Imagine a sisterhood – across all creeds and cultures. An unspoken agreement that we, as women, will support and encourage one another. That we will remember we don't know what struggles each of us may be facing elsewhere in our lives and so we will assume that each of us is doing our best… So begins WE: an inspiring, empowering and provocative manifesto for change. Change which we can all effect, one woman at a time. Change which provides a crucial and timely antidote to the 'have-it-all' Superwoman culture and instead focusses on what will make each and every one of us happier and more free. Change which provides an answer to the nagging sense of 'is that it?' that almost all of us can succumb to when we wake in the dead of night. Written by actress Gillian Anderson and journalist Jennifer Nadel – two friends who for the last decade have stumbled along together, learning, failing, crying, laughing and trying again – WE is a not a theoretical treatise but instead a rallying cry to create a life that has greater meaning and purpose. Combining tools which are practical, psychological and spiritual, it is both a process and a vision for a more fulfilling way of living. And a truly inspiring vision of a happier, more emotionally rewarding future we can all create together…

Intim, explizit, echt – Sex in den Köpfen von Frauen Gillian Anderson präsentiert in »WANT« eine spektakuläre Bestandsaufnahme der weiblichen Sexualität – mit Stimmen von Frauen aus der ganzen Welt! Diese bahnbrechende und sensationelle Erkundung stellt Fragen – und liefert Antworten. Was wollen Sie, wenn niemand zuschaut? Was wollen Sie, wenn die Lichter aus sind?Was wollen Sie, wenn Sie niemand verurteilt für das, was Sie sich wünschen?Viele Themen drängen sich auf, wenn wir über weiblichen Sex sprechen: Verantwortung und Mutterschaft, Untreue und Ausbeutung, Zustimmung und Respekt, Fairness und Gleichberechtigung, Liebe und Hass, Lust und Schmerz. Über die intimsten Wünsche, Sehnsüchte und Fantasien sprechen viele von uns aus verschiedenen Gründen nicht. Angst vor Verurteilung, Hemmungen oder schlicht der falsche Gesprächsrahmen können die Ursache sein. Dieses Hörbuch ist anders: »WANT« gibt Frauen und weiblich gelesenen Personen den Raum, das zu erzählen, was sie sonst verschweigen – was sie vielleicht sogar sich selbst gegenüber nur mühevoll eingestehen. So schreibt eine Sikh-Frau über die heimliche Lust auf ihren Schwager. Eine Britin, die einfach nur ein letztes Mal richtig geküsst werden möchte, erzählt von ihrer tiefen Sehnsucht. Eine hispanisch-jüdische Frau, die in Bangladesch lebt, beschreibt einen Türknauf als Höhepunkt ihrer sexuellen Erregung. Es geht um konkrete Fantasien, sexuelles Verlangen, aber auch um Beziehungen und Macht. WANT zeigt eindrucksvoll, wie Frauen über Sex denken, wenn sie die Freiheit der Anonymität genießen. Die Schauspielerin und Aktivistin Gillian Anderson hat aus tausenden Zusendungen eine einzigartige Sammlung erstellt – und der weiblichen Sexualität damit viele Stimmen gegeben. Auch ihren eigenen Brief hat sie geschrieben, anonym, selbstverständlich.

WANT

Gillian Anderson’s “addictive” (Marie Claire) paranormal thriller series comes to a thrilling conclusion in The Sound of Seas, involving time travel, ghosts, alien technology, and strange spiritual powers…the perfect combination for X-Files fans. After discovering the secrets to the Gaalderkhani tiles—ancient computers that house not just memories, but untold destructive force—Caitlin O’Hara’s son gets accidentally thrust back in time. In order to save him she must master the power of the tiles and figure out what the Gaalderkhani’s modern relatives are searching and killing for. Can she put the pieces together and bring her son back home again? In the exciting finale to their acclaimed paranormal series that’s been praised as “a real page-turner” (New York Live) and for “fans of Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child” (Publishers Weekly), Gillian Anderson and Jeff Rovin pull out all the stops in The Sound of Seas. This is a novel that will not disappoint.

The Last Act (A Roald Dahl Short Story)

From Gillian Anderson, acclaimed actress and X-Files star, and New York Times bestselling coauthor Jeff Rovin comes the second book in the thrilling paranormal EarthEnd Saga that Flavorwire called “the dream of nerds everywhere.” After uncovering a mystical link to the ancient civilization of Galderkhaan, child psychologist Caitlin O’Hara is left with strange new powers. Suddenly she can heal her young patients with her mind and see things from other places and other times. But as she learns more about her powers, she also realizes that someone is watching her, perhaps hunting her—and using her son to do it. Meanwhile Mikel Jasso, a field agent for a mysterious research organization, is hunting Galderkhaani artifacts in Antarctica. After falling down a crevasse, he discovers that the entire city has been preserved under ice and that the mysterious stone artifacts he’s been collecting are not as primitive as he thought. The stone artifacts are, in fact, advanced computers, keeping the memories, and maybe even the souls of the Galderkhaani people alive. And something has activated them in the present. As Mikel and Caitlin work to uncover the mysteries of the Galderkhaani, they realize that the person hunting Caitlin and the thing that has activated the stones may be one and the same. “Fans of Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child will find a lot to like” (Publishers Weekly) in the Earthend Saga, and this latest adventure is sure to leave you gasping for breath as Caitlin races against time to save what’s dearest to her heart.

A Dream of Ice

A Vision of Fire is the explosive first novel from iconic X-Files star Gillian Anderson and New York Times bestselling author Jeff Rovin: “Fans of Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child will find a lot to like” (Publishers Weekly). Renowned child psychologist Caitlin O’Hara is a single mom trying to juggle her job, her son, and a lackluster dating life. Her world is suddenly upturned when Maanik, the daughter of India’s ambassador to the United Nations starts speaking in tongues and having violent visions. Maanik’s parents are sure that her fits have something to do with the recent assassination attempt on her father—a shooting that has escalated nuclear tensions between India and Pakistan to dangerous levels—but when children start having similar outbursts around the world, Caitlin begins to think that there’s a stranger force at work. In Haiti, a student claws at her throat, drowning on dry land. In Iran, a boy suddenly and inexplicably bursts into flame. On the Pakistan border, a young man feels a burning in his chest and, against his will, opens fire on Indian troops. With Asia on the cusp of nuclear war, Caitlin must race across the globe and uncover the supernatural links between these seemingly unrelated cases in order to save her patient—and perhaps the world. The first in a series, A Vision of Fire is a pulse-pounding thriller that will leave you gasping for more.
