    The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Hörbuch, Digital, 167min
    The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde is a gothic novella by Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson, first published in 1886. It is about a London legal practitioner named Gabriel John Utterson who investigates strange occurrences between his old friend, Dr Henry Jekyll, and the evil Edward Hyde. The novella's impact is such that it has become a part of the language, with the phrase "Jekyll and Hyde" entering the vernacular to refer to people with an unpredictably dual nature: outwardly good, but sometimes shockingly evil.

    First published in 1879, this collection of ribald and unseemly verses reveals an altogether more voluptuous side to the outwardly prudish Victorians. Using language which has the power to shock even today, this anthology of gutter verse leaves nothing to the imagination, and yet treats its subject matter with gentle wit and comic skill. Strangely addictive.... There was a young man of Wood Green, Who tried to fart "God Save the Queen." When he reached the soprano, He shot his guano, And his breeches weren't fit to be seen. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Emmannuelle Blue.

    Portraits of a Marriage
    A rediscovered masterwork from famed Hungarian novelist Sándor Márai, Portraits of a Marriage tracks the lifelong entanglement of a man and two women haunted by class differences and misdirected longings. Peter and Ilonka are a wealthy couple whose outwardly perfect marriage is undone by secrets. The insecure Ilonka believes she can never be elegant and refined enough for her husband, while Peter has long been tormented by his forbidden love for Judit, a peasant and servant in his childhood home. What Judit longs for most, however, is freedom from the constraints of the society that has ensnared all three in a vortex of love and loss. Set against the backdrop of Hungary between the wars, in a world on the verge of dramatic change, this exquisite novel offers further posthumous evidence of Marai's brilliance. Translated from the Hungarian by George Szirtes

    Babbitt , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 854min
    With his breathtaking social insight and his graceful sentences, Sinclair Lewis—a Pulitzer and Nobel Prize winner—stands out as one of the most important American writers of the 20th century. At turns lyrically soul-searching and scathing in its honesty, Babbitt captures the essence of the 1920s while remaining a timeless piece of literature. Babbitt, the ultimate conformist and social climber, seeks power in his community and self-esteem from others. Outwardly, he is the ultimate “big booster,” and he toes the company line with “zip and zowie.” In his dreams, however, he is tormented by the emptiness of his soul. ungekürzt. Language: English.
