Slanted: How an Asian American Troublemaker Took on the Supreme Court , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 492min

When Simon Tam started an Asian American dance rock band called The Slants, he didn't realize that he was starting an entire movement around freedom of expression and discussions on identity. The band flipped stereotypes with their bombastic live shows and community activism. But when Simon applied to register a trademark on the band's name, the government dragged him all the way to the Supreme Court of the United States.Slanted is the story of an indomitable spirit who so believes in the idea of justice that he's willing to risk everything along the way for the dignity of self-identity. Simon shares a deeply personal account that will take you from anime conventions to the Supreme Court, all in the name of justice. The story provides a raw look at our legal system with unflinching honesty and offers timely insights on freedom of speech, how to connect with others we disagree with, and the power of music.Gripping, funny, enlightening, and ultimately uplifting, Slanted proves that no obstacle is too difficult to conquer - as long as you have a little heart and a lot of rock n' roll. It's an irrepressible story that is fresh, alive, and defines what it means to be American. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Simon Tam.

The Lost World , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 558min

Edward Malone, an enthusiastic and ambitious columnist for the Daily Gazette, is urged by the woman he loves to undertake a heroic deed so that he may earn her love in return. In a few weeks, he is bound for the shores of South America in the company of the irascible academic Summerlee and debonair adventurer Lord John Roxton on an expedition to prove the claims of bombastic genius Professor Challenger. The professor has allegedly discovered an isolated prehistoric land on top of a huge mountain in the tropical rain forests of the Amazonian jungle, and after many trials and tribulations they are at last on the mysterious summit of these craggy cliffs - without any obvious means of returning. The explorers need to draw on all their reserves of courage and strength as they are plunged into a nightmare world of prehistoric monsters, aggressive apemen and the Accala Indians, a tribe of bloodthirsty cave dwellers - not to mention betrayal by their own servants and the scepticism and disdain of the international scientific community. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle demonstrates the full range of his skills in this masterful story of mystery, suspense and adventure: the original scary tale of dinosaurs that still thrills and entertains. ungekürzt.

Screaming at Shapes, Hörbuch, Digital, 41min, (USK 18)

Alex Elkin is a serious jokester and Screaming at Shapes, his latest comedy release, is serious fun. Alex, winner of the 2016 San Francisco Comedy Competition, is 100% committed to making you laugh. He's bombastic and forthright, ironically abrasive, provocative and witty. Fearless, energetic, diving into characters, tackling taboos and hot button topics, Alex Elkin is an emphatic and versatile performer. Screaming at Shapes shines as Alex highlights his domestic life and his travels overseas to entertain the military. His grievances against puberty, obnoxious pet owners, nosy children, and his epiphanies about bidets and transgender people, are all rendered in highly-detailed hilarity. Alex Elkin has had it with outrage culture. Alex doesn't take things too seriously, or too personally (and doesn't think you should either). Screaming at Shapes advocates that people making fun of each other is a key to bringing them together. Alex isn't afraid to challenge what is and what's not socially acceptable - even if it lands him in Facebook jail. The burly, gregarious, larger-than-life comedian with even longer hair practices what he preaches, making light of himself with perfect, self-deprecating comedy. Boasting flowing locks and brilliant shock, Screaming at Shapes encourages you to let your hair down. Language: English. Narrator: Alex Elkin.

The History of Rome, Volume 1, Books 1 - 5 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1096min

When Livy began his epic The History of Rome, he had no idea of the fame and fortune he would eventually attain. He would go on to become the most widely read writer in the Roman Empire and was eagerly sought out and feted like a modern celebrity. And his fame continued to grow after his death. His bombastic style, his intricate and complex sentence structure, and his flair for powerfully recreating the searing drama of historical incidents made him a favorite of teachers and pupils alike. Along with Virgil and Cicero, Livy formed the Latin triumvirate of essential studies for two thousand years. Hardly anyone who was educated was unaware of at least some of the more famous stories of Roman myth and history as told by Titus Livius. When completed, Livy's magnificent work consisted of 142 books (i.e. long chapters), and covered the period from the mythical founding of Rome through the time of Augustus. Books 1–10 and 21–45 are all that have come down to us in reasonably complete form. Volume 1 consists of books 1–5, which takes us from the founding of Rome in the eighth century BC to its sack by the Gauls in 390 BC. The Audio Connoisseur series will eventually come to six volumes.This version was translated by Roberts. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Charlton Griffin.

The Devil's Gap: The Untold Story of Canada's First Suicide Bomber , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 272min

The scene on May 10, 1973, seemed like something out of a Hollywood blockbuster. In the town of Kenora, on the north shore of the Lake of the Woods near the Ontario-Manitoba border, a man was robbing a bank in the most bombastic way. Paul Higgins walked into the bank armed with a homemade bomb and a dead man’s switch in his mouth to detonate it. If anyone were to shoot him and he let go of the switch, he would blow himself up and take as many people with him as possible. The police were in a standoff. Was it worth the risk to shoot? Acclaimed journalist Joe Ralko has spent his entire life mulling over this case. It wasn’t his career that put him on the trail of Paul Higgins - Joe was there! He was a curious high school student who watched the drama unfold from the street. He had a clear line of sight down the sidewalk as Higgins emerged from the bank 50 feet away. What happened next would go down in Canadian history. Ralko would become fascinated with every aspect of the case. It was only years later, after he had established himself as a writer and while recovering from his first battle with cancer, that he decided to finally tell the story. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Up Till Now, Hörbuch, Digital, 368min

William Shatner gets the joke about William Shatner. In fact, most of the time he's the one telling it. His self-effacing attitude, so perfectly parodied in the bombastic character he now plays on Boston Legal, Denny Crane, is one of the reasons for his huge popularity. While best known for his creation of Captain James T. Kirk, commander of the starship Enterprise on Star Trek, William Shatner has been a working actor for more than half a century. He has experienced all the ups (the awards and acclaim) and the downs (having to live for a time in the truck bed of his camper when he couldn't get work) that are a part of the actor's world. In Up Till Now he tells us about his remarkable life, from training as a Shakespearan actor under Sir Tyrone Guthrie to his time on Broadway, his movie career, and, of course, his successful tv series. He has worked with an extraordinary range of actors, among them Spencer Tracy, Burt Lancaster, Marlene Dietrich, Judy Garland, Walter Matthau, Sandra Bullock, Ben Stiller, and Robert DeNiro. He also writes, with glee, about some of his less successful ventures, including Incubus, the only feature ever made entirely in Esperanto. As funny, charming, and self-deprecating as the man himself, this book will delight his many fans of all ages. Language: English. Narrator: William Shatner.

Sarong Party Girls: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 679min

A brilliant and utterly engaging novel - Emma set in modern Asia - about a young woman's rise in the glitzy, moneyed city of Singapore, where old traditions clash with heady modern materialism. On the edge of 27, Jazzy hatches a plan for her and her best girlfriends, Sher, Imo, and Fann. Before the year is out, these Sarong Party Girls will all have spectacular weddings to rich ang moh - Western expat - husbands, with Chanel babies (the cutest status symbols of all) quickly to follow. Razor-sharp, spunky, and vulgarly brand-obsessed, Jazzy is a determined woman who doesn't lose. As she fervently pursues her quest to find a white husband, this bombastic yet tenderly vulnerable gold digger reveals the contentious gender politics and class tensions thrumming beneath the shiny exterior of Singapore's glamorous nightclubs and busy streets, its grubby wet markets and seedy hawker centers. Moving through her colorful, stratified world, she realizes she cannot ignore the troubling incongruity of new money and old-world attitudes that threaten to crush her dreams. Desperate to move up in Asia's financial and international capital, will Jazzy and her friends succeed? Vividly told in Singlish - colorful Singaporean English, with its distinctive cadence and slang - Sarong Party Girls brilliantly captures the unique voice of this young, striving woman caught between worlds. With remarkable vibrancy and empathy, Cheryl Tan brings not only Jazzy but her city of Singapore to dazzling, dizzying life. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Angela Lin.
