    Paris Trilogie, Hörbuch, Digital, 163min
    Die Trilogie kreist um den jungen Nestor, auch Pipett genannt. Er ist Privatdetektiv, Poet und Anarchist in den Jahren zwischen den Weltkriegen. Zusammen mit Freunden wie Lebœuf, dem bulligen Lumpensammler und Jahrmarktringer, sorgt er - neben einigen Gaunereien - in der Stadt der Liebe für etwas mehr Gerechtigkeit. Das Paris der 20er, 30er und 40er Jahre ist Schauplatz vieler Verbrechen, begangen von und an oftmals äußerst obskuren Gestalten. Kopflose Leichen, skandalumwitterte Grafen, ein Toter in einem Tresor, verführerische Dienstmädchen, gewissenlose Großindustrielle, Zauberkünstler, Waffenschmuggler, depressive Psychiater und Surrealisten bevölkern diese bunte Stadt. Zwischen Poesie und Lebensfrust treiben sich die Pariser damals auf Trödelmärkten herum, pendeln zwischen Cabarets, Literaturzirkeln und verrauchten Gewerkschaftsräumen. Der anarchistische Detektiv Nestor schlägt sich hier mit Groß- und Kleinkriminellen herum, verliebt sich, flüchtet, kehrt zurück und sieht sich im Herzen Europas mit einer zunehmend verrückt gewordenen Welt konfrontiert. Der nächste Weltkrieg steht unmittelbar bevor. deutsch.

    Oscar , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 339min
    Brad succumbs to the white plague; Oscar, too, spends his days fighting disease, confined to a hospital. Playing the organ at night for a mysterious sickly girl, he discovers his own talent, although years after recovery, he finds himself desperate, poor and depressed - until the devil, otherwise known to the world as impresario Norman G, happens on him in a moment of crisis.   Inspired by the life of legendary jazz pianist Oscar Peterson, Mauricio Segura’s Oscar evokes periods across time, from the Depression-era Montreal neighbourhood of Little Burgundy to the swinging cabarets of the 1950s, while offering a reflection on the bonds between an artist and the Caribbean diaspora from which he comes. But above all, Oscar is a poignant homage to a musical giant, a man who changed the face of jazz forever. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Nick Gallager.

    We Bombed in New London , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 297min
    We Bombed in New London tells the true story of one man's tenacious plight to get his musical mounted. From its romantic inception to its eventual demise and then the score's resurrection in cabarets and recordings, this book takes you on a journey through the ups and downs of the theatrical world with all its excitement, disappointment, laughter and hope. This book documents composer/lyricist Brian Gari's minute by minute development of his musical. Fortunately, he saved every scrap of paper, tape and calendar to account accurately for why and when certain steps were taken that eventually led to the sad dissolution of this promising musical. Brian Gari began his songwriting career at age 12 with his first song published at 15 and recorded at 17. He signed with Vanguard Records in 1975 and has recorded eight solo CDs to date. In 1987 his first musical, Late Nite Comic, arrived on Broadway. With over 800 songs to date, he is currently at work on his next musical, which is about his legendary grandfather, Eddie Cantor. This is his first book. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Brian Gari. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/000957/bk_acx0_000957_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    Music in the Holocaust
    In Music in the Holocaust Shirli Gilbert provides the first large-scale, critical account in English of the role of music amongst communities imprisoned under Nazism. She documents a wide scope of musical activities, ranging from orchestras and chamber groups to choirs, theatres, communal sing-songs, and cabarets, in some of the most important internment centres in Nazi-occupied Europe, including Auschwitz and the Warsaw and Vilna ghettos. Gilbert is also concerned with exploring the ways in which music--particularly the many songs that were preserved--contribute to our broader understanding of the Holocaust and the experiences of its victims. Music in the Holocaust is, at its core, a social history, taking as its focus the lives of individuals and communities imprisoned under Nazism. Music opens a unique window on to the internal world of those communities, offering insight into how they understood, interpreted, and responded to their experiences at the time.

    Island of the Mad , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 674min
    With Mrs. Hudson gone from their lives and domestic chaos building, the last thing Mary Russell and her husband, Sherlock Holmes, need is to help an old friend with her mad and missing aunt. Lady Vivian Beaconsfield has spent most of her adult life in one asylum after another, since the loss of her brother and father in the Great War. And although her mental state seemed to be improving, she’s now disappeared after an outing from Bethlem Royal Hospital...better known as Bedlam. Russell wants nothing to do with the case - but she can’t say no. And at least it will get her away from the challenges of housework and back to the familiar business of investigation. To track down the vanished woman, she brings to the fore her deductive instincts and talent for subterfuge - and of course enlists her husband’s legendary prowess. Together, Russell and Holmes travel from the grim confines of Bedlam to the winding canals and sun-drenched Lido cabarets of Venice - only to find the foreboding shadow of Benito Mussolini darkening the fate of a city, an era, and a tormented English lady of privilege. ungekürzt.
