the Huxleys’ lives: a summer party designed to put Elizabeth’s past trauma behind them and save their family from financial ruin. Heather grew up in the grounds of this magnificent house, she knows its secrets...As the night of the party draws near, the lawn is mown in neat lines, the champagne flutes are sparkling, and you could cut the tension with an over-polished knife. It’s Elizabeth’s one chance to prove to her husband that she’s on the mend, that she can handle something as simple as a drinks reception without snapping under the pressure. If she makes one mistake, he’ll try to take her children away. Heather wants to stay as far away from the party - and the Huxleys - as possible, but something dark keeps dragging her back: the secret she’s been keeping since she was a teenager is about to explode like the fireworks over Copper Lodge...A great listen about the darker side of love and what really goes on under the surface of perfect-looking lives. Clever and unexpected, this book will have you gripped from the very first word until the dramatic final twist. Fans of The Wife Between Us and The Mother-in-Law will be hooked. ungekürzt.
