    Elizabeth I , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 221min
    England's first Queen Elizabeth gave her name to an age. Inheriting a bankrupt, famished, and powerless country, she healed its religious rifts, replenished its treasury, redefined diplomatic guile, defeated the Spanish Armada, and inspired a new flowering of English culture. Her father, Henry VIII, beheaded her mother, Anne Boleyn, and Elizabeth was declared a bastard. As Henry kept marrying and discarding wives, she had to be adroit and canny to avoid being snared in the schemes of courtiers plotting to win the crown. And when at last she ascended the throne, her councilors told her she could survive only by marrying. But she reigned for 44 years as Glorianna, the "Virgin Queen" whose wit, evasions, and towering intellect frustrated enemies both within and outside her island kingdom. The more we know about Elizabeth's endless complexity, the more remains to be learned. Here's a beginning. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Sarah Nichols.

    Laura, a 40-something journalist with a fertile imagination, tries to escape her mother's influence and shuns all contact with her. She receives a call one morning from a spiritual center where her mother had been a regular. She had not called in four days. As Laura enters her mother’s apartment she finds her lying on the floor, completely famished. In the hospital she is diagnosed with a fatal cancer. With great reluctance, Laura is now forced to take care of her mother. In order to distance herself, Laura decides to write down her personal story, thereby reinventing her own persona. The boundaries between the real and fictive Laura, between reality and fiction become blurred. The mother too is given the opportunity to voice her own version. Everyday life is depicted with a dreamlike focus. Reality is punctured by fantastic elements and leaves behind a nightmarish aftertaste. With great insight and dark humor, Laura reveals the dishonesty of her fellow people as well as the abysses in a seemingly ideal world. The resulting novel offers a highly relatable psychological thriller that begins with the mother's near-death and charges on at a breathtaking pace, leaving no emotional stone unturned. ungekürzt.

    The History of the Siege of Lisbon , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 686min
    If proofreaders were given their freedom and did not have their hands and feet tied by a mass of prohibitions more binding than the penal code, they would soon transform the face of the world, establish the kingdom of universal happiness, giving drink to the thirsty, food to the famished, peace to those who live in turmoil, joy to the sorrowful... for they would be able to do all these things simply by changing the words.... The power of the word is evident in Portuguese author José Saramago's novel, The History of the Siege of Lisbon. His protagonist, a proofreader named Raimundo Silva, adds a key word to a history of Portugal and thus rewrites not only the past, but also his own life. Brilliantly translated from the Portuguese by Giovanni Pontiero, The History of the Siege of Lisbon is a meditation on the differences between historiography, historical fiction, and "stories inserted into history". The novel is really two stories in one: the reimagined history of the 1147 siege of Lisbon that Raimundo feels compelled to write and the story of Raimundo's life, including his unexpected love affair with the editor, Maria Sara. In Saramago's masterful hands, the strands of this complex tale weave together to create a satisfying whole. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Robert Blumenfeld.

    Dances with the Rock Star: The Complete Trilogy , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 479min
    The man could kiss to the beat. The hot, eclectic beat of the tango music winding its way through the room. It sounded so judgmental. Tango, the dance of lust and passion...how could it be judgmental about something like this? As Rick kissed her lips, then her throat, and then her clothed shoulders, Olivia felt a famished sensation wash over her, the tango music the soundtrack to her heated desires swelling inside of her until she was about to burst.DANCES WITH THE ROCK STARWhat Olivia Owens cares about: becoming a professional dancer.What she does not care about: handsome Latin rock stars who can charm their way into any woman's bed.She's barely heard of Rick Rodriguez before. Something about selling a lot of albums and selling out his first world tour. But Olivia doesn't have time for men. She's got a career to launch, and Rick's latest music video for "Midnight Tango" is her chance to strut her stuff.But the universe is funny about things. The more you push something away, the more likely it is to come bite you in the ass. So Olivia shouldn't be surprised that Rick really lives up to the title of talented dancer. She should be even less surprised that she's falling for the oldest trick in the tango book....Passion. Vulnerability. The heat of the moment. When combined, any Latin dance will turn two people into an undeniable pair. Olivia wants Rick. Rick wants Olivia. They're about to get really, really close on his first world tour.The Midnight Tango calls. Will Olivia answer? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Louisa Gwin.
