Title: Chlorine: 'Entrances even as it unsettles' – Buzzfeed

Author: Jade Song

Narrator: Catherine Ho, Imani Parks

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 8 hours 8 minutes

Release date: July 6, 2023

Genres: Coming of Age

Publisher's Summary:

'This fantastically strange, explosive debut novel entrances even as it unsettles. It's so brilliantly written' BUZZFEED Ren Yu is a swimmer. Her daily life starts and ends with the pool. Her teammates are her only friends. Her coach, her guiding light. If she swims well enough, she will be scouted, get a scholarship, go to a good school. Her parents will love her. Her coach will be kind to her. She will have a good life. But these are human concerns. The concerns of those confined to land. Ren grew up on stories of creatures of the deep, of the oceans and the rivers. Stories that called sailors to their doom. Stories that dragged them down and drowned them. Stories of the creature that she's always longed to become: a mermaid. Ren aches to be in the water. She dreams of the scent of chlorine - the feel of it on her skin. And she will do anything she can to make a life for herself where she can be free. No matter the pain. No matter what anyone else thinks. No matter how much blood she has to spill. In the vein of The Pisces and The Vegetarian, Chlorine is a powerful, relevant tale of immigration, sapphic longing, and fierce, defiant becoming.

Title: [German] - Stefan Zweig: Vierundzwanzig Stunden aus dem Leben einer Frau

Author: Stefan Zweig

Narrator: Bettina Rossbacher

Format: Abridged Audiobook

Length: 2 hours 59 minutes

Release date: June 27, 2023

Genres: Coming of Age

Publisher's Summary:

Stefan Zweig: Vierundzwanzig Stunden aus dem Leben einer Frau, gelesen von Bettina Rossbacher. Der unbekannte Ich-Erzähler wohnt in einer kleinen Pension an der Riviera in der Nähe von Monte Carlo. Für große Aufregung sorgt eines Tages das Verschwinden eines weiblichen Gastes, einer Industriellengattin und Mutter zweier halbwüchsiger Töchter. Als sich herausstellt, dass sie mit einem charmanten jungen Mann durchgebrannt ist, entbrennt zwischen den anderen Gästen und dem Erzähler ein heftiger Streit, da dieser als einziger die Frau nicht verurteilt und vielmehr leidenschaftlich verteidigt. Erst das Einschreiten von Mrs. C., einer vornehmen älteren Dame, vermag die Wogen zu glätten. Was niemand ahnt: Auch im Leben der Mrs. C. gab es einen skandalösen Vorfall, der sie seit Jahrzehnten belastet. Unter vier Augen, in einer einzigartigen Aussprache, vertraut sie dem Erzähler schließlich ihr Geheimnis an: 24 Stunden aus ihrem Leben, die alles veränderten. Bettina Rossbacher liest diese Erzählung von Stefan Zweig so eindringlich, so meisterhaft und mit großartigem Gefühl für die Personen, das fast schon eine magische Anziehungskraft entsteht, der sich der Zuhörer kaum entziehen kann. 'Leidenschaft versus Moral: Zweigs Spezialität war die Psychologie der Ausnahmesituation - die bei ihm keine wirkliche Ausnahme ist, sondern eine Gelegenheit, die menschliche Verfassung in einem kurzen Zeitraum sich offenbaren zu lassen. Kaum je ist ihm das so meisterhaft gelungen wie in dieser kleinen Novelle von 1927, die er unter dem Eindruck eines Aufenthalts an der französischen Riviera schrieb.' (Katharina Döbler, RBB Kulturradio) 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. Die leicht gekürzte Hörbuchfassung folgt der deutschen Erstausgabe: Zuerst erschienen in 'Verwirrung der Gefühle', Leipzig: Insel-Verlag 1927.Covergestaltung: unter Verwendung eines Gemäldes (Ausschnitt) von Sir John Lavery (1856-1941) 'Girl in a Red Dress, Seated by a Swimming Pool', 1936 (oil on board), Location: Private collection. Anfangsmusik: Frédéric Chopin: Preludes, Op. 28 - No. 1 'Reunion', Pianist: Ivan Ilic; Schlussmusik:. Frédéric Chopin: Etude Op. 25 no. 1 in A flat major - 'Aeolian Harp / Shepherd Boy', Pianist: Donald Betts. Quelle: Musopen.org Coverschrift gesetzt aus der DejaVu Serif. Über die Sprecherin: Bettina Rossbacher, geb. in Salzburg, lebt im Wienerwald. Auf ein Kunstgeschichte-Studium und eine mehrjährige Tätigkeit für die Österreichische UNESCO-Kommission folgte eine Ausbildung zur Profisprecherin und Rezitatorin in Wien. Seit 2010 liegt ihr Arbeitsschwerpunkt auf der Gestaltung und Durchführung von Lesungen und literarischen Programmen, vielfach in Zusammenarbeit mit Musikerinnen und Komponisten, an verschiedensten kulturellen Veranstaltungsorten in Österreich; Auslandsauftritte führten sie bisher nach München, Paris, Kopenhagen, Tunis, Bratislava und Italien. Die intensive Beschäftigung mit Literatur und eine nuanciert ausgewogene Interpretation sind ihr auch als Hörbuchsprecherin und Produzentin von literarischen Videoporträts historischer Persönlichkeiten (Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach, Rose Ausländer u.a.) besonders wichtig. 2018 erschien bei hoerbuchedition words and music ihre Romanlesung 'Die Vergiftung' von Maria Lazar.

She wanted to start again. To be someone--anyone--different . . . Freedom. When Carleigh Stanger thought of college, that was the word that came to mind. Freedom from her unhappy home life. Freedom from high school mistakes. Freedom from the memory of that terrible morning. Only instead of bringing a sweet escape, Carleigh's first campus party traps her in the scornful gaze of the last person she wants to see, Tucker Green. It wasn't long ago that being close to Carleigh was everything Tucker wanted. But that was before he realized she was just another scheming girl who'd do whatever it took to get her way. Even lie to the guy she claimed to love. Unfortunately while Tucker's brain remembers the pain Carleigh caused, his body only remembers the pleasure . . .
