About this listen
Angelsachsen im 9. Jahrhundert
Bei einem brutalen Überfall der dänischen Wikinger auf ein angelsächsisches Dorf wird Thyra Danebod gefangen genommen. Voller Hass auf ihre Entführer lehnt Thyra sich gegen die brutalen und mordenden Nordmänner auf. Doch ihrem neuen Leben auf dem Wasser und dem Dänenhäuptling Gorm kann sie nicht entkommen. Thyra beginnt, die Sprache, die fremden Gebräuche und die Lebensart des Seefahrervolks zu verstehen. Auch Gorm kann sie immer mehr abgewinnen. Doch kann die Liebe einer Gefangenen zu einem groben Berserker bestehen?
Auf der abenteuerlichen Reise im Drachenboot lernt sie die Fremde kennen, und während die Nordmänner unerbittlich um Macht, Reichtum und Ehre streiten, kämpft Thyra für ihre Freiheit, Liebe und schließlich ihre eigene Identität. Gehört sie an die Seite ihrer Entführer oder an den Hof des angelsächsischen Königs Alfred des Großen?Ein packender und authentischer Roman, der die altnordische Sprache der Wikinger aufleben lässt und sich endlich den weniger beachteten Wikingerfrauen widmet. Gorm und Thyra begründen als erster König und erste, bis heute verehrte Königin den Aufstieg des dänischen Königreichs: die Jelling-Dynastie.

Story
The frontier was no place to hang your hat if you were a coward or weakling, and sometimes even the strong and brave fell victim to the violence that stalked the land and plagued this new and untamed country. Such was the case with Sheriff Joe Stone and his family. Joe was a man’s man from his narrow-brimmed hat down to his tarnished iron spurs. He had a hickory spine and anvils for fists. A lawman for over twenty-five years, Joe Stone split his time as a Texas ranger and sheriff, keeping law and order in frontier towns all over the Texas territory.

Two little girls stand with their heads bowed in my living room. I’m told they’re my granddaughters. Daisy is nine, and Alice seven. Daisy is the spitting image of her mother. This is the first time I’ve met them since my daughter and I fell out after she married that waste of space, Vince. They’ve come to live with me because their mother — my daughter — was murdered. In her own home while they slept close by. I think Vince killed her. But the police can’t prove it. I’ve always known he was no good. He treated my daughter like dirt. I said he’d cheat on her — but she wouldn’t listen.

He held my hand and gazed at the ring I liked best, a smile spreading slowly over his face. Then a glass of bubbly to celebrate. I felt flushed, excited and ready for the rest of my life with the man I loved. We race to get on the train home. It screams to a halt and I run towards its open doors. Made it. I think he’s right behind me — but when I turn around, he’s gone.

Academy Award nominee Rachel McAdams stars in Mary Jane, a poignant and intimate drama following a single mother’s journey caring for her chronically ill young son. Set in New York City, the play unfolds in two parts—Mary Jane's small Queens apartment and a pediatric hospital. With unflinching honesty and unexpected humor, we witness Mary Jane's tireless devotion, her interactions with medical professionals, and her struggle to maintain her sense of self.

Story
When Heather McKinley dreamed of becoming a doctor, she imagined curing sick kids and sporting pink stethoscopes. She never anticipated the sleepless nights, grueling exams, and endless labs. And she certainly never knew that her medical school earned the nickname Dead Med thanks to the tragic history of students overdosing on illegal drugs. But Heather would never consider doing anything like that. That is, until her longtime boyfriend dumps her, she finds herself failing anatomy, and her world starts to crumble.

Story
Lucas knows the perfect night entails just three things: video games, wine, and pad thai. Peanuts are a must! Other people? Not so much. Why complicate things when he’s happy alone? Then one day the apartment board, a vexing trio of authority, rings his doorbell. And Lucas’s solitude takes a startling hike. They demand to see his frying pan. Someone left one next to the recycling room overnight, and instead of removing the errant object, as Lucas suggests, they insist on finding the guilty party. But their plan backfires. Colossally.

Because everyone in the Mobile Infantry fights. And if the training doesn’t kill you, the Bugs are more than ready to finish the job.
