    Taken , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 260min, (USK 18)
    Belle Parker hated her father's vision of teaching religion to a small nomadic jungle tribe. She found them and their customs repulsive and felt her youth wasted in the hot stifling jungles completely removed from civilized society. She was young, attractive, and more than anything else, she wanted to travel the world and meet all manner of exotic men. Maybe even find one worth of giving her cherished and tightly guarded virginity to. She actively avoided any kind of contact with the natives, and they, in turn, left her alone.Until a group of them, wild and fueled by intense sexual frustration, kidnapped Belle and took her far away from her father, intent on showing her just how erotically depraved they could be... ungekürzt.

    The Buttonmaker's Daughter , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 666min
    May 1914. Nestled in Sussex, the Summerhayes mansion seems the perfect country idyll. But a long-running feud between the Summers and their neighbour, Lady Summer's brother, threatens the calm. And with tensions in Europe deepening, it seems that Summerhayes' peaceful days are numbered. For Elizabeth Summer, the lazy quiet of her home has become stifling. A chance meeting with Aiden Kellaway, an architect's assistant, offers the promise of escape. But to secure her family's future, Elizabeth must marry well. A man of trade - however alluring - will fall far from her father's uncompromising standards. As the sweltering heat of 1914 builds to a storm, Elizabeth must face a choice between family loyalty...and an uncertain future with the man she loves. One thing is certain: this summer will change everything. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Genevieve Swallow. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/hcuk/002674/bk_hcuk_002674_sample.mp3.

    The Empire Must Die: Russia's Revolutionary Collapse, 1900 - 1917 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1329min
    The window between two equally stifling autocracies - the imperial family and the communists - was open only briefly, in the last couple of years of the 19th century until the end of WWI, by which time the revolution was in full fury. From the last years of Tolstoy until the death of the Tsar and his family, however, Russia experimented with liberalism and cultural openness. In Europe, the Ballet Russe was the height of chic. Novelists and playwrights blossomed, political ideas were swapped in coffee houses, and St. Petersburg felt briefly like Vienna or Paris. The state, however, couldn't tolerate such experimentation against the backdrop of a catastrophic war and a failing economy. The autocrats moved in and the liberals were overwhelmed. This story seems to have strangely prescient echoes of the present. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Simon Vance.

    Who Stole Feminism? , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 785min
    Philosophy professor Christina Sommers has exposed a disturbing development: how a group of zealots, claiming to speak for all women, are promoting a dangerous new agenda that threatens our most cherished ideals and sets women against men in all spheres of life. In case after case, Sommers shows how these extremists have propped up their arguments with highly questionable but well-funded research, presenting inflammatory and often inaccurate information and stifling any semblance of free and open scrutiny. Trumpeted as orthodoxy, the resulting "findings" on everything from rape to domestic abuse to economic bias to the supposed crisis in girls' self-esteem perpetuate a view of women as victims of the "patriarchy". Who Stole Feminism? is a call to arms that will enrage or inspire, but cannot be ignored. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kristen Underwood.

    Antic Hay , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 546min
    Young Oxford tutor Theodore Gumbril has become thoroughly dismayed by the formality of college life and the staid British institutions of learning. An impetuous need for celebration, even rebellion, possesses him. He and his bohemian companions embark on wild and daring "bacchanalian" adventures that steer them resolutely away from stifling conventions of behavior.Antic Hay, first published in 1923, is one of Aldous Huxley's earlier novels, and like them is primarily a 'novel of ideas' involving conversations which disclose viewpoints rather than establish characters; its polemical theme unfolds against the backdrop of London's post-war nihilistic Bohemia. This is Huxley at his biting, brilliant best -- a novel, loud with derisive laughter, which satirically scoffs at all conventional morality and at stuffy people everywhere -- a novel that's always charged with excitement. ungekürzt.

    This Is Your Brain on Anxiety , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 59min
    Anxiety - it's the worst: choking, stifling, smothering, tingling, panicking, brain cutting out, bad decisions. You're a human being, so you know exactly what's being said here. Dr. Faith Harper lays it all out: what anxiety is, what it's good for - that's right, it's actually a necessary response that helps to keep us alive in bad situations - how to know when it's gone overboard, and practical tips on how to deal with it when it gets bad. This book is a lifesaver for panic attacks, breaking out of flight-or-fight-or-freeze responses, and for chronic anxiety.

    In the Tunnel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 76min
    Haruki is traveling to the vast plains of Hokkaido, Japan, on a lone bus about to enter a three-kilometer-long tunnel. He is grieving for the loss of his wife when the tunnel collapses and traps the bus inside. In the darkness that follows, he manages to fumble out of the bus with the only other survivor, an astute and gentle woman who reminds him of his late wife. Without any light to guide them and with only each other to depend on, they try to escape the stifling darkness and along the way find themselves confronted by their pasts and given their last chance at intimacy, and ultimately, absolution. A realist story that plays with surreal elements, the tale poses a simple question: what is the meaning of hope? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Alexander Cendese.
