That is until he discovers his friend, Jess Bridges, is undercover in the commune, attempting to persuade a wayward young woman to leave the cult.

Title: [German] - Fenitschka

Author: Lou Andreas-Salomé

Narrator: Viola Gräfenstein

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 2 hours 29 minutes

Release date: September 18, 2020

Genres: Psychological

Publisher's Summary:

Fenitschka / Eine Erzählung von Lou Andreas-Salomé, gelesen von Viola Gräfenstein. In der Erzählung 'Fenitschka' setzt sich Lou Andreas-Salomé, mit der auch für sie sehr bedeutsamen Problematik von Ehe und dem Bedürfnis nach weiblicher Selbstentfaltung im Kontext des damaligen Frauenbildes auseinander. Die Autorin schrieb diese Novelle um 1900, nach einem langen Aufenthalt in Paris. Deutlich erkennen wir in dieser Geschichte autobiographische Züge. Es geht um eine junge Russin, die nach einem langen Studium endlich zu leben beginnt und nun versucht, das Wesen der Liebe zu ergründen. In einer heimlichen Romanze meint sie, dieses Ideal endlich gefunden zu haben. Als aber die Romanze langsam aufgedeckt wird, werden ihr die Lügen und Heimlichkeiten zur Qual, und als der Geliebte gar versucht, sie mit Hilfe eines Heiratsantrages offiziell an sich zu binden, wird ihr die Natur dieser Liebe plötzlich offenbar, und, vor sich selbst erschreckend, flieht sie. Feinfühlig und detailliert veranschaulicht die Autorin das Schicksal dieser jungen Frau, ihren emotionalen und zwischenmenschlichen Konflikt im Spannungsfeld von Liebe und Rollenzwang. Sie war ihrer Zeit weit voraus wurde auf ihrem Lebensweg nicht nur von großen Denkern wie Rainer Maria Rilke, Sigmund Freud und Friedrich Nietzsche umworben, sondern beeinflusste diese auch entscheidend in ihrem Schaffen. Als Femme Fatale wider Willen erkämpfte sie sich Freiheit und Unabhängigkeit in einer Zeit, in der die wilde Ehe noch mit Gefängnis bestraft wurde. Lou Andreas-Salomés Text ist eine literarische kunstvoll inszenierte und philosophisch akzentuierte Gesellschaftsstudie, die einen sachlichen und facettenreichen Einblick in das Seelenleben einer emanzipierten Frau zur Zeit der Jahrhundertwende ermöglicht. Sie stellt die Frage nach dem Wesen der Liebe, die heute noch genauso schwierig zu beantworten ist wie damals. Obwohl die Erzählung vor über 120 Jahren geschrieben wurde, wirkt sie geradezu beunruhigend aktuell. Selbst in Zeiten eines angestrebten ausgeglichenen Geschlechterverhältnisses berührt uns die Geschichte dieser ungewöhnlichen Frau, die ganz bei sich ist und es dennoch nicht sein darf. Die Reihe words&music/audiolab verbindet ausgewählte literarische Texte aus aller Welt mit emotionaler Musik. Es entstehen - vielleicht bisher ungeahnte -Zugänge zum Textverständnis oder eröffnen im Zusammenspiel zwischen Inhalt, Klang und Form ganz neue Möglichkeiten des eigenen genussvollen Hörerlebens.

Title: The Caretaker

Author: Doon Arbus

Narrator: Alan Cumming

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 4 hours 31 minutes

Release date: September 15, 2020

Genres: Psychological

Publisher's Summary:

Following the death of a renowned and eccentric collector—author of Stuff, a seminal philosophical work on the art of accumulation—the fate of the privately endowed museum he cherished falls to a peripatetic stranger who had been his fervent admirer. This peculiar institution (the Society for the Preservation of the Legacy of Dr. Charles Alexander Morgan) is dedicated to the annihilation of hierarchy. A priceless Dürer and other peerless antiquities commune happily with a toothbrush, a plastic coffee cup lid, and the rest of the ignored, the discarded, the undervalued and the valueless. The caretaker, a restless devotee of Dr. Morgan’s work, believes he has landed the job of his dreams. But as the years go by and the lines of identity begin to blur, the caretaker learns he must pay a terrible price to inhabit Morgan’s home, his history, and the remnants of his life. The Caretaker is a profound, probing novel with the momentum and tension of a thriller and is, in the words of Publishers Weekly, an “unnerving feat of contemporary postmodernism.”
