Title: [German] - Königsgemahlin Camilla - Die Biografie: Camilla und Charles: von der Ehe zu dritt bis zur Heirat ins britische Königshaus. Das Leben von Herzogin Camilla. Ein Buch für Royal Fans Author: Angela Levin Narrator: Sanja Nowara Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 8 minutes Release date: September 27, 2023 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Der unerwartete Tod von Königin Elizabeth II. erschütterte die Welt. Nun hat Charles III. den Thron bestiegen, ihm zur Seite Gemahlin Camilla. Doch wer ist diese Frau, die den neuen Monarchen schon seit über 50 Jahren kennt und die so lange auf ihn wartete? Die Adelsexpertin Angela Levin pflegt ein enges Vertrauensverhältnis zu Camilla und zeigt nun den Menschen hinter dem vermeintlich blassen Image. Sie beschreibt eine Frau, die aufgrund höfischer Konventionen viele Jahre lange im Abseits stand. Doch 2005 heiratete sie trotz aller Widrigkeiten und Anfeindungen endlich die Liebe ihres Lebens. Seitdem ist Camilla nicht nur Ruhepol und Beraterin von Charles, sondern auch eine leise Revolutionärin, die das Bild der Royals durch ihre Weltoffenheit bereits maßgeblich verändert hat. Neben karitativen Veranstaltungen und aktiven Beiträgen zur Rolle der »neuen Frau« sind ihre Herzenswärme und Nahbarkeit wichtige Charakterzüge, die das Königshaus im 21. Jahrhundert neu legitimieren werden. Ein stilvolles und authentisches Porträt.

Title: The Canyon Wren Author: Martín Prechtel Narrator: Martín Prechtel Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 45 minutes Release date: September 26, 2023 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: The Canyon Wren is the continuation and beautiful punchline of the full tale of Martín Prechtel’s trilogy, The Story of My Horses, and picks up right where The Wild Rose leaves off. The Wild Rose ends with the dramatic Barn Fire Incident in which the author and his steady new young Barb stallion, Punk, pull a flame stunned mare out of a burning barn just seconds before the whole burning structure collapses, then together they both drive straight out of that book and into a new life in the next book. This third book in the trilogy brings the story far away from all those troubled times, ins and outs, and hardships and betrayals involved in the author’s effort to gather up those old style Indian Ponies of his youth, and heads us back out into the wild land and the beauty of ranchito New Mexico, where as an integral part of the lives of his new family, their family herd of rare Spanish/Native New Mexico horses play out a series of unexpected peculiarities and surprising horse antics that push the envelope of what mainstream culture has come to assume defines horses and the people that have them. If the first book, The Mare and the Mouse, is like finding a closed treasure chest, and the second book, The Wild Rose, is the retrieval of the lost keys to that chest, then The Canyon Wren is the treasure itself. 'If this book doesn't make you want to ride, talk to animals, eat well, and close the angry, slack-jaw and shamelessly jump up and try to kiss the sky, then I've failed, but I will always try again. Everyone wants life to be simple, but a simple life cannot be lived in a simple way: it takes a lot of simple skills. To see the humor and beauty in the world is one of those skills.' The vision in this book is simply beautiful.

Title: Feral: Losing Myself and Finding My Way in America’s National Parks Author: Emily Pennington Narrator: Emily Pennington Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 18 minutes Release date: February 1, 2023 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: A bracing memoir about self-discovery, liberating escape, and moving forward across an adventurous and volatile American landscape. One year. One national park at a time. This is it. No more California. I’m sifting into the underbelly of where the nomads go. After a decade as an assistant to high-powered LA executives, Emily Pennington left behind her structured life and surrendered to the pull of the great outdoors. With a tight budget, meticulous routing, and a temperamental minivan she named Gizmo, Emily embarked on a yearlong road trip to sixty-two national parks, hell-bent on a single goal: getting through the adventure in one piece. She was instantly thrust into more chaos than she’d bargained for and found herself on an unpredictable journey rocked by a gutting romantic breakup, a burgeoning pandemic, wildfires, and other seismic challenges that threatened her safety, her sanity, and the trip itself. What began as an intrepid obsession soon evolved into a life-changing experience. Navigating the tangle of life’s unexpected sucker punches, Feral invites readers along on Emily’s grand, blissful, and sometimes perilous journey, where solitude, resilience, self-reliance, and personal transformation run wild.

Solange sie sich zurückerinnern kann, lebt Franzi mit Angststörungen, später kam die Diagnose Borderline dazu. Wovor sie sich nicht fürchtet, ist, sich verletzlich zu zeigen. Die Autorin gibt nicht nur Einblicke in ihre eigene Geschichte, sondern bricht auch mit dem Stigma psychischer Krankheiten und legt schockierende Missstände in unserem psychiatrischen System offen.Wer den Instagram-Account von Franziska Elea besucht, sieht Bilder einer schönen jungen Frau: Sie trägt hübsche Kleider, führt eine glückliche Beziehung, zeigt sich verträumt in Blumenfeldern oder lachend am Urlaubsstrand – und über 200.000 Leute schauen ihr dabei zu. Doch kaum jemand weiß, was sich hinter der nur scheinbar perfekten Fassade verbirgt:Eine Kindheit und Jugend, die von emotionaler Vernachlässigung geprägt war, mehrere stationäre Therapie-Aufenthalte, der Wunsch, einem perspektivlosen Umfeld zu entfliehen, in dem Franzi immer die Aussätzige war. Sie gibt Einblicke in die Ursachen ihrer Krankheitsgeschichte, schildert ihre Erfahrungen in der Psychiatrie, die lange Suche nach wirklicher Hilfe und schließlich ihren Weg zur erfolgreichen Influencerin. Aufklärung im Bezug auf die komplexe Persönlichkeitsstörung Borderline liegt der Autorin ebenso am Herzen wie ein Appell an alle Hörer*innen: Über psychische Erkrankungen zu sprechen darf kein Tabu mehr sein und sich therapeutische Unterstützung zu suchen ist keine Schande.-

Title: Local: A Memoir Author: Jessica Machado Narrator: Mapuana Makia Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 54 minutes Release date: January 1, 2023 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: A powerful, lush memoir about a Hawaiian woman who ran away from paradise to discover who she is and where she belongs. Born and raised in Hawai‘i by a father whose ancestors are indigenous to the land and a mother from the American South, Jessica Machado wrestles with what it means to be “local.” Feeling separate from the history and tenets of Hawaiian culture that have been buried under the continental imports of malls and MTV, Jessica often sees her homeland reflected back to her from the tourist perspective—as an uncomplicated paradise. Her existence, however, feels far from that ideal. Balancing her parents’ divorce, an ailing mother, and growing anxiety, Jessica rebels. She moves to Los Angeles, convinced she’ll leave her complicated family behind and define herself. Instead, her isolation only becomes more severe, and her dying mother follows her to California. For Jessica, the only way to escape is a reckless downward spiral. Interwoven with a rich and nuanced exploration of Hawaiian history and traditions, Local is a personal and moving narrative about family, grief, and reconnecting to the land she tried to leave behind.
