Laura ist eine erfolgreiche Verkaufsleiterin, die an einem normalen Montag durch die Straßen von New York hetzt. Sie hat keine Zeit, achtet kaum auf ihre Mitmenschen - auch nicht auf den kleinen Jungen, der sie um Kleingeld anbettelt.

Sie ist schon an der nächsten Straßenecke, als sie plötzlich stehen bleibt - und umkehrt. Sie kauft dem hungrigen Maurice etwas zu essen und erfährt von seinem Leben. Von dem Tag an treffen sich Maurice und Laura jede Woche über Jahre hinweg, immer montags. Dies ist die Geschichte ihrer einzigartigen Freundschaft - die bis heute anhält.

Publisher's Summary:

Sjle krydser tiden som skyer krydser himlen

P en strand p en fjerntliggende i Stillehavet stder den unge amerikaner Adam Ewing p en engelsk lge, der kravler rundt og leder efter tnder. Lgen mener at vide, at kannibalerne har holdt deres festmltider netop her, og tnderne, som de har spyttet ud som kirsebrsten, vil han nu bruge til gebisser til den engelske adel. Adam Ewings Stillehavs-dagbog er den frste af de seks fortllinger, der udgr David Mitchells storslede "Skyatlas". Den strkker sig videre gennem mellemkrigstidens Belgien og 1970'ernes Californien til nutidens London, fremtidens sten og en endnu fjernere fremtid, hvor den sidste rest af civilisation er ved at g under.

"Skyatlas" spnder ubesvret fra den historiske roman over thriller og komedie til science fiction. Fortllingerne giver hver isr genlyd ned gennem historien og samler sig til ét stort eventyr om prisen for menneskets strben efter storhed og magt. Gld dig - "Skyatlas" er en fantastisk oplevelse.

Title: Ukuelig

Author: Laura Hillenbrand

Narrator: Torben Sekov

Format: Unabridged

Length: 17 hrs and 22 mins

Language: English

Release date: 09-04-15

Publisher: AV Forlaget

Genres: Fiction, Literary

Publisher's Summary:

En eftermiddag i maj 1943 styrtede et amerikansk bombefly ned i Stillehavet og forsvandt. Flyets bombeoperatr, Louis Zamperini, fik sig bjrget op p en redningsflde. Dermed begyndte en af de mest bemrkelsesvrdige odysséer under 2. Verdenskrig.

Fr krigen var Louis langdistancelber, og han deltog i OL i Berlin i 1936. Efterflgende var mlet OL i Tokyo i 1940. Det blev som bekendt aldrig til noget, og det blev som krigsfange, at Louis kom til Japan.

Det bedste er egentlig at hre "Ukuelig" uden nogen forhndsviden om, hvad der sker efter styrtet, og blot lade sig forfre af Hillenbrands formidable fortlleevne. Dog skal man vre forberedt p, at bedst som man tror, at nu kan det ikke blive vrre, s bliver det faktisk vrre. Men for at give lytteren en smule ro i sjlen skal det siges, at Louis frst dde den 3. juli 2014. Mod, livsvilje og udholdenhed gennemsyrer Louis' liv, og han er ukuelig p et nsten ubegribeligt plan. Han drives langt ud over alle menneskelige grnser, og alligevel formr han at overleve.

Title: The House of Medici: Seeds of Decline

Subtitle: A Novel

Author: Edward Charles

Narrator: Fran Tunno

Format: Unabridged

Length: 7 hrs and 41 mins

Language: English

Release date: 08-17-15

Publisher: Audible Studios

Genres: Fiction, Literary

Publisher's Summary:

The riveting sequel to The House of Medici: Inheritance of Power.

Lucrezia Tornabuoni, brought up in the Palazzo Medici alongside Cosimo's children, always expected to marry his charismatic younger son, Giovanni. But now in later life, she finds herself imprisoned in a loveless marriage with the gout-ridden elder son, Piero. Like Cosimo, she sees the future salvation of the family in the hands of her own son, Lorenzo the Magnificent, but how can she be sure he inherits the mantle before Piero ruins everything? For years she has groomed her son to be a great prince, and in the process to ignore the Medici Bank - whose wealth has funded the City and Republic of Florence. But now the economy is faltering, the money is running out, the burdens of leadership are becoming more onerous for her son, and she begins to question whether she has led him astray.

Her difficulty is that in the closed society of Florence, there is no-one she can confide in. Then, while on a journey away from the city, she is approached by a young priest, Girolamo Savonarola, recently appointed to a teaching post in Florence and asking for guidance about the workings of Florentine society. In confessing the secrets of her family to this benign outsider, she is able to unburden herself of the various worries that plague her. But Savonarola may not be the simple monk he appears, his objectives proving troublesome in compatibility with Lucrezia's as the two characters hurtle towards a thrilling and unexpected ending.

A slight improvement

This book is somewhat better than the first of the series, the narrative flows more smoothly; however, the setup of the identity of the confessor is too far-reached.

Titel: Gehe hin, stelle einen Wächter

Autor:: Harper Lee

Erzähler: Nina Hoss

Format: Unabridged

Spieldauer: 7 hrs and 31 mins

Sprache: Deutsch

Veröffentlichungsdatum: 07-17-15

Herausgeber: Der Hörverlag

Bewertung: 2.5 von 5 von 2 Stimmen

Kategorien: Fiction, Literary

Zusammenfassung des Herausgebers:

Harper Lee hat bisher nur einen Roman veröffentlicht, doch dieser hat der US-amerikanischen Schriftstellerin Weltruhm eingebracht: "Wer die Nachtigall stört", erschienen 1960 und ein Jahr später mit dem renommierten Pulitzer-Preis ausgezeichnet, ist mit 40 Millionen verkauften Exemplaren und Übersetzungen in mehr als 40 Sprachen eines der meist gelesenen Bücher weltweit. Mit "Gehe hin, stelle einen Wächter" - zeitlich vor "Wer die Nachtigall stört" entstanden - erscheint nun das Erstlingswerk. Das Manuskript wurde nie veröffentlicht und galt als verschollen - bis es eine Freundin der inzwischen 88-jährigen Autorin im September 2014 fand.

In "Gehe hin, stelle einen Wächter" treffen wir die geliebten Charaktere aus "Wer die Nachtigall" stört wieder, 20 Jahre später: Eine inzwischen erwachsene Jean Louise Finch, "Scout", kehrt zurück nach Maycomb und sieht sich in der kleinen Stadt in Alabama, die sie so geprägt hat, mit gesellschaftspolitischen Problemen konfrontiert, die nicht zuletzt auch ihr Verhältnis zu ihrem Vater Atticus infrage stellen.

Ein Roman über die turbulenten Ereignisse im Amerika der 1950er-Jahre, der zugleich ein faszinierend neues Licht auf den Klassiker wirft. Bewegend, humorvoll und überwältigend - ein Buch, das seinem Vorgänger in nichts nachsteht.

Mit ihrer Stimme verleiht Nina Hoss dem literarischen Schatz von Harper Lee funkelnden Glanz.

Title: Son of a Smaller Hero

Author: Mordecai Richler

Narrator: Keon Mohajeri

Format: Unabridged

Length: 9 hrs and 17 mins

Language: English

Release date: 06-23-15

Publisher: Audible Studios

Genres: Fiction, Literary

Publisher's Summary:

Young Noah Adler, passionate, ruthlessly idealistic, is the prodigal son of Montreals Jewish ghetto. Finding tradition in league with self-delusion, he attempts to shatter the ghettos illusory walls by entering the foreign territory of the goyim. But here, freedom and self-determination continue to elude him. Eventually, Noah comes to recognize "justice and safety and a kind of felicity" in a world he cannot - entirely - leave behind. Richlers superb account of Noahs struggle to scale the walls of the ghetto overflows with rich comic satire. Son of a Smaller Hero is a compassionate, penetrating account of the nature of belonging, told with the savage realism for which Mordecai Richlers fiction is celebrated.

This Is An Interesting Novel By Richler - But Not His Best

This is a good 200 page novel by Richler and if was a bit longer and had a bit more character development this would be a 5 star novel. As a point of reference, I have read all of Richler's major works and a few of his early novellas. This was written near the beginning of his career. It follows his first book, The Acrobats, which can be best described as muddled. That novel has not stood up well to the test of time, and there should be no doubt why. It is not good. But Richler wrote more than The Acrobats - all better - and the second novel, the present work, is far better and gives us a taste of what will follow later.

I like Richler's work, but from my reading of his novels it is clear that Richler went through a number of writing phases. Contrary to his critics, he did experiment with his writing. If anything his middle books have too much sex or are even obsessed with sex, while some of his later books such as Solomon Gursky are a bit too ambitious or overly complicated. The present work is from the early years and follows his St. Urbain theme. In short, the present book is more like his latter books, even though it was written early in his career.

Modecai Richler (1931 to 2001) grew up in Montreal and that city is the setting for many of his stories. Many of his novels are about Jews living in Canada and Britain post WWII. He is best known for his tales of life in and around St. Urbain Street. That is an area of three story buildings or walk up row houses located just east of the mountain in Montreal, and north of the commercial center of the city. At one time this was the center of Jewish immigrant life in Montreal.

His break out novel wa Duddy Kravitz which is still a great read whether you have seen the movie or not. Still, I like his last book, Barney's Vision, which is his best written piece of work. The novel lacks the edge and drama of Duddy Kravitz but has things in it that make it better. This present short novel was written early in his career and it is entertaining.

The present book is about three generations of a Jewish family and in particular the story of the twenty year old son, Noah, and his relationship with his father who is "the smaller hero" and his grandfather, a strict and more orthodox Jew. This is part a "self discovery" story and part a love story with a thirty year old woman outside the faith. The first 50 pages wander, but then the story settles down and it is a good novel.

Comparing it to Richler's first novel, The Acrobats, we see a much more focused effort with fewer and more interesting characters. Overall, it is similar to some of his later novels written decades later.
