Title: Nives Author: Sacha Naspini Narrator: Lesa Lockford Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 35 minutes Release date: August 24, 2021 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: Meet Nives: widow, Tuscan through-and-through, survivor. Nives recently lost her husband of fifty years. She didn’t cry when she found him dead in the pig pen, and she didn’t cry at the funeral, but now loneliness has set in. When she decides to bring her favorite chicken inside for company, she is shocked, confused, and a little bit guilty to discover that the chicken’s company is a more-than-adequate replacement for her dead husband. But one day, Giacomina goes stiff in front of the tv. Unable to rouse the paralyzed chicken, Nives has no choice but to call the town veterinarian, Loriano Bottai, an old acquaintance of hers. What follows is a phone call that seems to last a lifetime, a phone call that becomes a novel. Their conversation veers from the chicken to the past—to the life they once shared, the secrets they never had the courage to reveal, wounds that never healed. This novel reverberates with the kinds of stories we tell ourselves at night when we cannot sleep: stories of love lost, of abandonment, of silent and heart-breaking nostalgia, of joy and laughter and despair. With delicate yet sharp prose and raw, astonishing honesty, Sacha Naspini bravely explores the core of our shared humanity.

Title: Sundog Author: Jim Harrison Narrator: Traber Burns, Christian Baskous Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 58 minutes Release date: April 13, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 3 of Total 2 Ratings of Narrator: 2 of Total 1 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: The New York Times bestselling author of numerous books of fiction, nonfiction, and poetry, including Legends of the Fall, Dalva, and Returning to Earth, Jim Harrison was one of our most beloved and acclaimed writers, adored by both readers and critics. Sundog is a powerful novel about the life and loves of a foreman named Robert Corvus Strang, who worked on giant dam projects around the world until he was crippled in a fall down a three-hundred-foot dam. Now as he tries to regain use of his legs, he has a chance to reassess his life, and a blasé journalist who has heard of Strang’s reputation in the field arrives to draw him out about his various incarnations. Strang, who has the violently heightened sensibilities of a man who has gone to the limits and back, recounts his monumental life moving from Michigan to Africa and the Amazon, including his several marriages, his children, and dozens of lovers. Sundog is a story as true and gripping as real life, and ultimately as victorious.

Title: [Spanish] - El coronel no tiene quien le escriba Author: Gabriel García Márquez Narrator: Carlos Canales Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 8 minutes Release date: April 13, 2021 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: El coronel no tiene quien le escriba fue escrita por Gabriel García Márquez durante su estancia en París, adonde había llegado como corresponsal de prensa y con la secreta intención de estudiar cine, a mediados de los años cincuenta. El cierre del periódico para el que trabajaba le sumió en la pobreza, mientras redactaba en tres versiones distintas esta excepcional novela, que fue rechazada por varios editores antes de su publicación. Tras el barroquismo faulkneriano de La hojarasca, esta segunda novela supone un paso hacia la ascesis, hacia la economía expresiva, y el estilo del escritor se hace más puro y transparente. Se trata también de una historia de injusticia y violencia: un viejo coronel retirado va al puerto todos los viernes a esperar la llegada de la carta oficial que responda a la justa reclamación de sus derechos por los servicios prestados a la patria. Pero la patria permanece muda.

In fünf Expeditionen auf der norwegischen Eismeerinsel Spitzbergen erlebte er die Schönheit der Polarlandschaft, aber auch ihre Tücke und ihre Gefahren. 1983 erreichte er als erster Deutscher die Nordspitze Spitzbergens über das Inlandeis. - Ein Trip, bei dem er irgendwann vor Erschöpfung zu halluzinieren begann. In seiner dramatischen Erzählung 'Mortens langer Marsch' verbindet Späth eigene Erlebnisse am Polarkreis mit der literarischen Gestalt eines Inselbewohners, der bei der Fahrt über das Packeis über seine vom Scheitern bedrohte Ehe sinniert und dadurch unversehens in eine akut lebensgefährliche Situation gerät. Die Arktis verzeiht keine Unachtsamkeiten ...
