Title: Wage Slave Author: Zachary Phillips Narrator: Zachary Phillips Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 1 hour 37 minutes Release date: March 14, 2023 Genres: Comedy, Satire & Parody Publisher's Summary: As children we can’t help but dream of all of the amazing things that we will accomplish. Then life happens. We get a job, we get a house, and we get into debt. We settle. We trade away our youth, for security in old age. We spend countless hours performing mundane tasks that leave us depleted and empty. Our souls crave meaning, but we are too afraid to make any change. We work for the weekend. Work for the holidays. Work for retirement. We live to work, rather than working to live. Through sardonic humour, Wage Slave highlights the absurdity of the modern approach to work and life.

Title: Eric: (Discworld Novel 9) Series: #9 of Discworld Novels Author: Terry Pratchett Narrator: Colin Morgan, Peter Serafinowicz, Bill Nighy Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 58 minutes Release date: July 7, 2022 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.3 of Total 10 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 3 Genres: Comedy, Satire & Parody Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. The audiobook of Eric is read by Colin Morgan (Merlin; Testament of Youth; Belfast). BAFTA and Golden Globe award-winning actor Bill Nighy (Love Actually; Pirates of the Caribbean; Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows) reads the footnotes, and Peter Serafinowicz (Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace; Shaun of the Dead) stars as the voice of Death. Featuring a new theme tune composed by James Hannigan. Eric is the Discworld's only demonology hacker. Pity he's not very good at it. All he wants is his three wishes granted. Nothing fancy - to be immortal, rule the world, have the most beautiful woman in the world fall madly in love with him, the usual stuff. But instead of a tractable demon, he calls up Rincewind, probably the most incompetent wizard in the universe, and the extremely intractable and hostile form of travel accessory known as the Luggage. With them on his side, Eric's in for a ride through space and time that is bound to make him wish (quite fervently) again - this time that he'd never been born. Eric is the fourth book in the Wizards series, but you can listen to the Discworld novels in any order. The first book in the Discworld series - The Colour of Magic - was published in 1983. Some elements of the Discworld universe may reflect this. © Terry and Lyn Pratchett 1990 (P) Penguin Audio 2022

Afortunadamente para nosotros, el autor sueco más reconocido e interesante de nuestros tiempos, Fredrik Backman (Un hombre llamado Ove, Gente ansiosa, Britt-Marie estuvo aquí), nos alumbra el camino con anécdotas personales tan graciosas como enternecedoras. A mi hijo: Quiero pedirte disculpas por todo lo que haré durante más o menos los próximos dieciocho años. Pero, cuando me ponga difícil, cuando me comporte de forma bochornosa, o arbitraria o injusta contigo, quiero que recuerdes bien aquel día que te negaste a decirme dónde diablos habías escondido las malditas llaves del coche. Entonces, quiero que recuerdes que fuiste tú quien lo empezó todo. —Tu papá. Cosas que mi hijo necesita saber sobre el mundo abarca las preocupaciones, situaciones y temáticas de la paternidad de forma lúdica y sensible como pocos saben hacerlo. Una invitación honesta y conmovedora a celebrar los altibajos y el camino imperfecto de la paternidad. FREDRIK BACKMAN es autor de nueve libros, entre ellos el bestseller internacional Un hombre llamado Ove, cuya versión cinematográfica fue candidata a dos Óscar, y Gente ansiosa, una futura serie en Netflix. Sus obras han sido traducidas a cuarenta y seis idiomas. Backman vive en Estocolmo con su esposa y sus dos hijos.

Title: [German] - Das Gespenst von Canterville Author: Oscar Wilde Narrator: Oliver Rohrbeck Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 1 hour 16 minutes Release date: December 1, 2021 Genres: Comedy, Satire & Parody Publisher's Summary: Das Leben als Gespenst ist kein leichtes ...Als wäre es nicht genug, auf ewig in alten Gemäuern festzusitzen und dazu verdammt zu sein, mit Ketten zu rasseln, Teppichen mit Blutflecken zu besudeln und allerlei anderen Schabernack zu treiben. Als die sehr moderne und so gar nicht ängstliche Familie des amerikanischen Botschafters Hiram B. Otis nach auf Canterville einzieht, wird das Leben für Hausgeist Sir Simon zur Hölle. Schnell wird er selbst zum verzweifelten Opfer von Stolperfäden, Butterfallen und Gespensteratrappen und herunterstürzenden Wasserkrügen. Kurzum: Sir Simon steht am Rande des Nervenzusammenbruchs. Einzig die Virginia, Tochter des Botschafters, zeigt Verständnis und wird am Ende sogar zum Schlüssel für seine Erlösung. Oscar Wildes Klassiker begeistert Jung und Alt seit Generationen. In dieser Lesung nimmt sich 'Drei ???'-Sprecher Oliver Rohrbeck der Familie Otis und dem Schicksal Sir Simons an. Da ist der Schmunzelfaktor besonders groß.-
