The Diary of a Madman and Other Stories: Signet Classics , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 257min

Some call him a Russian Mark Twain. And with his special blend of comedy, social commentary, and fantasy, Nikolai Gogol paved the way for his countrymen Tolstoy and Dostoyevsky. This sampling of Gogol's works includes the increasingly fantastic entries of The Diary of a Madman followed by the wonderfully surrealistic The Nose in which the title character embarks on some unlikely activities when separated from its owner's face. Rounding out the collection are the woefully comic tale of a clerk's acquisition of The Overcoat and Ivan Fyodorovich and his Aunt, in which the title character retires to his country estate, managed by a wily Aunt. ungekürzt.

Toiletpaper Magazine 16

Toiletpaper Magazine 16 Collector's Edition of 1000 numbered copies which includes a Toiletpaper jigsaw puzzle! Toiletpaper is an artists' magazine created and produced by Maurizio Cattelan and Pierpaolo Ferrari and born out of a shared passion for images. The magazine contains no text. Each picture springs from an idea, often simple, and through a complex orchestration of people it becomes the materialization of the artists' mental outbursts. Since the first issue, in June 2010, Toiletpaper has created a world that displays ambiguous narratives and a troubling imagination. It combines the vernacular of commercial photography with twisted narrative tableaux and surrealistic imagery. The result is a publication that is itself a work of art which, through its accessible form as a magazine, and through its wide distribution, challenges the limits of the contemporary art economy.

House of Incest , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 70min

Originally published in 1936, this is Anaïs Nin's first work of fiction. But unlike her diaries and erotica, House of Incest does not detail the author's relationships with her famous lovers, nor does it contain graphic depiction of sex. Rather, it is a surrealistic look within the narrator's subconscious mind as she attempts to escape from a dream in which she is trapped, or in Nin's words, as she attempts to escape from "the woman's season in hell." Nin's usage of the word "incest" in this case is metaphorical, not literal. In other words, in this book the word "incest" describes a selfish love where one can appreciate in another only that which is similar to oneself. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Castle Joiry had been taken. The heavy boots of invaders rang in the hallways, and the arching ceiling echoed back the clash of falling swords.

That very night, Joiry's lady crept by secret ways to the castle's deepest dungeon. Laying her strong hands upon a forbidden door, she bade farewell to the world of treacherous men, then walked of her own will through the doorway and into Hell in search of revenge.

Fragments of a Young Conquistador , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 48min

This story was originally published in Day One, a weekly literary journal dedicated to short fiction and poetry from emerging writers. From award-winning author Lincoln Michel comes a surrealistic story that suffuses the past with modern twists. His father bent on making him a true Spanish nobleman, romantic young Eduardo crosses the seas to join his bumbling, megalomaniacal uncle, Cortés. Once he arrives in the new world, Eduardo falls passionately in love with an Aztec princess yet still assumes his place as a reluctant conquistador, waging bloody battle against the natives. In this darkly comic adventure, Michel takes listeners on a wildly imaginative journey past gigantic sea beasts, gold-gobbling Spaniards, and rioting Aztecs to create a thought-provoking glimpse of history and its true authors. ungekürzt.

Of Princesses and Freaks: Two Short Tales , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 14min

Alex Issa's thought provoking stories are difficult to classify. From post-apocalyptic fables tackling restraint in the absence of law to tales of hit man morality, his short fiction has challenged readers and delighted critics with its minimalist sensibilities and ever-present subtext. Here, two almost surreal short stories lead the listener through disturbing and somehow beautiful locations in the mind. "Bella's Slippers" Locked in the tower, Bella laments her fate, the decisions she made about the liquidation of her mother's estate, and the ambitions that have left her helpless on unforgiving stone with rodents and roaches her only companions. "Big Top Slick" A father explains to his son why running away to the circus isn't the best option in this surrealistic and vaguely philosophical exploration of society, shunning, and human nature. ungekürzt.

Andorra: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 435min

For mysterious reasons, a man forsakes his American life and arrives in a strange country called Andorra. He settles into the grand - and only - hotel in its seaside capital and gradually makes the acquaintance of this tiny city's most prominent residents: the ancient Mrs. Reinhardt, who has a lifetime lease on the penthouse in the hotel; Sophonsobia Quay, the kayaking matriarch of an Andorran dynasty; and the Ricky Dents, an Australian couple who share a first name, a gigantic dog, and a volatile secret. As the stranger reveals himself to his new friends and becomes entangled in their lives, the mystery of his own origin deepens. What is he hiding, and why? And when a mutilated dead body appears in the harbor, everyone is a suspect, including our narrator. Part thriller, part comedy of manners, part surrealistic dream, Andorra is "a work of remarkable and sustained invention and imagination...a nearly perfect book" (Robert Drake, The Philadelphia Inquirer). ungekürzt.

Parent Guide: Helping Children of Divorce (CoD): I-Can-Do-It Book Series , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 49min

This is a power-point audiobook in the I-Can-Do-It Book series. This audiobook covers post-divorce adjustment problems for children, adolescents and young adults. They are the Children of Divorce (CoD). Divorce is a surrealistic and confusing time. Family permanence shatters, venerability of parents dissolves, the covenant of safety ends, feelings of victimization and abandonment intensify, and the expected new role of the offspring - as sympathizer or mediator - forces unwanted changes. As survivors, CoD's suffer predictable symptoms of resentment, family alienation, identity revision, parent replacement, and depression. In this audiobook, parents learn concrete steps to show CoD's how to (a) sample the parent's new world, (b) treat the parent as he or she did before the divorce, (c) view parent as having mortal flaws, and (d) invite the parent to care for them and their own offspring. You will briefly read information, then see a power point slide. Then, answer a question about what you just saw. This allows for fast-learning, and ready-to-use skills. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Empty Nation, Bundle 1 (4 Book Series) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 929min, (USK 18)

Empty Nation is a sci-fi, romantic, political satire comedy. The story begins 200 years in the future. In this first volume the framework for the entire series is defined with a wildly concocted futuristic plan by the new United States government to control the economic fate of the world (nothing new).The two main characters in the series, Mary and Jane, are bred and introduced to the listeners. Their adventures from birth to preschool are humorous and quite amazing. But oddly at the same time they’re being manipulated by the US political system and maintain a pleasantly sedated (government supplied drugs) state in a surrealistic world.This story has many concepts that are bitter and sweet till you realize you’re listening to fiction. The US government in the future is portrayed as an imperialistic, monstrous demon that’s shunned by all other nations.The society in the new America crosses some pretty taboo moral lines supported completely by the new US Constitution with Amendments that legitimize its citizens' lewd sexual behavior.PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio. ungekürzt.
