    A Bigamist's Daughter: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 539min
    The New York Times best-selling author of After This and Charming Billy. Elizabeth Connelly, editor at a New York vanity press, sells the dream of publication (admittedly, to writers of questionable talent). Stories of true emotional depth rarely cross her desk. But when a young writer named Tupper Daniels walks in, bearing an unfinished novel, Elizabeth is drawn to both the novelist and his story - a lyrical tale about a man in love with more than one woman at once. Tupper’s manuscript unlocks memories of her own secretive father, who himself may have been a bigamist. As Elizabeth and Tupper search for the perfect dénouement, their affair, too, approaches a most unexpected and poignant coda. A brilliant debut from one of our most celebrated authors, A Bigamist’s Daughter is "a wise, sad, witty novel about men and women, God, hope, love, illusion, and fiction itself" (Newsweek). ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Tavia Gilbert. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/aren/001426/bk_aren_001426_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    Hombre , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 261min
    Grand master Elmore Leonard is justifiably acknowledged as "the best writer of crime fiction alive" (Newsweek) - and, in fact, one of the very best ever, alongside other all-time greats like John D. MacDonald, Dashiell Hammett, James M. Cain, and Robert Parker. But he has also many acclaimed masterworks of American Western fiction to his credit - including Hombre, the basis for the classic Hollywood motion picture starring Paul Newman. Set in Arizona mining country, Hombre is the tale of a white man raised by Indians, who must come to the aid of people who hate him when their stagecoach is attacked by outlaws. As thrilling as his contemporary novels of crime, double-cross, and murder in Detroit and Miami, Hombre is Elmore Leonard at his riveting best - no less than one would expect from the creator of US Marshal Raylan Givens (Justified). ungekürzt.

    Bedingungslos geliebt
    Das Geheimnis der Liebe Gottes: Sie ist vorleistungsfrei zu haben. Jederzeit und mit Ewigkeitshorizont. Das ist die Lehrstunde fürs Leben von großen und kleinen Brüdern und Schwestern.Nach seinem ersten Buch The Reason for God nannte die amerikanische Zeitschrift Newsweek Timothy Keller einen "C. S. Lewis für das 21. Jahrhundert". Diesmal legt Keller das Gleichnis vom verlorenen Sohn aus - oder das Gleichnis von den zwei verlorenen Söhnen, wie es besser heißen müsste. Denn Keller zeigt, dass der ältere Sohn ebenso verloren ist wie der jüngere. Mit frischer, ungestelzter Sprache, scharfsinniger Menschenkenntnis und Beispielen aus aktuellen Büchern und Filmen führt Keller uns vor Augen, dass Jesus in diesem Gleichnis seinen Zuhörern die gesamte biblische Botschaft in einer unnachahmlich verdichteten Form präsentierte."In einer Flut von Bestsellern, geschrieben von Skeptikern und Atheisten, die einen nichtexistenten Gott des Verbrechens gegen die Menschlichkeit anklagen, ragt Timothy Keller als schlagkräftiger Kontrapunkt und Verteidiger des Glaubens heraus."The Washington Post

    Winners and Losers: Battles, Retreats, Gains, Losses, and Ruins From the Vietnam War , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1171min
    Now an American classic, this is a Vietnam book unlike any other, written by a woman who, after two years of covering the war for The New York Times, comes home wanting to once more love her country and to understand it. In four years of interviews that Newsweek called “superb,” Emerson traveled across America to speak to people who fought the war or who fought against it, to those who paid little attention and to others whose lives were changed by it. Her reporting on a small town in Kentucky, which suffered high losses, is considered a remarkable inquiry into the meaning of war and its effects on us. Winners & Losers is not just a book about the American experience, for she writes about the Vietnamese people as well with the same insight and brilliance that characterized her reporting during the war, which held her, and so many others, long after it was over. ungekürzt.
