The Library at Mount Char

"Read by Hillary Huber A mysterious library holds the secrets to the universe. With an unforgettable cast of characters and a plot that will shock you again and again, The Library at Mount Char by Scott Hawkins is astonishingly alien and heartbreakingly human. This cult classic novel, available for the first time in digital audio in the UK, signals the return of a major voice in fantasy. Carolyn's not so different from normal people. She likes guacamole and cigarettes and steak. She knows how to use a phone. Clothes are sometimes tricky, but everyone says nice things about her Christmas sweater and gold bicycle shorts. After all, she was a normal American once. But that was a long time ago. Before her parents died. Before she and the others were taken in by a man they called Father. Since then, Carolyn and her adopted siblings have studied the books in his Library and learned some of the secrets of his mysterious powers. Sometimes, they've wondered if their cruel tutor might secretly be God. Now, Father is missing - perhaps dead - and the Library stands unguarded. And with it, control over all of creation. As Carolyn prepares for a battle to control the Lirary, fierce competitors align against her, all of them with powers that far exceed her own. But Carolyn has accounted for this. And Carolyn has a plan. But in this war to make a new God, can she retain the things that make her human? Unlike anything else you will ever listen to, The Library at Mount Char is the word-of-mouth cult sensation - perfect for fans of Susanna Clarke, Stephen King and Lev Grossman. Don't miss Blacktail, the long-awaited second novel by Scott Hawkins, a decade in the making. * * * 'Wholly original . . . the work of the newest major talent in fantasy' - The Wall Street Journal 'Morbid and action-packed and existential and utterly resistant to categorization' - V. E. Schwab, author of The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue 'The Library at Mount Char is a brilliant masterwork. A modern The Stand. It's one of the best books I've ever read' - Sarah Langan, author of Trad Wife"

[German] - Die Bibliothek am Mount Char

"Ein verschwundener Gott. Eine Bibliothek mit den Geheimnissen des Universums. Eine Frau, die zu beschäftigt ist, um zu merken, wie ihr das Herz entgleitet. Carolyn ist nicht viel anders als die Menschen um sie herum. Sie mag Guacamole, Zigaretten und Steak. Sie weiß, wie man ein Telefon benutzt. Kleidung ist ein bisschen knifflig, aber alle sagen nette Dinge über ihr Outfit mit dem Weihnachtspullover über den goldenen Fahrradhosen. Schließlich war sie selbst einmal eine normale Amerikanerin. Das war natürlich vor langer Zeit. Bevor ihre Eltern starben. Bevor sie und die anderen vom Mann, den sie Vater nannten, aufgenommen wurden. In den Jahren seitdem hatte Carolyn nicht viel Gelegenheit, rauszukommen. Stattdessen wurden sie und ihre Adoptivgeschwister nach den alten Bräuchen Vaters erzogen. Sie haben die Bücher in seiner Bibliothek studiert und einige seiner Geheimnisse gelernt. Und manchmal haben sie sich gefragt, ob ihr grausamer Lehrer heimlich Gott sein könnte. Jetzt ist Vater verschwunden – vielleicht sogar tot – und die Bibliothek, die seine Geheimnisse birgt, ungeschützt. Und damit auch die Kontrolle über die gesamte Schöpfung. Während Carolyn die nötigen Hilfsmittel für den bevorstehenden Kampf sammelt, stellen sich ihr erbitterte Konkurrenten in den Weg, die allesamt über Kräfte verfügen, die ihre eigenen bei weitem übersteigen. Aber Carolyn hat damit gerechnet. Und Carolyn hat einen Plan. Das einzige Problem ist, dass sie im Bemühen, einen neuen Gott zu erschaffen, vergessen hat, die Dinge zu schützen, die sie menschlich machen. Bevölkert von unvergesslichen Charakteren und vorangetrieben von einer Handlung, die immer wieder überrascht, ist Die Bibliothek am Mount Char zugleich erschreckend und urkomisch, verblüffend fremdartig und herzzerreißend menschlich, weitblickend visionär und atemberaubend spannend."
