About this listen
Ein kurzer Besuch in einem Davoser Sanatorium wird für den jungen Ingenieur Hans Castorp zu einem siebenjährigen Aufenthalt, der Kurort wird zur Bühne für die europäische Befindlichkeit vor dem Ersten Weltkrieg. Fern von der erdrückenden Realität drehen sich die Gespräche unter den Patienten um Politik, Philosophie, Liebe, Krankheit und Tod. Im Juli 1913 begonnen, während des Krieges durch essayistische Arbeiten unterbrochen, konnte der Roman 1924 abgeschlossen und veröffentlicht werden.

Story
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.

Story
Who is Audrey Hoedemaker? It's a question her sister Maureen has heard more times than she can count, and she doesn't know what the short answer would be. Little sister, troubled teen, backpacker, musical theatre coach, con artist, childcare worker. Murderer. A tragic, traumatic childhood casts a long shadow on the Hoedemaker sisters. Maureen has worked hard to move beyond the violence of the past and build a good, honest life for herself. Audrey, however, just can't seem to do the same, careening from one state of chaos to another.

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.

It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

The 13 chapters of The Art of War, each devoted to one aspect of warfare, were compiled by the high-ranking Chinese military general, strategist, and philosopher Sun-Tzu. In spite of its battlefield specificity, The Art of War has found new life in the modern age, with leaders in fields as wide and far-reaching as world politics, human psychology, and corporate strategy finding valuable insight in its timeworn words.

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
In seinem ersten Roman Buddenbrooks erzählt Thomas Mann nur wenig verschlüsselt die Geschichte seiner Familie und ihrer Stellung in der Vaterstadt Lübeck, soweit er sie nachvollziehen, in Einzelheiten überblicken konnte, ja sogar noch miterlebt hat. Verwandte, Honoratioren und markante Persönlichkeiten seiner Jugend werden integriert. Es ist die Geschichte des langsamen Niedergangs einer reichen Kaufmannsfamilie über vier Generationen hinweg. Auch mehr als hundert Jahren nach seinem ersten Erscheinen hat der Roman nichts an Charme und Aktualität eingebüßt.

Der Zauberer und der König der Vorleser. Gert Westphal ist eine Legende: Die wohlklingende, modulationsreiche Stimme, sein untrügliches Gespür für Rhythmus, die souveränen Tempo- und Rollenwechsel, die kräftigen Dialektfarben - nicht umsonst hat die ZEIT ihn zum "König der Vorleser" gekürt. Besonders berühmt wurden seine Rezitationen Thomas Manns, dessen "oberster Mund" (Katja Mann) er war. In dieser Edition kann man wieder und wieder dessen großen Erzählungen und Romanen lauschen.

Thomas Manns vierbändiger Josephsroman ist ein Gipfelwerk des 20. Jahrhunderts. Zwischen 1933 und 1943 erschienen, stand diese große biblische Erzählung von Anfang an konträr zur Nazi-Ideologie, sie eröffnet Perspektiven auf die Menschheitsgeschichte und gilt heute als großes Monument des Exils und der Humanität. Voller Schönheit und Erotik, humorvoll, subtil und detailreich erzählt Thomas Mann von Josephs Fall und vom Verrat durch die Brüder, von Gefangenschaft und Aufstieg in Ägypten.

Story
In der Lebensgeschichte Adrian Leverkühns – der fiktiven Romanbiographie eines Komponisten, der sich dem Teufel verschreibt – fasst Thomas Mann alle Entwicklungsstufen der alten Faust-Sage zusammen und verknüpft sie mit den politischen Ereignissen seiner Zeit. Der zeitliche Rahmen umgrenzt die Jahre von 1884 bis 1945, seine eigene Epoche. Er selbst nannte den "Doktor Faustus" "ein Lebensbuch von fast sträflicher Schonungslosigkeit, eine sonderbare Art von übertragener Autobiographie, ein Werk, das mich mehr gekostet und tiefer an mir gezehrt hat, als jedes frühere".

Hans Castorp is, on the face of it, an ordinary man in his early 20s, on course to start a career in ship engineering in his home town of Hamburg, when he decides to travel to the Berghof Santatorium in Davos. The year is 1912 and an oblivious world is on the brink of war. Castorp’s friend Joachim Ziemssen is taking the cure and a three-week visit seems a perfect break before work begins. But when Castorp arrives he is surprised to find an established community of patients, and little by little, he gets drawn into the closeted life and the individual personalities of the residents.

Story
Thomas Mann's last great novel, first published in 1947 and now newly rendered into English by acclaimed translator John E. Woods, is a modern reworking of the Faust legend, in which Germany sells its soul to the Devil. Mann's protagonist, the composer Adrian Leverkühn, is the flower of German culture, a brilliant, isolated, overreaching figure, his radical new music a breakneck game played by art at the very edge of impossibility. In return for twenty-four years of unparalleled musical accomplishment, he bargains away his soul—and the ability to love his fellow man.

Ausgangspunkt für Thomas Manns Goethe-Roman ist der historisch belegte Besuch Charlotte Kestners, Goethes unglücklicher Jugendliebe und Vorbild für die Figur der Lotte im 'Werther', 1816 in Weimar. In einer Mischung aus Fiktion und Wirklichkeit arrangiert Thomas Mann geschickt das Wiedertreffen zwischen Lotte und dem inzwischen berühmten Goethe. Es kommt zu Gesprächen, von denen sich Lotte Aufschluss über die frühere Leidenschaft erhofft. Gert Westphal gibt diesem Mann`schen Roman seine klangvolle Stimme.

Story
Bölls Hauptfigur und Ich-Erzähler, der Clown und Pantomime Hans Schnier, braucht für die Religion eine Amtskirche ebensowenig wie für die Liebe. Er verteidigt seine individuelle Freiheit gegen jegliches Ordnungsprinzip und jeden Machtanspruch. Seine bitteren Wahrheiten spricht er aus in der Maske des Clowns. Über seinen Roman "Ansichten eines Clowns" sagte Böll, sein Handlungsvorwurf sei eigentlich die Geschichte von Theseus und Ariadne. Theseus im Labyrinth, Ariadne schneidet den Faden ab und da sitzt er da, und das Labyrinth ist der politische deutsche Katholizismus.

Story
The Sound and the Fury is the tragedy of the Compson family, featuring some of the most memorable characters in literature: beautiful, rebellious Caddy; the manchild Benjy; haunted, neurotic Quentin; Jason, the brutal cynic; and Dilsey, their black servant. Their lives fragmented and harrowed by history and legacy, the character’s voices and actions mesh to create what is arguably Faulkner’s masterpiece and one of the greatest novels of the twentieth century.

Chapters missing, divisions make no sense
The first part of “Als Soldat und Brav”, one of the best parts. of the book is missing. The chapter count makes no sense and is sloppy. “Chapters” are cut mid sentence.
