Spero , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 193min
In 1979, Ursula Westmacott impulsively left London and her modelling career to join her boyfriend Chris Crocker on board Spero, a 42-foot sailing boat built in 1909 and never modernized - no engine and just a sextant for navigation. The two intrepid sailors headed south for Gibraltar, then Africa, finally crossing the Atlantic to reach Brazil. Westmacott's account of their voyage - hilarious at times, hair-raising at others - forms a remarkable adventure story from a pre-Internet era. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Helen Lloyd.

Edge of Civilization , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 295min
Earl Hollsopple lived on the edge of civilization in a deserted shack for nearly 40 years. His life was one beautiful night of stargazing after another, until a helicopter flies overhead, and exposes his meager world. It is a sign; it is time for him to return to civilization. Unknowingly, Earl's journey parallels another he had deeply repressed, and that is his return from the Vietnam War. The lone survivor of a plane crash, Earl waits for rescue that never comes. He is left to find his way home alone. On both his quests, old Earl and young Earl learn lessons of survival, overcoming isolation, and handling conflicts; his travels teach him not just about himself, but humankind. Reaching pivotal points in both journeys, Earl meets fateful loves, leading to destinies that are ultimately intertwined. Everything in life circles until we are able to answer the riddles that plague man and humanity. Only until we take the journey, solve the problems of our own existence, do we find our way home. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Don McDonald.
