Welcome to the fascinating world of narrated stories! What flows effortlessly into our ears today via stream or download began in the late 19th century with crackling wax cylinders. Since then, the audiobook has undergone an incredible journey: from the first audiobooks for the blind in the 1950s to today's digital experience. The variety of genres is as diverse as the medium's history—and it is exactly this variety that I cherish in my own collection.
I love diving into distant fantasy worlds with Christopher Paolini or
Torsten Weitze, or embarking on epic adventures with Bernhard Hennen
and Markus Heitz. When I’m in the mood for a laugh, I turn to the
humorous novels of David Safier and Ellen Berg, while Nicola Förg’s
regional mysteries always keep me on the edge of my seat. For dreaming
and winding down, the soulful stories of Lucinda Riley or Lotte Römer
are my absolute favorites.
