Title: Man v Nature Author: Diane Cook Narrator: Bronson Pinchot, Hillary Huber Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 54 minutes Release date: January 21, 2021 Genres: Short Stories Publisher's Summary: Shortlisted for the Guardian First Book Award Told with perfect rhythm and unyielding brutality, these stories expose unsuspecting men and women to the realities of nature, the primal instincts of man and the dark humour and heartbreak of our struggle to not only thrive, but survive. In Girl on Girl , a high-school girl goes to disturbing lengths to help an old friend; in Meteorologist Dave Santana , an insatiable temptress pursues the one man she can't have; and in the title story, a long fraught relationship comes undone when three friends get impossibly lost on a lake that is impossible to get lost on. In Diane Cook s perilous worlds, the quotidian surfaces conceal darkly surreal elements that illuminate our more curious, troubling and bewildering behaviour. “Sharply written and imaginative...Cook is an accomplished writer with a darkly comic touch...As with the short fiction of Stephen King and Miranda July, many of the bizarre tales in Man V. Nature would make for excellent viewing...brilliant...echoes of Margaret Atwood.” IRISH TIMES “A deeply original collection...deliciously unsettling...downright chilling...uncomfortably resonant.” INDEPENDENT “Exhilarating… quirky, often edged with menace… understated dystopia… Cook's is a fresh and vivid voice; it's unsurprising the likes of Miranda July and Roxane Gay are fans.” OBSERVER “Masterly.” NEW YORK TIMES

Title: [Catalan] - Un altre got d´absenta Author: Tina Vallès Narrator: Sonia Román Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 1 minute Release date: August 11, 2020 Genres: Short Stories Publisher's Summary: Tot canvia després d’un altre got d’absenta. Deixes el got damunt la taula, mires per la finestra i tens temps de veure una línia de llum que recorre fugaçment el carrer, il·lumina per un instant la roba estesa en un balcó i es clava al portal de casa. Darrere dels vidres encesos endevines les siluetes dels Nohisom, que es deixen engolir per la fosca de l’escala. Ara passen les cosines Tonell, que corren cap al teatre aferrades a la bossa. Madona Quèlonia, la més vella del barri, escura les seves eternes escopinyes. I sempre aquesta llum que projecta clarobscurs en tots els rostres que troba, tots anònims i alhora protagonistes del dia a dia. Què els passa pel cap? Quines penes els afligeixen? Quines secretes alegries? Per què no riu mai el cambrer Zero? En Borris Sol esgarrapa la guitarra i en treu una cançó d’amor que només el seu germà valorarà com cal. Les persianes del senyor Búnquer ho vigilen tot. La llum declina. - Tina Vallès (Barcelona, ​​1976) és filòloga i es dedica a l'escriptura, la traducció i la correcció. És autora de les col·leccions de relats L'aeroplà de Raval (LaBreu, 2006), Un altre got d'absenta (LaBreu, 2012) i El Parèntesi més Llarg (Proa, 2013), que va obtenir el Premi Mercè Rodoreda 2012 de contes i narracions, així com de la novel·la Maic (Baula, 2011).

Title: Wodjabet Author: C E Montague Narrator: Jake Urry, Ghizela Rowe Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 0 hours 49 minutes Release date: January 1, 2020 Genres: Short Stories Publisher's Summary: Charles Edward Montague was born in London on New Year’s Day, 1867 and educated at the City of London School and then Balliol College, Oxford.At university, Montague, a keen writer, wrote several literary reviews for the Manchester Guardian and was then invited for a month’s trial and, after impressing, to work there. Montague and the editor, C. P. Scott shared the same political views and between them they turned the Manchester Guardian into a vibrant and campaigning newspaper. They were for Irish Home Rule and against both the Boer War and the First World War.But, after the war had begun, Montague believed that it was important to give full and unequivocal support to the British government. Despite his age, 47, he was determined to serve.Montague was soon promoted to the rank of second lieutenant and with it a transfer to Military Intelligence. The war also brought about a crisis in his faith and it was suitable resolved by Montague temporarily putting it to one side and carrying on with the fighting.In November 1918 the war was over and Montague could now return home to his wife and family and also to the Manchester Guardian where he would continue to work until retirement in 1925. For Montague the war had been corrosive but it had given him much to write about, both for the paper and also for his books, which he now hoped to spend more time on. Among those to flow from his pen are the novels A Hind Let Loose and Rough Justice as well as collections of short stories, other essays and a travel book.He finally retired in 1925, and settled down to become a full-time writer in the last years of his life. Charles Edward Montague died in Manchester on May 28th, 1928 at the age of 61.

Title: The Adventures of Philip Marlowe - Volume 2 - The King in Yellow & Trouble Is My Business Series: #2 of Adventures of Philip Marlowe Radio Collection Author: Milton Geiger Narrator: Wendell Niles, Van Heflin, Ghizela Rowe Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 0 hours 59 minutes Release date: January 1, 2020 Genres: Short Stories Publisher's Summary: Philip Marlowe was the most hard-boiled of gumshoes, a Private Investigator who could smell a ruse, taste a betrayal and track down anyone hiding in the shadows. The radio series was so successful but by 1949 it had the largest audience of any radio show. That’s quite a claim, and even if not absolutely accurate it’s near the mark. Marlowe, created by Raymond Chandler, is someone we all seem to know, a door who’s door we would knock on in times of trial. His methods might not be totally within the law but hey, these were bad people he was up against and as anyone in the law business knows – needs must.Van Heflin is Philip Marlowe. And he’s ready for his next case.

Title: At the End of the Passage Author: Rudyard Kipling Narrator: Ghizela Rowe, Richard Mitchley Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 0 hours 42 minutes Release date: January 1, 2020 Genres: Short Stories Publisher's Summary: Rudyard Kipling was one of the most popular writers of prose and poetry in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He was awarded the Nobel prize for literature in 1907.Born in Bombay on 30th December 1865 both he and his sister were sent back to England when he was five, as was the custom of the British ruling elite in India. The ill-treatment and cruelty by the couple they boarded with in Portsmouth had one useful effect that Kipling himself suggested; it gave him an early impetus for a literary life.This was further enhanced by his return to India at the age of sixteen to work on a local paper. Not only did this result in him writing constantly but also gave him the opportunity to explore issues of identity and national allegiance which pervade much of his work.Whilst he is best remembered for his many classic children’s stories and a host of popular poems including ‘If….’ he is also regarded as a major innovator in the art of the short story.

Title: The Horla Author: Guy De Maupassant Narrator: Ghizela Rowe, Ian Holm Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 0 hours 46 minutes Release date: January 1, 2020 Genres: Short Stories Publisher's Summary: Henri René Albert Guy de Maupassant was born on August 5th, 1850 near Dieppe in France. Maupassant’s early life was badly torn when at age 11 (his younger brother Hervé was then five) his mother, Laure, a headstrong and independent-minded woman, risked social disgrace in order to obtain a legal separation from her husband.After the separation, Laure kept custody of her two boys. With the father now forcibly absent, Laure became the most influential and important figure in the young boy's life. Maupassant’s education was such that he rebelled against religion and other societal norms but a developing friendship with Gustave Flaubert began to turn his mind towards creativity and writing.After graduation he volunteered for the Franco-Prussian war. With its end he moved to Paris to work as a clerk in the Navy Department. Gustave Flaubert now took him under his wing. Acting as a literary guardian to him, he guided the eager Maupassant to debuts in journalism and literature. For Maupassant these were exciting times and the awakening of his creative talents and ambitions.In 1880 he published what is considered his first great work, ‘Boule de Suif’, (translated as as ‘Dumpling’, ‘Butterball’, ‘Ball of Fat’, or ‘Ball of Lard’) which met with a success that was both instant and overwhelming. Flaubert at once acknowledged that it was ‘a masterpiece that will endure.’ Maupassant had used his talents and experiences in the war to create something unique. This decade from 1880 to 1891 was to be the most pivotal of his career. With an audience now made available by the success of ‘Boule de Suif’ Maupassant organised himself to work methodically and relentlessly to produce between two and four volumes of work a year. The melding of his talents and business sense and the continual hunger of sources for his works made him wealthy.In his later years he developed a desire for solitude, an obsession for self-preservation, and a fear of death as well as a paranoia of persecution caused by the syphilis he had contracted in his youth. On January 2nd, 1892, Maupassant tried to commit suicide by cutting his throat. Unsuccessful he was committed to the private asylum of Esprit Blanche at Passy, in Paris. It was here on July 6th, 1893 that Henri René Albert Guy de Maupassant died at the age of only 42.

Title: [German] - Paare, Paarungen: Erzählungen zum Hören Author: Norbert Kron Narrator: Peter Wachsmann Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 0 hours 45 minutes Release date: August 23, 2016 Genres: Short Stories Publisher's Summary: Geschichten über Liebe, Begierde und Betrug 'Paare, Paarungen' sind provokative Erzählungen über die Verführungen, die sich Frauen und Männern bei der Liebessuche stellen: Das erste Hörbuch von Norbert Kron, gelesen von RBB-Moderator Peter Wachsmann. 'Norbert Kron erzählt extrem elegant, durchaus verführerisch und weitgehend untheoretisch: Von der Liebe, vom Geben und Nehmen, vom Spiel und Kampf der Geschlechter, von Begehren und Enttäuschung - eben von all dem, was Mann und Frau so ausmacht. Und er tut es klasse.' Jürgen Deppe, NDR Radio Kultur, über 'Der Begleiter' 'Der Autor ist sehr begabt und sehr intelligent. In der Liebesgeschichte sieht man, was in ihm steckt.' Marcel Reich-Ranicki, ZDF, über 'Autopilot' Wie schon in den Romanen 'Der Begleiter' und 'Autopilot' geht es auch in den neuen Erzählungen um die Fragen, die der Wunsch des Zusammenseins bei Männern und Frauen aufwirft. Beim Spiel mit der Liebe tragen sie wechselnde Gesichter: das der Begierde, das der Zusammengehörigkeit, das des Betrugs. Die Liebe bleibt nie, was sie anfangs ist. Sie verkleidet sich, trägt neue Masken, ruft Verwicklungen auf den Plan, die neue Geschichten erzählen. Das macht sie für die Liebenden zu einem Abenteuer, das Grenzen überschreitet. Zumal wenn ein Dritter hinzukommt oder das Verlangen mehr will, als es das klassische Lebensmodell vorsieht. 'Ein Seitensprung auf Sylt', 'Ein erotisches Spiel in Cannes', 'Lessons in Love': Auch in den neuen Erzählungen geht es um Drama, Komödie und Fantasie der Liebessuche. Norbert Kron lebt als Schriftsteller und ARD-Journalist ('titel thesen temperamente') in Berlin. Peter Wachsmann, geboren in Berlin, ist RBB-Moderator, Schauspieler und Synchronsprecher und wurde bekannt als Stimme vieler Dokumentar- und Reisefilme sowie Hörbücher.
