Imagine you’re listening to the acclaimed WWII melodrama, Casablanca. But instead of Rick’s café in Vichy-occupied North Africa, you’re in the South Pacific, trapped on Truk Lagoon – island stronghold of the Japanese. Well, that’s exactly where this romantic World War II audiobook, Red House Rising, begins its story. It’s July, 1941. War is already raging in Europe. Japan has swallowed up Korea, and now terrorizes China. Pearl Harbor is about to explode. And three women, an ace transport pilot, a Chinese Intelligence officer and a local Island leader, must join forces to rescue young girls sexually enslaved by the Japanese Navy and its ruthless secret police, the Tokkeitai. As World War Two roils the Pacific, the story continues in the islands, in Hawaii, in China and Japan. There’s flying and spying and action galore. And the story calls out the fascism, racism and misogyny of that dark time. But this audiobook is most definitely about lovers – star-crossed or otherwise – finding their way in a world at war.

La cama 29

Cuando el capitán Epivent pasaba por la calle, todas las mujeres se volvían. Era el auténtico prototipo del gallardo oficial de húsares. Por ello se exhibía pavoneándose siempre, orgulloso y atento a sus piernas, a su cintura y a su bigote.

Consider Your Ways

South Sanford only has one point of entry and one point of exit... Trapped inside of South Sanford are poverty, corruption, media lies, and a human trafficking ring the city who live there are blamed for yet victims of. Nevertheless, ebony bombshell Shatima Thomas feels she's been led there by her spiritual guides to unite with the family she was separated from after her father was murdered by the police. In five years, all she's been met with are the desires of men and crooked cops who want to use her to get them locked up. Men are the last thing on her mind. She's too busy trying to protect her son from the abusive ex who got her pregnant and has been stalking her since. As he steps out of the shadows, she fears he has connections to her city's dark circumstances that she may not be able to shield her son from alone. For Rahshaan Bailey, life is just something to do until he dies. Known on the streets as 'Banger,' his only goals are to find the son who was taken from him, and to get the pretty girl in his building to give him a chance. When he finds out he has a connection to her that goes beyond the lust he feels for the ebony bombshell, he makes it his life's mission to protect her and her son from whatever she's up against. If only she'll tell him what it is...

The Tree of Strife: A BBC Radio 4 Icelandic Saga full-cast dramatisation

An epic BBC historical drama based on Iceland's famous saga of tragedy, heroism and fate Written by an anonymous storyteller in the 13th Century, and describing events between 960 and 1020, Njáls saga is one of the great works of medieval literature. The longest and most celebrated of the Icelandic sagas, it deals with family honour, vengeance, and a vicious blood feud spanning almost 50 years. Based on the classic translation by Magnus Magnusson and Hermann Pálsson, this gripping dramatisation centres around two friends - the wise, learned Njal, and the brave warrior Gunnar. Gifted with the ability to see into the future, Njal can foretell his own death - but he is powerless to stunt the growth of the tree of strife that flourishes after Gunnar's betrothal to Hallgerd with the thief's eyes. Embroiled in his wife's intrigues, Gunnar is caught in a cycle of killings and revenge - and as Njal's sons are drawn into this web of violence, tragedy ensues. Bound by ties of blood, and unable to escape their destiny, Gunnar, Njal, and their descendants seem doomed to an endless vendetta. Even the coming of a new faith, Christianity, fails to halt the conflict- and as brother turns upon brother, will peace ever be restored? Adapted by veteran dramatist David Wade, this gripping tale vividly evokes Iceland's heroic age. Thronged with action, passion, power struggles and prophetic dreams, it features a host of vividly-drawn characters, and stars Bernard Hepton as Njal, Struan Rodger as Gunnar and Maureen O'Brien as Hallgerd.

Onkel Toms Hütte - neu erzählt

Mit ihrem Roman über den afroamerikanischen Leibeigenen Onkel Tom wandte sich Harriet Beecher Stowe Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts gezielt gegen die Sklavenhalter in den Südstaaten. 'Onkel Toms Hütte' erschien zunächst von Juni 1851 bis April 1852 in vierzig Kapiteln in 'The National Era', einer meinungsstarken Zeitschrift der Abolitionisten. Die eindrucksvolle Darstellung der Leiden der Unterdrückten, die auf den Memoiren des mithilfe der Underground Railroad nach Kanada geflüchteten ehemaligen Sklaven Josiah Henson beruhten, verschaffte dem Text nicht nur ein breites Publikum, der Roman wurde auch zu einer Streitschrift im Amerikanischen Bürgerkrieg. Er provozierte etwa zwei Dutzend 'Anti-Onkel-Tom-Romane'. Abraham Lincoln soll anlässlich eines Treffens 1862 gesagt haben: 'Sie sind also die kleine Frau, deren Buch diesen großen Krieg verursacht hat.'
