Title: [Spanish] - En un lugar de la Mancha. Don Quijote en verso

Author: Alexis Díaz-Pimienta

Narrator: Alexis Díaz-Pimienta

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 8 hours 16 minutes

Release date: September 21, 2022

Genres: LGBTQ+

Publisher's Summary:

«El Don Quijote que ahora alumbra Alexis Díaz-Pimienta es un canto de amor tan fiel al Don Quijote de hace cinco siglos que nos hace sentir no como traición, sino como sutil y gentil contrapunto que ha estado todo ese tiempo madurando, macerando, esperando su momento, el espacio en blanco que sigue a la pausa versal y la traviesa inventiva que destilan sus estrofas (…) el Don Quijote de Alexis Díaz Pimienta tiene en común con el de Cervantes algo de lo que casi ningún otro de sus avatares se puede preciar: los dos son hijos de ingenios y sensibilidades que vivieron inmersos en culturas esencialmente orales, reminiscencias de mundos que fueron en buena medida sonoros antes de que se desvanecieran, en el camino abajo que va de la voz a la letra, los timbres, tonos y ritmos —y ruidos, gritos y estruendos— que no pueden encontrar reflejo fidedigno en la escritura».

The sixth book in the dramatic and intriguing story about the colonisation of Australia: a country built on blood, passion, and dreams. Twenty thousand kilometres and four months of sailing are what stands between England and the colony of Australia. In his struggles to bring order in the colony, and to protect its settlers from abuse of power, and injustice, Governor Bligh is up against some powerful enemies and mischievous schemers. Three strong-minded governors have failed to complete the task before him ... And England seems to have had enough of the war against France. Rebels and outcasts, they fled halfway across the earth to settle the harsh Australian wastelands. Decades later — ennobled by love and strengthened by tragedy — they had transformed a wilderness into a fertile land. And themselves into The Australians.

Release date: September 13, 2022

Genres: LGBTQ+

Publisher's Summary:

Aufzeichnungen eines Irren / Erzählung von Nikolai Wassiljewitsch Gogol, gelesen von Werner Wilkening. Es ist die merkwürdige Geschichte des Titularrats Aksenti Iwanow Poprischtschin. Er ist ein kleiner, boshafter Beamter im Staatsdienst. Sein grauer Alltag lässt ihn jedoch zunehmend immer unglücklicher werden, sein Beruf ödet ihn an, unter seinem Chef und unter seiner Bedeutungslosigkeit leidet er. Hoffnungslos verliebt er sich in die Tochter seines Vorgesetzten und flieht schon bald in eine teuflische Scheinwelt. Der zu Beginn der Erzählung erlebte Eindruck eines gesunden Menschen wandelt sich zusehends in das Bild eines hoffnungslosen Phantasten und Verrückten. Während in seinen anfänglichen Phantastereien lediglich sprechende Hunde vorkommen, fällt der Protagonist im weiteren Verlauf seiner Krankheit in immer stärkere Wahnvorstellungen. Er liest in der Zeitung vom Tod des spanischen Königs Ferdinand VII., der ohne männlichen Thronfolger verstorben war, und verfällt in den Glauben, er selbst wäre der nächste spanische König. Zum Scheitern verurteilt, befindet er sich schließlich in einer ausweglosen Situation… Übersetzung aus dem Russischen: Alexander Eliasberg. Coverabbildung: unter Verwendung einer Kreidezeichnung (Ausschnitt) von Franz Karl Bühler: Selbstportrait (1919) aus der Sammlung: C. Prinzhorn Kollektion, Universitätshospital Heidelberg. Schlussmusik: Allegretto Tranquillo (Nr. 9) von Sergei Prokofjew. Coverschrift gesetzt aus der Elegant Typewriter. Der Sprecher: Werner Wilkening ist ein gestandener Sprecher mit weit mehr als 25 Jahren Erfahrung - nicht nur vor dem Mikrofon. Er bringt einiges an Bühnenerfahrung mit, ist oft in Film/Funk & Fernsehen aufgetreten und ist nun auch mit seiner unverkennbaren Stimme in zahllosen Hörbüchern des Verlages hoerbuchedition words and music zu erleben, zum Beispiel mit einer Auswahl der 'Lustigen Geschichten' von Anton Tschechow und bisher zwei Erzählungen von Nikolai W. Gogol 'Die Nase' und 'Die Geschichte vom großen Krakeel zwischen Iwan Iwanowitsch und Iwan Nikiforowitsch'. Mit den 'Aufzeichnungen eines Wahnsinnigen' liefert er nun eine weitere Kostprobe als kongenialer Gogol-Interpret.

Title: 1812: The Rivers of War

Series: #1 of Trail of Glory

Author: Eric Flint

Narrator: Franklin Pierson

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 22 hours 29 minutes

Release date: September 13, 2022

Genres: LGBTQ+

Publisher's Summary:

In this alternate history of the American frontier and the Jacksonian era, a small change takes place in the Battle of the Horseshoe Bend during the War of 1812. What results is a cascade of new developments that becomes an avalanche. In our world, Ensign Sam Houston, just turned 21, led the charge on the creek barricade in that battle and almost died from a terrible wound that took him a year to recover from. In this world, his wound is minor, so he is able to continue fighting the British—and develop his close relationship with Andrew Jackson much sooner. Along with a radical Scots-Irish immigrant in the U.S. Army, Patrick Driscoll—one of “the Men of ’98”—Houston organizes a defense of the U.S. Capitol that prevents the British from destroying it and makes him a national hero. He and Driscoll then play a central role in the defense of New Orleans under Jackson’s command. They change the course of that battle in ways that will, over time, transform the relationship between the United States, the Indian tribes of the south, and the slaves brought over from Africa.
