The Unbearable Lightness of Being: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 577min
A young woman is in love with a successful surgeon, a man torn between his love for her and his incorrigible womanizing. His mistress, a free-spirited artist, lives her life as a series of betrayals - while her other lover, earnest, faithful, and good, stands to lose everything because of his noble qualities. In a world where lives are shaped by irrevocable choices and fortuitous events, and everything occurs but once, existence seems to lose its substance, its weight. Hence we feel “the unbearable lightness of being.” A major achievement from one of the world’s truly great writers, Milan Kundera’s magnificent novel of passion and politics, infidelity and ideas, encompasses the extremes of comedy and tragedy, illuminating all aspects of human existence. ungekürzt.

Slowness , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 205min
Milan Kundera's lightest novel, a divertimento, an opera buffa, Slowness is also the first of this author's fictional works to have been written in French. Disconcerted and enchanted, the listener follows the narrator of Slowness through a midsummer's night in which two tales of seduction, separated by more than 200 years, interweave and oscillate between the sublime and the comic. Underlying this libertine fantasy is a profound meditation on contemporary life: about the secret bond between slowness and memory, about the connection between our era's desire to forget and the way we have given ourselves over to the demon of speed, and about 'dancers' possessed by the passion to be seen, for whom life is merely a perpetual show emptied of every intimacy and every joy. ungekürzt.

Random Synapse Misfire (Volume 1): A Horror Anthology Novella , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 170min
People always say "There's more than meets the eye", but they rarely realize just how true those words are. Behind every mundane situation that goes on, there are innumerable circumstances that led to that exact event. Sometimes they are average, ordinary things that each of us experience day in and day out, but sometimes things happen that lack a logical explanation. Others have a seemingly obvious reason that is so far fetched that it becomes unbelievable. Can you trust your eyes when there's no time to rationalize? Will fear rule you? Hoxie tells the story of a small, midwestern town thrown into terror and chaos after an industrial "accident". Lights Out follows Lenny, a small-time crook and his crew who find out that some too-good-to-be-true offers are just that...and worse. The Night Ferry focuses on a small group of travelers who encounter a strange and deadly force while taking the final crossing of the night. ungekürzt. Language: English.

It all started when Jeff Guinn was assigned to write a piece full of little-known facts about Christmas for his paper, The Fort Worth Star-Telegram.

The next thing he knew, he was whisked off to the North Pole to meet with this “very important friend,” and the rest is, well, as they say, history.An enchanting holiday treasure, The Autobiography of Santa Claus combines solid historical fact with legend to deliver the definitive story of Santa Claus. And who better to lead us through 17 centuries of Christmas magic than good ol’ Saint Nick himself? Families will delight in each chapter of this new Christmas classic - one per each cold December night leading up to Christmas! ungekürzt. Language: English.

Identity: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 233min
There are situations in which we fail for a moment to recognize the person we are with, in which the identity of the other is erased while we simultaneously doubt our own. This also happens with couples - indeed, above all with couples, because lovers fear more than anything else "losing sight" of the loved one. With stunning artfulness in expanding and playing variations on the meaningful moment, Milan Kundera has made this situation - and the vague sense of panic it inspires - the very fabric of this novel. Here brevity goes hand in hand with intensity, and a moment of bewilderment marks the start of a labyrinthine journey during which the reader repeatedly crosses the border between the real and the unreal, between what occurs in the world outside and what the mind creates in its solitude. Of all contemporary writers, only Kundera can transform such a hidden and disconcerting perception into the material for a novel, one of his finest, most painful, and most enlightening - which, surprisingly, turns out to be a love story. ungekürzt.

The Joke , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 704min
All too often, this brilliant novel of thwarted love and revenge miscarried has been read for its political implications. Now, a quarter century after The Joke was first published and several years after the collapse of the Soviet-imposed Czechoslovak regime, it becomes easier to put such implications into perspective in favour of valuing the book (and all Kundera's work) as what it truly is: great, stirring literature that sheds new light on the eternal themes of human existence. This audio edition provides English-language listeners an important further means toward revaluation of The Joke. For reasons he describes in his author's note, Milan Kundera devoted much time to creating (with the assistance of his American publisher-editor) a completely revised translation that reflects his original as closely as any translation possibly can: reflects it in its fidelity not only to the words and syntax but also in the characteristic dictions and tonalities of the novel's narrators. The result is nothing less than the restoration of a classic. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Richmond Hoxie.
