Story4.5 out of 5 stars 27
On l'appelait le "mage du Kremlin". L'énigmatique Vadim Baranov fut metteur en scène puis producteur d'émissions de télé-réalité avant de devenir l'éminence grise de Poutine, dit le Tsar. Après sa démission du poste de conseiller politique, les légendes sur son compte se multiplient, sans que nul puisse démêler le faux du vrai. Jusqu'à ce que, une nuit, il confie son histoire au narrateur de ce livre... Ce récit nous plonge au cœur du pouvoir russe, où courtisans et oligarques se livrent une guerre de tous les instants.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 32
En 2018, Diégane Latyr Faye, jeune écrivain sénégalais, découvre à Paris un livre mythique, paru en 1938 : Le Labyrinthe de l'inhumain. On a perdu la trace de son auteur, qualifié en son temps de "Rimbaud nègre", depuis le scandale que déclencha la parution de son texte. Diégane s'engage alors, fasciné, sur la piste du mystérieux T.C. Elimane, où il affronte les grandes tragédies que sont le colonialisme ou la Shoah. Du Sénégal à la France en passant par l'Argentine, quelle vérité l'attend au centre de ce labyrinthe ?

En quelques pages, à la première personne, Annie Ernaux raconte une relation vécue avec un homme de trente ans de moins qu'elle. Une expérience qui la fit redevenir, l'espace de plusieurs mois, la "fille scandaleuse" de sa jeunesse. Un voyage dans le temps qui lui permit de franchir une étape décisive dans son écriture. La lecture sensible de Françoise Gillard de la Comédie-Française met en valeur ce texte clé de l'œuvre d'Annie Ernaux qui éclaire son rapport au temps et à l'écriture.

Publisher's summary
Après le succès d' Isabelle l'après-midi, Douglas Kennedy se réinvente encore et change de décor. Direction Los Angeles et une Amérique rongée par la crise... A mi-chemin entre roman noir et chronique sociale, Les hommes ont peur de la lumière est surtout le bouleversant portrait d'un homme bien, piégé par la violence.
Dans un Los Angeles crépusculaire, le grand retour de Douglas Kennedy au roman noir ! Un après-midi calme et ensoleillé, un bâtiment en apparence anonyme et soudain, l'explosion d'une bombe.
L'immeuble dévasté abritait l'une des rares cliniques pratiquant l'avortement. Une victime est à déplorer et parmi les témoins impuissants, Brendan, un chauffeur Uber d'une cinquantaine d'années, et sa cliente Elise, une ancienne professeure de fac qui aide des femmes en difficulté à se faire avorter.
Au mauvais endroit au mauvais moment, l'intellectuelle bourgeoise et le chic type sans histoires vont se retrouver embarqués malgré eux dans une dangereuse course contre la montre. Car si au départ tout semble prouver qu'il s'agit d'un attentat perpétré par un groupuscule d'intégristes religieux, la réalité est bien plus trouble et inquiétante...
Tout à la fois thriller haletant et chronique d'une Amérique en crise, Les hommes ont peur de la lumière est surtout le puissant portrait d'un homme et d'une femme qui, envers et contre tout, essaient de rester debout.

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.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 680
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.

Grace Evans, an overworked New Yorker looking for a total escape from her busy life, books an Airbnb on a ranch in the middle of Wyoming. When she arrives at the idyllic getaway, she’s pleased to find that the owner is a handsome man by the name of Calvin Wells—and he’s eager to introduce her to his easygoing way of life.

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.

Renowned as much for her wit and satirical social commentary as for her stories of love and romance, Jane Austen remains unfailingly relevant and one of Britain’s best loved authors. In this Audible Original collection, an all-star list of narrators (Billie Piper, Claire Foy, Emma Thompson, Florence Pugh and Gugu Mbatha-Raw) capture Austen’s pin-sharp humour and tone in these dramatisations of her six beloved novels accompanied by a full cast.
