    My Man, Jeeves , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 291min
    Containing drafts of stories later rewritten for other collections (including Carry On, Jeeves), My Man Jeeves offers a fascinating insight into the genesis of comic literature’s most celebrated double-act. All the stories are set in New York, four of them featuring Jeeves and Wooster themselves; the rest concerning Reggie Pepper, an earlier version of Bertie. Plots involve the usual cast of amiable young clots, choleric millionaires, chorus-girls, and vulpine aunts, but towering over them all is the inscrutable figure of Jeeves, manipulating the action from behind the scenes. Early or not, these stories are masterly examples of Wodehouse’s art, turning the most ordinary incidents into golden farce. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jonathan Cecil.

    Niels Lyhne , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 372min
    Jens Peter Jacobsen (1847-1885) was a Danish novelist, poet, and scientist who began the naturalist movement in Danish literature and was a part of the Modern Breakthrough. His 1880 novel Niels Lyhne is a naturalistic work that contains several romantic elements. It relies and expands on romantic themes like the examination of individual struggle and consciousness plus artistic expression and inspiration, while also treating them with irony. The story chronicles the titular character's renunciation of his faith, the loss he suffered, and ultimately, his disillusionment and death. Niels Lyhne shows the individual's helplessness and serves as a critique of both faith and atheism. It is considered as one of Danish literature’s greatest novels. ungekürzt. Language: English.
