The Private Patient , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 885min
Cheverell Manor is a lovely old house in deepest Dorset, now a private clinic belonging to the famous plastic surgeon George Chandler-Powell. When investigative journalist Rhoda Gradwyn arrived there one late autumn afternoon, scheduled to have a disfiguring and long-standing facial scar removed, she had every expectation of a successful operation and a pleasant week recuperating. Two days later she was dead, the victim of murder. To Commander Adam Dalgliesh, who with his team is called in to investigate the case, the mystery at first seems absolute. Few things about it make sense. Yet as the detectives begin probing the lives and backgrounds of those connected with the dead woman the surgeon, members of the manor staff, close acquaintances suspects multiply all too rapidly. New confusions arise, including strange historical overtones of madness and a lynching 350 years in the past. Then there is a second murder, and Dalgliesh finds himself confronted by issues even more challenging than innocence or guilt. P. D. James has gained an enviable reputation for creating detective stories of uncommon depth and intricacy, combined with the sort of humanity and perceptiveness found only in the finest novelists. The Private Patient ranks among her very best. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Rosalyn Landor. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/rand/001658/bk_rand_001658_sample.mp3.

Max McLean’s skillful narration will help you understand, memorize, and enjoy God’s Word. "These are the most engaging recordings of the Bible I have ever heard.” Hank Hanegraaff, The Bible Answer Man President, Christian Research Institute "He sounds as you might expect the writers of the text to sound if they were speaking instead of writing.... McLean reads the Bible like it is the Word of God." Donald Whitney Professor of Biblical Spirituality, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Max McLean.

How to Catch a Bogle , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 431min
As a bogler's apprentice, 10-year-old Birdie has faced down plenty of monsters lurking in the chimneys, wells, and other dark places of Victorian London. She serves as bait, singing sweetly to lure the bogles out so her master, the well-seasoned Go-Devil Man Alfred Bunce, can kill them with his trusty spear. Enter the wealthy folklorist Miss Eames, who is determined to find more scientific ways of drawing out the monsters, and Birdie fears that her livelihood may be threatened by the well-meaning lady. Meanwhile, orphans are disappearing and a bogle is suspected, but Alfred and Birdie discover something even more sinister at work. The first in a projected trilogy, this book treats readers to a lively, engaging story with an endearing protagonist at its center. Capable, forthright, and street-wise, Birdie fairly leaps off the page with pluck, intelligence, and courage. Historical details are woven in to ensure that readers are firmly ensconced in Victorian London, where bogles may be waiting to snatch unsuspecting children, but they are certainly not the only danger to be had. The well-paced story builds to an exciting climax as each bogle encounter raises the stakes and Birdie and Alfred face a decision that will change their lives. While this particular adventure is wrapped up nicely, readers will be delighted that the stage is set for future bogling exploits. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Mandy Williams.

Nighttime Is My Time , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 558min
The definition of an owl had always pleased him: a night bird of prey...sharp talons and soft plumage which permits noiseless flight...applied figuratively to a person of nocturnal habits. 'I am The Owl,' he would whisper to himself after he had selected his prey, 'and nighttime is my time.'" Jean Sheridan, a college dean and prominent historian, sets out to her hometown to attend the 20-year reunion of Stonecroft Academy alumni, where she is to be honored along with six other members of her class. There is something uneasy in the air: one woman in the group about to be feted, Alison Kendall, a beautiful, high-powered Hollywood agent, drowned in her pool during an early-morning swim. Alison is the fifth woman in the class whose life has come to a sudden, mysterious end. Adding to Jean's sense of unease is a taunting, anonymous fax she received, referring to her daughter -- a child she had given up for adoption 20 years ago. At the award dinner, Jean is introduced to Sam Deegan, a detective obsessed by the unsolved murder of a young woman who may hold the key to the identity of the Stonecroft killer. Jean does not suspect that among the distinguished people she is greeting is The Owl, a murderer nearing the countdown on his mission of vengeance against the Stonecroft women who had mocked and humiliated him, with Jean as his final victim. ungekürzt.

The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 65min
Isaac Dooman (1857-1931), clergyman, traveler, and linguist, was born in Iran. For 25 years he served as an Episcopalian missionary in Japan and later moved permanently to the United States. One of his four children was Eugene Dooman, who became an influential diplomat and who had a significant role in wartime negotiations between Japan and the USA. Dooman's translation of the Rubaiyat, containing 180 quatrains, was first published in 1911. It has a roughhewn quality, reminiscent of the style of an earlier American translator, John Payne, who published a collection of 845 quatrains in 1898. In the introduction the translator writes: "Omar has expressed the inner and hidden thoughts of the individual man in such an unmistakable language that the simplest of human beings can recognize in them his own yearnings and aspirations. There is not a single quatrain whose sentiments have not been expressed by every man and woman living - if not in public, then assuredly in private. Just here is the point of Omar's unique grandeur - he has revealed the innermost thoughts of our nature in a manner that no other writer, ancient or modern, has ever succeeded doing. "How far the present translation will be found successful in familiarizing the reading public with the true language of Omar's quatrains, it has to be left to the judgment of the individual reader. All that the translator wishes to say is that he has spared no effort in selecting the most genuine ones and giving them an English dress that Omar himself might have mistaken for the real Persian." ungekürzt.
