Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol: The Complete Story Adapted for Modern Readers , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 196min
This complete version of A Christmas Carol is carefully crafted for the story's most avid listeners using modern grammar and vocabulary. A Christmas Carol is one of Dickens’ best works, and in many ways, it has defined how Christmas is viewed and acted upon around the world. Christmas is a time for worship, family, friends, and love, and A Christmas Carol poignantly reminds and instructs us to express those things through charity, mercy, forbearance, and benevolence in honor of the sacred day.However, as the English language evolves, this wonderfully instructive story is in danger of only being covered as a school requirement by grudging students. That would be a sad loss for all listeners. As an avid listener, teacher, and parent who simply loves this story, Jennifer George adapted this classic book for modern listeners using 21st-century English. The goal is to return this magical novella back into the entertaining story it was when it was written nearly 200 years ago. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Angus Freathy.

The Prison of Perspective , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 681min
A chance encounter, a road accident, an air crash, a holdup at a bank: How do such events connect people? How do people see the situations from their different perspectives? Three narrative strands follow the lives of three individuals - Peter, Cathy and Ivan - through the second half of the 20th century, from postwar austerity and mediocrity in the 1950s and 1960s to the fast-moving lifestyle of the present decade, whereby the plot is embedded in real events of the period. The three biographies intersect at crucial points, which reveals their internal landscapes and the different ways of understanding reality. Things are not always what they seem, and we do not always know the whole truth. Playing with various time levels, this novel of the mind deals primarily with potential fallacies of perception, sexual awakening, emotional exploitation, and the proximity of death. How do we store the memorable events in our lives? And how do we cope with these memories as we grow older? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Angus Freathy.

Simply Hegel : Great Lives, Book 18 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 227min
Born in Stuttgart, Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770-1831) attended the Gymnasium Illustre and, at the age of 18, entered the Tübingen Seminary, from which he received his theological certificate in 1793. His early writings, composed while he was serving as a family tutor in Bern and Frankfurt, dealt with religious subjects. From 1801 until his untimely death 30 years later, Hegel held professorships at several prestigious universities and went on to write the landmark works for which he’s known, including his masterpiece the Phenomenology of Spirit (1807). Renowned in his own time, he gained great fame as a lecturer, with students coming from all over Europe to attend his classes. In Simply Hegel, Robert L. Wicks presents Hegel’s revolutionary philosophy in clear and simple language, illuminating not only his basic ideas, but also the deeper meanings hidden within the book. Wicks’s analysis also contextualizes Hegel’s thought by providing a vivid chronology of his times, which included such earth-shaking events as the French Revolution and Napoleon’s invasion of Prussia. Offering the listener key insights into German idealist philosophy, as well as Hegel’s unique role in the evolution of ideas, Simply Hegel is a superb introduction to both a towering historical figure and a philosophical system that continues to echo through our own times. ungekürzt.

Learn French: A Fast and Easy Guide for Beginners to Learn Conversational French , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 87min
Are you looking for the best way to learn French? Well, look no further. This book is, simply put, the best on the market for learning French. Why do I say that? Because this book does what language books should do - teach you the mechanics of the language, not a bunch of tourist trap phrases that you'll forget the second you leave the country. If books don't do that, then they make the critical mistake of going into far too much detail and boring you half to death spending a lot of time going on about three different kinds of articles. I don't do that either. What this book does do, and does very well in fact, is set you up with the knowledge that you want and need of French in a very short time frame, so that you can blast through this book and already feel like you're set up for success. This book isn't a reference, nor is it a crash course on the French language; it's both. You'll listen through this book and understand, then you'll apply what you've learned (and inevitably look back at this book down the line to rehash your memory), and you'll grow even more as a French speaker. Don't waste your time and money on a subpar French book. Go with the best from the get-go. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Angus Freathy.
