Pigs Can't Swim: A Memoir , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 592min
With everything happening on Helen Peppe's backwoods Maine farm - ferocious sibling rivalry, rock-bottom poverty, feral male chauvinism, sex in the hayloft - life was out of control, even for the animals. Despite the chaos, in telling her family's story, Peppe manages deadpan humor, an unerring eye for the absurd, and a touching compassion for her utterly overwhelmed parents. While her feisty resilience and candor will inevitably remind listeners of Jeannette Walls or Mary Karr, Peppe's wry insight and moments of tenderness with family and animals are entirely her own. ungekürzt.

Almost two years after H. G, Wells' novel The Time Machine is published in New York City, a dazed young man shows up in Ruth Lonegon’s hayloft.

Only the vaguest of clues hint at who he is and - more importantly - why he's come to a small town in 1896 Colorado.

The local newspaper of 1900 covered the weekly happenings of men, farming, and weather, but what of the Secret Things that were not reported in the papers that first year of the new century? Fred Archer resurrects the way of life of the village folk: how they lived in the cottages tucked away in every coomb under the hill, an outcrop of the Cotswolds that lies between them and the Malverns like a stranded whale, where the beech trees thrive on the limestone, overlooking the snaking Avon river. Here is the true smell of the hayloft and the farmyard, a documented account, month by month, of the year 1900 in a Cotswold village. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Brian Hewlett.

In It for the Long Run: A Musical Odyssey , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 726min
Inspired by the Hank Williams and Leadbelly recordings he heard as a teenager growing up outside of Boston, Jim Rooney began a musical journey that intersected with some of the biggest names in American music, including Bob Dylan, James Taylor, Bill Monroe, Muddy Waters, and Alison Krauss. In It for the Long Run: A Musical Odyssey is Rooney's kaleidoscopic firsthand account of more than five decades of success as a performer, concert promoter, songwriter, music publisher, engineer, and record producer. As witness to and participant in over half a century of music history, Rooney provides a sophisticated window into American vernacular music. Following his stint as a Hayloft Jamboree hillbilly singer in the mid-1950s, Rooney managed Cambridge's Club 47, a catalyst of the '60s folk music boom. He soon moved to the Newport Folk Festival as talent coordinator and director, where he had a front-row seat to Dylan "going electric". In the 1970s, Rooney's odyssey continued in Nashville, where he began engineering and producing records. His work helped alternative country music gain a foothold in Music City and culminated in Grammy nominations for singer-songwriters John Prine, Iris Dement, and Nanci Griffith. Later in his career, he was a key link connecting Nashville to Ireland's folk music scene. Whether he's writing songs or writing his memoir, Jim Rooney is the consummate storyteller. In It for the Long Run: A Musical Odyssey is his singular chronicle from the heart of Americana. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jim Rooney.

The Way Back: A Soldier's Journey , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 670min
Lori Moyer is devastated by an email from far away Wisconsin. "They are tearing down the old dairy barn on your home place and selling it off in pieces". Lori pleads, "It is not just a barn. It is an icon - a way of life!" When a journal is found in a beam in the hayloft, her son sends it to her, explaining, "no one here knows John Chapman who wrote this, perhaps you remember him". Yes, Lori indeed remembers John as a father figure, who thought of her as his own little girl, who rescued her often, and told her stories that guided her life. He was hired to finish the barn and stayed on to run the dairy. She types his name into a search engine and the Internet sends back two news items from 1925, telling of John's disappearance from his own farmstead, and describing how a posse found him a week later hiding in the loft of his barn. Why that happened five years before he came to work for us, Lori reasons, perhaps it explains why he came. Dismayed but intrigued, Lori reads "The Necklace of Words", John's account of his life after fighting in the trenches of World War I. Beginning in 1930 when he was hired, John writes eloquently in poetry and prose of his ongoing battle with what today we call "Post Traumatic Stress". Lori finds herself captivated, as she once was as a child sitting at John's feet, but this time, as she reads of his pain and longing, relives his nightmares, and encounters her parents and herself through his eyes. She reads of Whinneboujou, and his Mule Sweat Lodge where John and her father went to learn the wisdom of the ancient Anishinabe Indians. Did those encounters help John heal from his losses? Did they help him to trust in the veterans' group he later joined? Lori revisits her animal companions, laughs at her father's Irish sayings, and travels with John up Jacob's Ladder, the mystical light beam through the high windows that turned the barn loft into a cathedral. "The War of the Worlds", broadcast in 1938 terrified ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: S.K. Carnes. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/068473/bk_acx0_068473_sample.mp3.
