Story4.5 out of 5 stars 94
This Audible production expertly brings to life Salman Rushdie’s postcolonial masterpiece Midnight’s Children, available for the first time unabridged in audio. Written in the magical-realist style that Rushdie is renowned for, Midnight’s Children follows Saleem Sinai - a child gifted with extraordinary powers after being born at the exact moment India becomes independent. The captivating events that unfold act as an allegory for India’s transition from colonialism to independence as Saleem finds himself 'handcuffed to history', with his fate entwined with that of his newly independent state.

Just before dawn one winter’s morning, a hijacked aeroplane blows apart high above the English Channel and two figures tumble, clutched in an embrace, towards the sea: Gibreel Farishta, India’s legendary movie star, and Saladin Chamcha, the man of a thousand voices. Washed up, alive, on an English beach, their survival is a miracle. But there is a price to pay. Gibreel and Saladin have been chosen as opponents in the eternal wrestling match between Good and Evil. But chosen by whom? And which is which? And what will be the outcome of their final confrontation?

In the wake of an insignificant battle between two long-forgotten kingdoms in fourteenth-century southern India, a nine-year-old girl has a divine encounter that will change the course of history. After witnessing the death of her mother, the grief-stricken Pampa Kampana becomes a vessel for the goddess Parvati, who begins to speak out of the girl's mouth. Granting her powers beyond Pampa Kampana's comprehension, the goddess tells her that she will be instrumental in the rise of a great city called Bisnaga - literally 'victory city' - the wonder of the world.

They say that the Thorn of Camorr can beat anyone in a fight. They say he steals from the rich and gives to the poor. They say he's part man, part myth, and mostly street-corner rumor. And they are wrong on every count. Only averagely tall, slender, and god-awful with a sword, Locke Lamora is the fabled Thorn, and the greatest weapons at his disposal are his wit and cunning. He steals from the rich - they're the only ones worth stealing from - but the poor can go steal for themselves.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 808
A superb novel set in classic Stephen King territory - a small new England town about to be engulfed by terror. Turn off the television - in fact, why don't you turn off all the lights except for the one over your favourite chair? - and we'll talk about vampires here in the dim. I think I can make you believe in them. Stephen King, from the introduction. Salem's Lot is a small New England town with the usual quota of gossips, drinkers, weirdos and respectable folk.

Story3.5 out of 5 stars 9
From one of the greatest writers of our time: a spellbinding, entertaining, wildly imaginative novel which blends history and myth with tremendous philosophical depth. A masterful, mesmerising modern tale about worlds dangerously colliding and the monsters that are unleashed when reason recedes and a beautiful testament to the power of love and humanity in chaotic times.

Südindien im 14. Jahrhundert: Die neunjährige Waise Pampa Kampana wird von der Göttin Parvati auserkoren, ihre menschliche Hülle und ihr Sprachrohr in die Welt zu sein. Im Auftrag der Göttin erschafft Pampa aus einer Handvoll Samen eine Stadt: Bisnaga – Victory City, das Wunder der Welt. All ihr Handeln beruht auf der großen Aufgabe, die ihr die Göttin gestellt hat: den Frauen in einer patriarchalen Welt eine gleichberechtigte Rolle zu geben. Aber die Schöpfungsgeschichte Bisnagas nimmt mehr und mehr ihren eigenen Lauf.
