Story
Im Gegensatz zu Zolas monumentalem Romanwerk, zu seiner unsterblichen Anklage einer Korrupten Justiz im Falle Dreyfus ("J'accuse!") haben seine Kurzgeschichten nur selten die ihnen zukommende Aufmerksamkeit gefunden. Dabei gehören etliche zum Großartigsten, was die Weltliteratur an Kurzprosa besitzt. Dieses Hörbuch ist ein Bespiel davon. Im Gegensatz zu den hochdramatischen Verläufen vieler anderer Erzählungen, fand Zola in "Nantas" eine versöhnliche, sogar humorvolle Lösung.

Story
Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts: Auf der Suche nach Arbeit verschlägt es den jungen Maschinisten Etienne Lantier in eine Bergarbeitersiedlung im Norden Frankreichs. Entsetzt über das dort herrschende Elend und die unmenschlichen Arbeitsbedingungen ruft der überzeugte Sozialist seine Leidensgenossen zum Aufstand auf. Zunächst scheint ihr Streik von Erfolg gekrönt, doch schon bald geraten die Bergarbeiter in eine verhängnisvolle Spirale aus Verzweiflung, Sabotage und Verrat.

Story
"Roma" è il secondo volume del ciclo delle Tre città iniziato con "Lourdes" e conclusosi con "Parigi", nel 1898. L'abate Froment continua la sua ricerca spirituale, fra il desiderio di credere, e lo scontro con la realtà della Chiesa e della sua vocazione al potere politico. Al di là delle vicende del protagonista, che è a Roma per difendere un suo libro messo all'Indice, il libro è un lungo racconto di Roma, della sue vie, delle sue chiese, della miseria dovuta alla speculazione edilizia, dell'orgoglio, della volontà di sfoggio, di dominio che si sono trasmessi con lo stesso terreno su cui sorge.

Twenty-four-year-old Saeris Fane is good at keeping secrets. No one knows about the strange powers she possesses or the fact that she has been picking pockets and stealing from the Undying Queen's reservoirs for as long as she can remember. But a secret is like a knot. Sooner or later, it is bound to come undone. When Saeris comes face-to-face with Death himself, she inadvertently reopens a gateway between realms and is transported to a land of ice and snow. The Fae have always been the stuff of myth, of legend, of nightmares… but it turns out they're real.

But Threshing was only the first impossible test meant to weed out the weak-willed, the unworthy, and the unlucky. Now the real training begins, and Violet’s already wondering how she’ll get through.

It’s the new vice commandant, who’s made it his personal mission to teach Violet exactly how powerless she is–unless she betrays the man she loves.

Roshar is a world of stone and storms. Uncanny tempests of incredible power sweep across the rocky terrain so frequently that they have shaped ecology and civilization alike. Animals hide in shells, trees pull in branches, and grass retracts into the soilless ground. Cities are built only where the topography offers shelter. It has been centuries since the fall of the 10 consecrated orders known as the Knights Radiant, but their Shardblades and Shardplate remain: mystical swords and suits of armor.

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.
