Editorial reviews
"Das Licht der Welt" von Daniel Wolf ist eine Zeitreise in die Vergangenheit. Genau genommen ins Lothringen des 13. Jahrhunderts. Die Stadt Varennes-Saint-Jacques dient hier als Schauplatz einer Geschichte um drei mutige Menschen und ihre Zukunftsträume.
Da ist Rémy Fleury, der als Buchmaler sein Geld verdient und die Vision einer großen Bibliothek verfolgt. Und sein Vater Michel, amtierender Bürgermeister von Varennes, der seiner Heimat mehr Wohlstand und Frieden zuteil werden lassen möchte. Und die junge Patrizierin Philippine, die den Geistern ihrer Vergangenheit nicht entkommt.
Gelesen von Johannes Steck ist "Das Licht der Welt" von Daniel Wolf ein abenteuerliches Historien-Hörbuch, bei dem es um den ewigen Kampf zwischen Gut und Böse geht. In einer Zeit, in der die Träume des Einzelnen allzu oft den Bedürfnissen der Familie untergeordnet werden müssen. Ein unterhaltsames Hörbuch, das dich mitnimmt in das mittelalterliche Leben von Varennes-Saint-Jacques.
Publisher's summary
Die junge Patrizierin Philippine ist in ihrer Vergangenheit gefangen und trifft eine folgenschwere Entscheidung. Sie alle eint der Wunsch nach einer besseren Zukunft, doch ihre Feinde lassen nichts unversucht, sie aufzuhalten...

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 538
It’s the summer of ’77 in New York City, and the only thing more unnerving than the scorching heatwave is the rampant murder, leaving washed-up homicide detective Richard Dietrich on edge. When Dietrich investigates a brutal mob hit the brass doesn’t want him to solve, he goes from phoning it in to getting in over his head. Caught up in a mysterious second homicide with an even more perplexing perpetrator, Dietrich starts to second guess his instincts—and his memory—as he searches for answers at the bottom of a bottle.

This newer edition of the King James Bible published in 1769 is usually preferred by most that read it over the older 1611 version. This 1769 edition is highly sought after due to being more reader/listener friendly than the 1611 since many typos were fixed.... We hope your new audio bible will go everywhere with you and be a blessing for years to come.

In the heart of the South Pacific lies Point Nemo, the most desolate and remote place on Earth. At its core is a dead zone, devoid of life, where government agencies crash their obsolete satellites and space stations, confident they won't harm a soul. When the International Space Station suffers a catastrophic failure and plummets through the atmosphere, it's here that Mission Specialist Julie Rohr, an astrobiologist studying living space dust called xylem, finds herself marooned. Julie's only hope for rescue lies in the hands of her estranged father, Dr. Finn Maddern, a renowned mycologist.

The doorbell rings, just days after my beloved husband’s sudden death. I don’t recognise the woman on our doorstep, with her blonde highlights, a diamond bracelet identical to my own and a bouncing baby boy in her arms. As I show her inside, I notice her eyes grow wide as she takes in our spacious hallway, and the big squashy sofas that we all used to pile on. She glances at the silver-framed family photos and my little daughter hiding behind my skirts. She looks at me, her blue eyes serious. ‘I’m sorry’ she says. ‘I am your husband’s girlfriend. And this is his son.'

When the call came it seemed like the answer to my prayers. My career as a voice actor had been over for months and me and my little girl Scarlet were living back at my mum’s place. I felt like a failure professionally—and with Scarlet having problems at school, as a parent as well. So, when I was asked to narrate a new book by disappeared novelist Philippa Roberts I jumped at the chance, even if it meant leaving Scarlet with my ex, Hugo, for a few weeks. Hugo, with his perfect new home and his perfect new girlfriend Saskia. But this isn’t a dream come true. It’s a nightmare.

Emma and Ariella, neighbours in one of Sydney’s most exclusive suburbs, appear to have it all—perfect homes, perfect husbands, perfect lives. But they both know dark secrets lurk beneath the surface and shallow waters can’t hide Ariella’s. Now she has been found murdered. Her daughter filmed the killing. Not knowing what she’s filmed, Emma’s daughter Kiki innocently uploads footage of Ariella’s brutal death. Emma fears the worst—the killer will know what she and Kiki have seen. Their safe suburban lives no longer exist.
