  The Awakening of Latin America (eBook, ePUB)

  This classic anthology on Latin America shows the Argentine-born revolutionary's cultural depth, rigorous intellect, and intense emotional engagement with a continent and its people. In a letter to his mother in 1954, a young Ernesto Guevara wrote, "The Americas will be the theater of my adventures in a way that is much more significant than I would have believed." In The Awakening of Latin America we have the story of those adventures, charting Che's evolution from an impressionable young medical student to the "heroic guerrilla," assassinated in cold blood in Bolivia. Spanning seventeen years, this anthology draws on from his family's personal archives and offers the best of Che's writing: examples of his journalism, essays, speeches, letters, and even poems. As Che documents his early travels through Latin America, his involvement in the Guatemalan and Cuban revolutions, and his rise to international prominence under Fidel Castro, we see how his fervent commitment to social justice shaped and was shaped by the continent he called home.

  Fathers and Sons , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 491min

  When Arkady Petrovich comes home from college, his father finds his eager, naïve son changed almost beyond recognition, for the impressionable Arkady has fallen under the powerful influence of the friend he has brought with him. A self-proclaimed nihilist, the ardent young Bazarov shocks Arkady's father by criticizing the landowning way of life and by his outspoken determination to sweep away traditional values of contemporary Russian society. Turgenev's depiction of the conflict between generations and their ideals stunned readers when Fathers and Sons was first published in 1862. But many could also sympathize with Arkady's fascination with its nihilist hero, whose story vividly captures the hopes and regrets of a changing Russia. Fathers and Sons is a brilliant work that captures the tension that existed among generations and class in the prerevolutionary era in Russia. This version of Fathers and Sons is the translation by Constance Garnett. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Sean Runnette.

  Stillborn , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 275min

  Carl Harper, a teacher living in South Dakota, has done just about everything possible to escape his past. Unknown to his friends, his colleagues, and his students, Carl was once the depraved frontman of the needlessly controversial British punk band Stillborn. When Jessica Millar turns up to her Saturday detention, fresh from her vacation in England, she is wearing one of Stillborn's T-shirts, and slowly but surely the rickety shack of lies and self-deception Carl has made from himself crumbles to the ground. What follows is a story of terrible music, worse drugs, attempted murderer, successful manslaughter, and plenty of bad language. What follows, in short, is a story that most certainly should not be shared with an impressionable 16-year-old girl and the consequences for his little confessional prove dire. ungekürzt.

  A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 509min

  Perhaps James Joyce's most personal work, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man depicts the intellectual awakening of one of literature's most memorable young heroes, Stephen Dedalus. Through a series of brilliant epiphanies that parallel the development of his own aesthetic consciousness, Joyce evokes Stephen's youth, from his impressionable years as the youngest student at the Clongowed Wood school to the deep religious conflict he experiences at a day school in Dublin, and finally to his college studies, where he challenges the conventions of his upbringing and his understanding of faith and intellectual freedom. Joyce's highly autobiographical novel was first published in the United States in 1916 to immediate acclaim. Ezra Pound accurately predicted that Joyce's book would "remain a permanent part of English literature", while H. G. Wells dubbed it "by far the most important living and convincing picture that exists of an Irish Catholic upbringing". ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: John Lee.

The degradations of a slave existence and the courage to survive under the most harrowing conditions have rarely been recorded with such painful honesty.Sufferings in Africa is a classic travel-adventure narrative and a fascinating testament of white Americans enslaved abroad, during a time when slavery flourished throughout the United States. ungekürzt.

  Lucy Gayheart , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 308min

  In this haunting 1935 novel, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of My Ántonia performs crystalline variations on the themes that preoccupy her greatest fiction: the impermanence of innocence, the opposition between prairie and city, provincial American values and world culture, and the grandeur, elation, and heartache that await a gifted young woman who leaves her small Nebraska town to pursue a life in art. At the age of 18, Lucy Gayheart heads for Chicago to study music. She is beautiful and impressionable and ardent, and these qualities attract the attention of Clement Sebastian, an aging but charismatic singer who exercises all the tragic, sinister fascination of a man who has renounced life only to turn back to seize it one last time. Out of their doomed love affair - and Lucy's fatal estrangement from her origins - Willa Cather creates a novel that is as achingly lovely as a Schubert sonata.  ungekürzt. Language: English.
