    Those Extraordinary Twins
    ABOUT THOSE EXTRAORDINARY TWINSFeaturing the brilliantly drawn Roxanna, a mulatto slave who suffers dire consequences after switching her infant son with her master's baby, and the clever Pudd'nhead Wilson, an ostracized small-town lawyer, Twain's darkly comic masterpiece is a provocative exploration of slavery and miscegenation. Leslie A. Fiedler described the novel as "half melodramatic detective story, half bleak tragedy," noting that "morally, it is one of the most honest books in our literature." Those Extraordinary Twins, the slapstick story that evolved into Pudd'nhead Wilson, provides a fascinating view of the author's process.The text for this paperback Classic was set from the 1894 first American edition.

    The Best of Car Talk, Lie, Lie, and Lie, March 21, 2015, Hörbuch, Digital, 54min
    This week on The Best of Car Talk, John’s car is a pigsty. As he prepares for a first date with a “classy woman," should he tidy it up or let her see him for the slob he truly is? Elsewhere, Barry had a numskull moment and drove his Blazer into a ditch. Now he can’t understand why the engine is running better post-submersion! Also, Chooch’s beloved Accord has become melodramatic; a black-light oil leak check is either too expensive or too psychedelic for Dorothea’s husband; and, Tom and Ray discover a new strategy for handling difficult callers—diagnosis by intimidation. All this and more, this week on The Best of Car Talk. [Broadcast Date: March 21, 2015] Language: English. Narrator: Tom Magliozzi, Ray Magliozzi.

    The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1835min
    The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby is closely modelled on the 18h-century novels that Charles Dickens loved as a child, such as Robinson Crusoe, in which the fortunes of a hero shape the plot. The likeable young Nicholas, left penniless on the death of his father, sets off in search of better prospects. His meandering route to happiness includes work as a teacher at Dotheboys Hall, where the brutal Wackford Squeers ill-treats his impoverished pupils, and a spell as an actor with the absurdly melodramatic Crummles troupe. Nicholas's many adventures give Dickens the freedom to follow the eccentricities of a vivid gallery of characters, exploring themes of class, love, and self-awareness with exuberant comedy and biting satire. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Simon Vance. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/tant/001767/bk_tant_001767_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    The Old Curiosity Shop , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1447min
    Like Charles Dickens' other early novels, The Old Curiosity Shop was a huge success, even eclipsing The Pickwick Papers. The melodramatic saga of the flight of Little Nell and her grandfather captured the public's attention, so much so that people would wait in long lines for the release of the next installment of the saga. For the character of Little Nell, the beautiful child thrown into a shadowy, terrifying world, Dickens drew on a tragedy in his own life, the death at the age of seventeen of his sister-in-law Mary Hogarth. "The desire to be buried next her is as strong upon me now ... and I know (for I don't think there ever was love like that I bear her) that it will never diminish," he would write, five years later. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Walter Covell. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/jimc/000035/bk_jimc_000035_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    Stage Fright , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 546min
    Aging theater actor Torald Werness' last curtain call is as a corpse. Murdered after his last performance in his last theatrical production, Minneapolis restaurateur-sleuth Jane Lawless finds his body onstage, impaled on a part of the set. Before long, a series of coincidences places Jane in the role of prime suspect. Determined to clear her name, Jane turns to her best friend, Cordelia, for help. Together, their intuition leads them to the dead man's family, a glamorous - and appropriately melodramatic - Midwestern theatrical dynasty. Jane and Cordelia must separate the theatrics from reality before Jane takes the blame for someone else's crime, and their search for the true killer uncovers a tangled and dangerous web of deceit. All in all, Stage Fright is another engaging, dynamic installment in Ellen Hart's award-winning series. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Aimee Jolson.
